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

Needling can be done on scars regardless of what's under unless the pacemaker is in the depth of the needles.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I recommend you be evaluated by your cardiologist. In stressful situations, your heart rate can rise above normal, so I would prefer you have clearance prior to any cosmetic procedure. As for true contraindications to micro-needling-having a pacemaker is not one of them.I hope this helps you.#microneedling #pacemaker #sycope

Hello and thank you for your question. As long as you have medical clearance from your cardiologist, microneedling is an excellent choice to help diminish scars. Hope this helps.
