Brown stripes on face 4 weeks after microneedling, am I safe to get another treatment done in a week? (photo)

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for recommendations for after care and skin care. With microneedling, I always combine prp and lasers to get the most robust results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question. The swelling post microneedling after 8 days is unusual.  Prednisone is a good anti inflammatory drug and it can be used safely for short periods of time. Best, Oxana Popescu MD

Hi @Joyce_angel1! This is a great question. If microneedling is performed by a skilled professional, it should not cause keloids. Microneedling with PRP is a great option for acne scars. 3-6 sessions are necessary for optimal results. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your question. Treatments must be spaced at least 4 weeks apart for appropriate skin cell turnover, and typically the redness will last 3-5 days. Cell turnover is the skin's natural exfoliation process. The skin naturally sheds dead skin cells through a process called desquama...

I do not recommend micro-needling yourself. It is not simply about the depth of the needle, but how you treat and what you treat with. I recommend you visit an expert in your area for best results as doing it incorrectly may cause more severe scarring and worsen your issue. I hope this helps....
