As long as you consult a provider who is very experienced and who properly understands the anatomy, this should not happen. After treatment, you may experience some side effects of microneedling, such as redness, peeling, dry skin, and peeling. However, these side effects are common after the procedure and should not be a cause for alarm. However, you should call your doctor right away if you notice more serious side effects, such as bruising, excessive bleeding, persistent skin irritation, or permanent numbness or pain in the nerves.
Most cleaned devices are pen-shaped, motorized and penetrate the skin to change the structure or function of the tissue underneath. Because these devices can reach nerves, blood vessels and other parts of the skin, the FDA recommends that you see a healthcare provider who specializes in microneedling. Nerve injury is a rare, but possible, risk of using microneedling, which usually occurs when the procedure is extremely deep or intense. The risks associated with microneedling are not only superficial, but they can cause serious conditions, such as dermatitis granulomatous, and even tumor formation.
In my years working with the skin and listening to countless testimonies from people who have suffered due to poorly executed microneedling treatments, it is clear that microneedling is not a procedure to be taken lightly. The depth of the needle can range from 0.25 mm to 3 mm, depending on the device. It is necessary to understand the anatomy of the treatment area to determine the safety of the needle depth.
