She was fabulous! Numbing cream applied. Talked with me about my areas of concern and how aggressive those areas would be treated. Did in office Visia pictures to track progress. Total time in office was an hour. She was very professional and personable as you would expect at a medical facility. I would not attempt any treatment, even for less money, at a day spa facility. Pharmaceutical grade skin products, Elta MD, were included for cleansing and sun protection.

Looks great! I think I'm sold. Thank you
looks great. Can you post another update from your second treatment
Yes great results after 5 weeks. :) It will help people like us if you change your "Not sure" review to "Worth it". Depth and length of your nasolabial fold had been decreased a lot or its just lighting and angle ? it will be really helpful if you take the photo from same angle and lighting.
I had 3 micro needling treatments. I'm a believer. You will notice each time your skin reacts less because it is so much stronger. The last time I was red for 4 hours, then nothing. My esthestician said she now has to be super agressive to even get my skin to react.
ORIGINAL POST

Had needling procedure at my dermatologist office...

Had needling procedure at my dermatologist office (well known and reputable) with the Eclipse Micro pen. Just now over 48 hours out. My face was VERY bright red and appeared to have serious sunburn following procedure. You could return to work but I wouldn't have. I did it Saturday morning and went home, stayed out of sun, no makeup for the day and just let my skin breath and begin its healing. Looked much better at 30 hours out. Mild pink. Today, at 60 hours out I am slight pink, starting to peel at the most aggressively treated sites, and needing frequent moisturizer. Otherwise, my skin feels soft and my pores on my forehead are MUCH smaller. Still to early to tell so I will update but so far I am pleased with early results. Crossing fingers! The logic behind it certainly makes sense. We shall see.

I am so glad that you decided to share your journey - I look forward to your updates. Are you scheduled to have multiple treatments?

Thank you! I only had the one treatment but a week out and I am considering a second treatment to maximize results. I have not decided on that yet.
Do you know what needle depth was used?
She varied the depth in areas that I wanted treated more aggressive. I believe she used 1.5 to at least 2.0. I'm very pleased at just one week out. Skin is back to normal and all peeling and pink color gone. My pores are significantly smaller to invisible in some areas. I'm monitoring progress on a forehead frown line that also seems to have improved.
Im looking forward to your progress as I will be getting it done in a month. How was the pain level?
Zero pain. Numbing cream was used. No pain afterward either. I'm strongly considering a second treatment soon to maximize results then annually going forward. Will wait a couple more weeks before I decide
How does your skin look now, since it's been a while since your treatment?
My skin is more even in tone and texture is smoother. My biggest difference is pore size. I'm still pleased and actually scheduled for a second treatment next Saturday. I will ask for a new Visia picture at that time to see if the results I believe I see are confirmed!
I had it done and I have a high pain tolerance and I must say the pain was tremendous.
