Hi, is the microneedling done with the pen/device or a dermaroller/dermastamp?

Here are the pictures of the micro needling damage.
I wanted to share this with everyone: This is a guide an apparently there is side affects. I am just so upset that there is lack of professional education on this.

Your pics don't show your forehead. I see the lower 2/3rds of your face. Just remember that your face doesn't instantly form new collagen. It takes time.

You didn't specify, was it the micro pen or roller. This photo doesn't show anything

I am 40 years old and had two microneedling...

I am 40 years old and had two microneedling treatment in two separate offices. One was with PRP and the other without. However, when the second treatment was done the fine lines in my forehead were more visible. So I panicked and had Dysport injections which corrected the fine lines but it cost was expensive. The provider was not aware of this side effect and stated it was not the microneedling that cause the fine lines but I know it was because it occurred within the week of the treatment. I read that thyroids or glycation may cause it? So would these wrinkles, be permanent? Will I have to now continue to spend money on disport every 4-5 months? it is amazing how so many people do not have awareness in regards to microneddling from the clients, to the providers. It appears it gets more praise than it should. In addition, the providers do not even have consent forms indicating the possible side affects. I am very concern with the long term affects. I am never going to get microneedling again!! SCARY PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!!! More education regarding this procedure should be shared !!!!!! Next month I am going to try the Fractional Laser resurfacing and I will post my results! WISH ME LUCK!

I had the same awful microneedling experience with just one treatment in January this year to close up some large pores on my cheek. The treatment did. The treatment did not include PRP. My once youthful looking smooth skin for late 40's now reveals more lines on my forehead, more lines and larger pores all over my face, more wrinkles around my eyes along with lax skin around eyes and cheeks. It's a nightmare seeing the damage done and having my dermatologist deny any connection despite this all happening after the dermapen procedure. I have been emotionally affected as well feeling sick to my stomach looking at these changes on my face everyday wishing I left well enough alone. I was given no warning signs at all and my dermatologist doesn't believe it's related. This procedure is given more credit for improving skin than it should.

Fractional laser,btw, is basically the same as microneedling! The laser BURNS columns in your skin to try and stimulate collegen production thru heat. If not done correctly or if done too deep it too can and will destroy your skin

Thank you for letting me know. I didn't go through with the Fractional Laser. I did get some fillers, some Radio Frequency and an Oxygen Facial... I am also taking collagen pills, vitamin C and Biotin.. There has been some slight improvements.. I think the lady that did the micro needling was neglectful. She was on the telephone and in a rush. I have made a complaint to the DBPR and they submitted my complaint to the Health Department. Thank you for letting me know about the Fractional Laser...

I wish you luck, but you know, results aren't overnight, and it's not unusual to get worse before it gets better. Anyway, good luck!

It's a waste of time and hard-earned money. I had six sessions (two master estheticians) from February through August of this year, and I have seen ZERO results. Lasering and dermal fillers are the only way to go if you can find a dr. who really knows both.
One thing he doesn't mention, but which professionals using single needling/dry needling only in lines and acne scars do point out:
Deep wrinkles and acne scars could look worse because the process is *working* if you use overall rolling/stamping instead of focusing on the indentation. Imagine a cheek with deep acne scars, being rolled all over. Clearly, the indentations may receive less needling than the surrounding healthy cheek. The latter will then build some new collagen, have slightly thicker skin. So how is the indentation going to look? Worse!
JBarrios, you've had a bad experience, but can you tell us whether only your lines were treated, to just build them, or the whole face?
I've been using microneedling for 5 years now, every time a perioral line appears or the nasolabial and perioral lines become too deep, but I treat *only* the wrinkles/indentations most of the time, with whole cheek far less often. Most of my little perioral lines, forehead lines and bunny lines treated individually with single needles, disappeared. I just have one 'deep dent' around one perioral line that is taking longer but also shallower through plenty of needling. Plus with age new little lines keep forming and need needling. But the process, done properly, can work.
