Is microneedling with PRP safe to perform on active acne?

December 19, 2016
Asked By:jennygao23 in Little York, IN

I am getting a session of microneedling with prp while I still have active hormonal acne on my jaw line. My aesthetician told me the plasma would help heal my active acne therefore it would be safe to perform. I thought it's best to perform the procedure after my active acne heals so I won't spread bacteria around my face. Please advise, thank you.
