I got stretch marks from having a baby last year. They werent bad, but I went to a professional for microneedling to see if it would make them go away. My third and so far last treatment was in November of 2018, its now March 2019 and Im still red in the areas she did. I developed a rash in the areas she did about 2 weeks after the second treating. The rash itself went away but I was left with redness. The redness isnt as bad but its still there. Why? What can I do? Permanent!?
Many post-microneedling care instructions suggest using a gentle cleanser and mineral sunscreen from the second day onward. My question is, should I use a makeup remover to remove sunscreen? If so, what kind/brand of makeup remover is gentle enough for use after the procedure? Thank you.
I had three sessions of microneedling done at local skin clinic.Now its been more than a year and my face is still red. during micro needling sessions , they avoided my eye area. so now my whole face is red , except the eye area . Everyone comments on my mismatched skin tone.I followed their aftercare advise , I avoided harsh chemicals , used sunscreen . what are my options , kindly advise.
I got microneedling done yesterday and it was pretty red like a sunburn and then this morning when I woke up- my entire face is full of bumps and my face is all itchy. Is this normal and will the bumps go away? Ps- some of the bumps had white stuff on it- not acne Whitehead. Also I had no active acne on my skin before the treatment. How many days till it goes away on its own? Anything I can use to help with the itchiness??
1. Should I do microneedling or stop Tretinoin for 3-5 days prior to microneedling? 2. Can I put tretinoin 0.1% on face then do microneedling 1mm? 3. After microneedling, what can I put on my face? Can I still use tretinoin and vitamin C later on that night? 4. Does PRP for the face contain platelet poor plasma and platelet rich plasma or only platelet rich plasma? What is your method? Thank you in advance!
Im 38 Asian female with acne scars and underwent SkinPen microneedling with PRP (1.5mm) 4 weeks ago with a reputable dermatologist. I attached pictures taken on Day 4 and Day 34 showing no change. Should I be expecting at least some visible result or result is only visible after 3 treatments? I plan to have round 2 on Day 36 (5-weeks interval). I applied a lot of moisturizer and stay out of sun for the first 3 days. Is there any pre or post care product I should use to enhance the result?
I received PRP microneedling with 2.0 mm on Friday at 6pm. I received SOME post care instructions but only regarding 24 hrs after. On Saturday night I lightly and fatally washed my face with my murad vitamin C cleanser and reapplied aquaphor and vitamin E oil capsules. Then on Sunday noon, I attempted to again wash my face and I noticed all my skin rubbing off ! I freaked out and tried to just get rolled dead skin off my face. Now I have two tones of skin and raw patches.
I read that using human growth factor serum, hyaluronic acid serum and retinol/retinoid post micro-needling can help with healing and stimulate growth. Do experts here have brands to recommend (esp. on Human Growth Factor serum) that I can buy online or over phone? My dermatologists office doesnt sell these and I want to use something more than my regular moisturizer after microneedling.
