Asked By:miffy28378 in St. John's NL

I woke up this morning and found 2 stripes of brown line on my left face 4 weeks after microneedling. I'm due for my next microneedling appointment 1 week from today. Why take so long for the pigmentation to show up and how long before it'll fade away. Am I safe to get another treatment done in a week. Thank you in advance!
