Microneedling is a safe procedure. However, some people may experience side effects after treatment. These may include bruising and temporary bleeding. Rarer side effects may consist of skin infection or scarring. There are things you can do to minimize side effects and post-treatment discomfort. We recommend applying an ice pack to the treatment area. You should also wear sunscreen and avoid excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks. This will help you prevent damage to your skin while it’s healing.
