Microneedling is safe and successful for all skin types and tones, on both young and old skin alike. Although certain skin treatments pose a risk of hyperpigmentation to certain skin types, that is not the case with this microneedling treatment.
However, there are some patients who should avoid microneedling: women who are pregnant or nursing, people with open wounds or current skin infection, people who take blood thinners, people who have a demonstrated history of excessive scarring or poor skin healing and anyone who has undergone radiation in the past year.
