Could it even be considered micro needling? A head with only one needle (Nouveau Contour) was used. I felt it singularly pricking my skin on the red hyper pigmented spots and ice pick scars. After, my face was not red/sensitive. She didn't go over my whole face in passes or circular motion, only treated the "problem" areas. But isn't micro needling the whole face, with multiple passes? Is there a name for this type of treatment?

This is difficult to answer without pictures. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care and skin care recommendations. I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to get the best outcomes. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If you are still seeing positive results from your microneedling, by all means, keep going!
Microneedling has been safely used in a wide variety of patient-types including patients of all skin-types. We recommend your treatments be 4 weeks a part.
