Terrible Acne Post Morpheus 8

Morpheus 8, the micro needling treatment pretty much every Aestetic doctor/ aesthetician recommend. I’ve had two out of three recommended treatments and both times I’ve had terrible acne afterwards. First time, it took about two weeks to clear. When I went in for my second treatment, my practitioner suggested it was my skincare products that were the problem and she advised me to get the Obagi hydrating cream instead…. Which I did. (Love Obagi products) Absolutely no change. I’m now on day 7 post treatment and I’m still covered in spots. They’ve come down a lot but my face still looks pretty bad. I normally have good skin so everybody is puzzled to what happened. Morpheus 8 happened.
I’m going to cancel my third treatment as clearly this treatment is not suitable for my skin.
I went to a reputable clinic so I would not blame the practitioner.
Besides, the treatment is excruciating. My leg was twitching with my face.
I have not seen any improvement in firmness as of now.

you have to use clean pillowcase, do not touch your face without washing your hands. if you need to scratch an itch, use a tissue or Qtip. Do this for the first 3-4 days .
I didn’t touch my face. Had clean bedding and had switched my skin care to the recommended. This made no difference. This treatment was just too aggressive for my skin.
Acne breakouts are common with this treatment I see it a lot at the med spa I work at
Yes, I got some acne also, I just meant to reduce the amount that is what I did.
