In the process of removing microblading via injecting glycolic acid. How to resolve pink/indented skin after scabs fall off?

Question

I'm in the process of removing microblading via injecting glycolic acid. Lasers didn't work because the pigment was all metals, so it oxidized. The glycolic injection has helped a lot, but I have one more to do, and it looks like I might have pink/red indented/depressed skin where the peeling occurs. It's been only 3 wks. Once I'm done with the glycolic peels, what treatment (lasers, etc) should I take to both 1) remove any redness/pink and 2) build up the skin? VBeam & microneedling?

Amy Miller, MD · Answer

Vbeam and microneedling is a great idea.  The Vbeam will target any excess vascularity in the skin and decrease red/pink colors.  Microneedling will help build up the collagen and "fill in" the area.  If microneedling is not enough you may want to consider a hyaluronic acid filler to "fluff" the area.  If the Vbeam is not enough you could also try the KTP-Yag laser to target redness.  It sounds like you know whats up and have things under control.  Best of luck to you!
