Specifically: For a treatment of non-RF-microneedling, with application of a serum after treatment. I am 25, F, white, with sensitive skin, seeking treatment for mild to moderate rolling acne scars, enlarged pores, and general post-acne texture improvement. I previously had 5 fraxel treatments which did yield improvement and 1 microneedling treatment (no serums) which I tolerated well. I have been recommended to get 3 microneedling treatments. Pics have makeup but show texture reasonably well.
I have senisitive skin. This would be my third session of microneedling that Ive got done . The two times I got it , it was just red and healed in 2 days. But this time it looks scabby, bruised up , super tight . Did she damage my skin?? Will it heal up nicely ?? Will it permanently leave scars. ? What can I use to make it heal faster ? Im on day 3. Todays monday, Ive got it done Friday morning .
Is this procedure contraindicated for someone who might have extremely fair, sensitive skin, post accutane with some scarring and sun damage? I do not want to have a procedure that could further damage, or injure my skin. Can the heat generated do that to the skin? Also, is not the collagen formation permanent? I read somewhere that it is temporary, and micro needling needs to be done often to maintain the collagen formation.
Please someone help me understand what is going on. Those dark marks are bruises according to my esthetician and the redness is just taking time to heal because I have ultra sensitive skin. I am just so distraught and upset and am crying every day because of what has happened to me. Before this I had some scars but nothing this visible and extreme. I am a mess and am afraid this is all permanent damage. I am desperate for answers.
