Risks and complications of microneedling

Although microneedling is a safe method, like any other beauty method, it has side effects as follows.

Inflammation and redness of the skin

This happens mostly in people with sensitive and irritable skin. Microneedling by damaging the superficial part of the skin causes irritation of the deep part of the skin, and hence we see redness and inflammation due to the damage and accumulation of blood in the damaged area. Depending on the type of skin, this condition will remain on your skin for a few hours to a few days. You can use the creams recommended by the microneedling specialist to fix and reduce this complication of microneedling. One of the tips that will help your skin heal as quickly as possible is to perform microneedling at the end of the day and before going to bed, which makes the skin regenerate faster during rest.

skin dryness

This complication usually occurs in most people. One of the most important causes of skin dryness after microneedling is incorrect needle selection. Based on the type of skin problem (whether it is a pimple or wound, etc.), the right needle should be used, otherwise it will cause skin dryness. Another reason is to use alcohol and skin cleansers before microneedling, which can cause skin dryness by causing sensitivity or being incompatible with your skin. It is recommended to use a moisturizing cream to prevent the side effects of microneedling after it is done to maintain the fat and moisture of the skin.

Creating pigmentation

Pigmentation is actually the darkening of the skin. This complication occurs when very fine needles are used (a fine needle increases the pressure on the skin) and the skin is immediately exposed to the sun. Of course, this case is very rare and can be prevented by using appropriate sunscreens.

Create a stain

Before doing microneedling, make sure that you don’t have pimples or active acne, because otherwise, it will increase the level of pollution and cause blemishes.

Scratches and bleeding

This complication is caused during microneedling and it is done to increase collagen production and increase the absorption of growth factors in the blood, and within a few minutes after the end of the work, the bleeding will stop and the scratches will heal after a few days.
