I’m a 31 year old man! I have had severe acne breakouts for many years, and still have some breakout, but not that bad. (Can be clear for many weeks or months).
After the use of benzoyl peroxide for 8 months, my skin got worse. Not acne wise but my skin aged rapidly and got more saggy and tired! (6 years ago)!
After living with a really bad skin with scars and being tired of that I gave Dermapen (with PRP) a go! I have wanted to do something for a long time!
A week after treatment, I suddently see that I have formed a new line. Several places but especially here (as seen in the photo).
It’s the line over the big smiling line (the smiling line came after the use of BP). You can see a smaller line over the big one! Forming some kind of a V shape! I didn’t have any line here from before!! It’s proabably the result of the pores or something!
The only positive thing was that it made my skin tone more even.. but that’s not worth it!!
If you have anywhere near skin like mine.. or anyway, never do the dermapen! I regret it so much!! Never again!
No I have to pay even more to do other treatments to get rid of all that it did to my skin.. on top of the issues that is already there...!
If anyone have any suggestions to what I can do to make my skin better and fix the mistakes, that is safe and effective, please let me know!

So sorry what happened to you “ bluecoffe” . I had the same bad results from Skinpen ( another version of Dermapen) . Beside the horrible holes and lines from the pen device, my main damage has been the facial fat loss caused by the treatment. I had to have a Full Facial Fat Transfer around 2 months ago and it did fix the fat loss issues; however, the holes / tracks are still there. I am thinking in getting a peel in a few months to see if it can be improved. Also, I am going to add to my daily skin care a product for large pores. I hope it helps... Please keep us posted ! Thanks !

Im sorry this happened to you but it sounds like you try the needling maybe before you should have since you said your skin was already looking really bad from 8 months use of benzoyl peroxide. I don't think you could blame it all on just one treatment of needling

Also you mentioned it's only been one week since you had the needling done. It takes up to 3 weeks to a month to notice any Improvement and up to two years

Believe me, you can see " the bad results" right away...

Now it is around 3 months ago.. and it is the same.. if not worse! And the BP I used is 5 years ago.. yes it ruined my skin! But since it is so long ago my skin has slightly improved, so I thought it would be ok to do the dermapen! There is also a lot of people here that has experienced the same.. so I don’t think the earlier use of BP is the reason! But yes.. it might have a little to do with it! The Dermapen makes the pores and scars like straight lines instead of round! and if you have a lot of it they join together and make lines so you get more wrinkles! Dermapen might work for people with tired skin, but not scars and pores... I will never recommed it or do it again! never!!

Hi as many of us here your damage is similar to ours . I’ve noticed your location. Would you mind sharing with me where you had this treatment done?
