I don't recommend performing microneedling on yourself. These procedures should be done by an expert. I always combine microneedling with prp and laser treatments to get the best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In addition to Botox, fillers, lasers and microneedling/prp can all improve forehead wrinkles. For the tummy tuck scar, I recommend a combination of lasers and microneedling/prp. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Microneedling won't cause permanent skin dryness. However, I do recommend following up with your Dr. about skin care. I also always add prp and lasers to microneedling treatments for best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
