Got my face microneedled with dermapen And I have broken capillaries very concerned. (photo)

Question

Looks like I got beat up. It's like I have bruising all over my face. Well these go away on their own? How long will they be there for? How long will it take for them to go away? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process of healing them? They're very unsightly.

Thank you @cameron28788. This is a very normal and expected appearance after having an aggressive treatment. Staying away from the sun, vigorous exercise, and hot saunas or steam rooms will help. Keeping your skin moisturized with aquaphor or Revitatrol by ZO can be very calming. I hope this helps, hang in there you're going to look great!#microneedling   #healingtime  #brokencapillaries

Hello Cameron28788,No need to worry, this is a completely normal response. Doing your Micro-needling with PRP usually speeds up the healing. Each patient heals differently but average healing time is 3-5 days.You can use use ZO Medical Revitatrol- Revitatrol delivers essential hydration and calming for post-procedure, compromised and severely dry or irritated skin. Rich hydrators replenish lipids and restore skin’s barrier while reducing the appearance of redness. It is also very important to protect your skin from the sun.I am positive you will be very happy with your results!Best, Dr Faraz

Neda Vanden Bosch, MD · Answer

Looks like you had an aggressive treatment. This usually means better results, as long as you practice sun avoidance until redness subsides. In your next treatment ask for growth factors such as Biopell's to be applied topically after treatment. This will significantly decrease downtime and improve your results. Best of luck!
