30/F Had Skinpen MN at 0.25 depth with prf 3 months ago around eyes and cheeks. I now have enlarged pores and track marks around cheeks and eyes, and patches of skin that look leathery/bumpy/ crepey. Some of the leathery patches have a silvery sheen like scar tissue. Can anyone explain what could have caused this/ what kind of damage this is? Anyone know how to heal this and what do you recommend? Please no needling, light/energy/laser, or filler suggestions. Too risky.
Ive received microneedling from a spa where I get facials. The esthetician uses Dr. Pen. I feel I look worse than before. I have more lines, I see more pores and sagging than before. I know this is not the same quality as Skinpen, but is it possible to look worse? Thank you
Thoughts on the use of topical Sculptra (not injections!) as an add-on skin treatment in microneedling treatments? I have rolling scars, dilated pores, icepick scars, and the beginning of fine lines and laxity. Could topical Sculptra post-microneedling work as a fertilizer to plump up mild areas of volume loss and give an overall firmer appearance to the skin? Is there a risk of nodules and granulomas when Sculptra is applied topically and not injected? Thanks!
I recently had microneedling done on my face and loves the results. Prior to my microneedling I had very large pores however they are barely noticeable now. I am worried that after a few months they will go back to how they were prior to microneedling. Is there anyway to permanently shrink pores?
I'm considering doing either an RF facial or microneedling (regular - no RF or PRP) for skin tightening but would also like to know which one would be better for reducing the size of my pores. I speculate it's microneedling but an expert opinion would be appreciated. TIA!
Nose never stop crumbling, especially on my nose. Have seen over 5 dermatologist but not getting anywhere. Was told I have seborrheic and rosacea but my face doesn't respond to treatments; doxy, finacea, nizoral, plant stem cell moisturisers. etc. All oil free moisturisers seem to exasperate it. My nose pores are now scarred/joined. Is there any home of improving my nose texture, I understand not while I am flaring. What do you think could be going on? The texture is getting really bad. I use a gentle soap free cleanser.
I am a 38 year old female who is on accutane for 5 months already. I noticed that my pores are getting larger and larger compared to before taking accutane. People can totally see my pores from a distance and it has not happen before. I even notice people staring frequently at my nose especially under certain lighting. Should I stop the accutane? I had mild acne but was prescribed 25mg accutane.
I have main concern is with my open pores, I'm treating my acne but I want to know if micro-needling can be done on acne or after acne cleared up? Does it work on open pores? How long does it take to work? Alone micro-needling work effectively?
