Can I get microneedling collagen induction therapy (CIT) over a pacemaker scar if performed by a medical aesthetician?

August 21, 2016
Asked By:jennuin7 in Tampa, FL

I have neurocardiogenic syncope and have had a Medtronic pacemaker implant for 1 yr. I have had no other heart problems before and my doctor assured me this disorder is due to genetic anomalies and my environment.My pacemaker only comes on when I need it (typically I have a low resting heart rate and it drops when I'm in extreme heat or standing for a long time) and brings my heart rate back to around 100 so that I don't pass out.Can I have micro needling performed by a medical esthetitican?
