I just used the Dermapen for the first time and stupidly mistook a marking on the back of the pen as the depth indicator instead of the correct indicator on the front on the pen, so I had the depth settings WAY too high. I used a 2.10 on my cheeks and chin (meant to use 1.0). Also used a 1.6 depth for my forehead (meant to be 0.5) and a 1.4 very briefly under my eyes (meant to be 0.25). How much damage should I expect to see and is there anything I can do at this point to mitigate the damage?

Hi,
Melasma is not responsive to dermapen and even with a partial response it will reappears and even look worst. you may combine the 0.5 or 1 mm dermapen treatment with application of whitening mesoserum right after dermapen to have better result.
