Microneedling with closed comedones?

March 29, 2016
Asked By:bebemona in Waterloo, ON

I know that you can't microneedle with acne present but what about black heads and closed comedones? I've been wanting the treatment but wanted to get rid of my closed comedones first, however that's taking a long time to slowly go away. And I don't want to keep waiting. I don't have any acne just closed comedones, can I still get microneedle on the area with closed comedones?

Davin Lim, MBBS, FACD - Account Suspended says:

The skin on the upper eyelid is super thin and fragile. One can get away with a micro needle that is .25 mm stamping technique, but this is not ideal. Fractional CO2 will give you a much better result, but also safer. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser DermatologistBrisbane, Australia.

Tracy Leong, MD says:

Thank you for your question. Without an evaluation in person, it is difficult to say exactly what you would need to achieve the results you are hoping for. A series of microneedling treatments can help improve fine lines, skin texture, and sun damage but you may also want to combine...
