Hello doctors SkinPen rep recently advised on new protocol for acne scarring, which is to have patient needle every 2 weeks. We were using a 4 week protocol. The theory being it is to increase collagen production during the proliferative phase of wound healing. What are your expert opinions on this approach ?
I received a SkinPen treatment Fri morning. Sat morning I was unexpectedly needed for a sporting event. I woke up with some peeling that washed away with my gentle cleanser. Layered on 42 spf &50 spf CC cream. I wore a hat &didn't sweat much on my face but still was in the sun for longer than I would want. I am scared of the reprocussions. I washed&moisturizered as soon as I was home. Tomorrow I plan on staying indoors for most of the day. Do you think I caused hyperpigmentation etc??
I had Microneedling today. The skin pen to be exact. My forehead and under eyes are extremely raw. Almost looks like they could bleed. This reaction is way more severe than a sunburn. I also have the chills, vomiting and ringing in the ears. Has this ever happened? They told me my skin would be normal looking in 24 hour. I had the treatment at 10:30 this morning.
I had a skinpen treatment on Thursday night. Friday I had a bit of swelling and redness but not much. Saturday I had more redness and swelling and a burning tingling sensation in my skin. I had a hard time sleeping with the tingling, stinging, burning sensation going on and this morning (Sunday it is even worse). I tried Benadryl but it made no difference.
How many, how often and how deep would I have to do skinpen microneedling to see at least a 70% improvement in these scars? Is PRP better under the skin with microneedling or topically? I'm a 38 year old man in great physical shape.
I am 40 F. I wish I could get chin lipo or a facelift but I cant because I dont have anyone to care for me during recovery or for my child. I would be too embarrassed to ask family or friends. I was told Morpheus 8 was a bad idea for double chin and jaw line and that I should do skin pen w prp. I love the office they have done amazing so far for me. Filler/dysport. Will skin pen help my jaw? I do have acne scars and hope it will help that too. 3 treatments I was quoted for 1600
I am scheduled for 1st skinpen microneedling treatment a few questions 1) I tend to get hypertrophic scars. Should I not get skinpen or should the treatment be modified somehow? 2) will skinpen help resolve sleep wrinkles if I get the recommended 3 treatments and follow good skincare routine consistently? 3) does skinpen lift skin as a result of the increased collagen and elasticity? Id like to see some uplift around the corners of my mouth which are turning down due to laxity.
