I have just completed the second round of a microneedling treatment - five days out and the redness and such is all gone, but I look shockingly much older and more wrinkled. I am frankly pretty worried. My husband is even disturbed. If for some reason my skin responses so negatively to such a treatment, with wrinkles and lines worsening rather than improving, what are my options to get back to where I was?

Answer: Looking worse after microneedling You should not expect to look worse after microneedling. It is normal, after most treatments, to be a little pink and possibly slight swollen for up to 24 hours, Your complaint of looking older and more wrinkled is probably due to dry skin, and should recover quickly. Optional moisturizers post-procedure: Epionce recovery kit or Epionce intensive nourishing cream, and Epionce milky lotion cleanse

Answer: Microneedling Microneedling should NOT make your lines or wrinkles worse. It takes a series of treatments to get the best results so I recommend giving it some time. You definitely should not have significantly aged only 5 days post treatment. I recommend you keep the area well moisturizer and sun protected and give it some time and things will look better. I think some of those wrinkles are likely scaling from the procedure. Hang in there!
