Microneedling Destroyed my Skin... Dr. Did Not Care and Said It Was Because of my Acne Scars That Caused It.

$1,300
I have got 6 microneedling treatments with in one year by a esthetician in the doctors office, and they were spaced about a couple months apart. I first noticed track marks on my face and thought that they would eventually go way and they didn’t. It was not until my last microneedling treatment that I started to really pay attention to the changes in my face. I had pitted acne scars but I did not have any fine lines on my face. I now have large pores and fine lines going down my cheeks. I also have Crepey skin on the lower half of my cheeks and have lost a substantial amount of fat under my eyes. I talked with the esthetician multiple times about my concerns and she kept saying microneedling did not cause it. I came in and spoke with the doctor and he completely belittled me and told me there was no way that microneedling caused this. I told him the esthetician said the needle might be broken but she continued with the procedure. After I shared this information with Dr. Eberbach, he told me to stop talking about Joyelle, the esthetician like that and get to the point. He was so rude and careless. He also had the receptionist in there writing down what I was saying.

I’m so sorry to hear what you have gone through. I and many other sufferers have got the same effects from microneedling! It’s been 9 months and my skin is a mess that requires a lot of looking after. Please inbox me and join our group. There must be something to stop this evil treatments and heo A us resolve the problem. I believe our faces have been scarred and the skin barrier damaged. Fat lost is another issues but not one professional will admit it. It’s sickening really!
I have a Microneedling treatment scheduled for Friday with an extremely reputable esthetician at a Facial Plastic Surgery Center. My skin is in desperate need of help after being very sick for 6 months. I really hope this doesn't happen to me. I am so sorry for your situation.
Same thing happened to me. I feel like in 5 years from now eventually doctors will realize this type of damage is possible but for now we are part of a tiny % this happens too. But it does happen. Sorry ur going thru this I know exactly how you feel it’s changed my life and I’m spending 1000s and 1000s to try and save my skin.
Me too. Exact same thing.
You both need to see an attorney.
