Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Microneedling Damage

I did microneedling 5 weeks ago and ended up with damage :(
It has left me with open pores and orange peel texture, which I didn't have previously. She did 1.5mm on my cheeks and nose and 1.0mm for the rest of my face. I think she went too deep - I have attached some photos the clinician took just before and after (first two) as well as my pores now (last two). This is everywhere on my cheeks, nose and forehead. Warning! It's really bad.
There wasn't any peeling and the clinician reassured me that it will go away. However it has been 5 weeks and I'm worried that this is permanent.
I've mainly focused on moisturising and restoring my skin barrier but it hasn't helped much. My confidence has taken a hit and I'm afraid to leave my flat now.
Prior to this I had a very simple skincare routine (moisturiser and sunscreen) and was happy with my skin even though there were some minor acne scars. I really regret microneedling.
I do not recommend this at all.
