Am I a candidate for the Micro- Needling?

 

Micro-needling can be safely performed on all skin types and all skin colors. As the epidermis and in particular, melanocytes in the basal area are left intact. There is minimal risk of pigment change or post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Skin micro-needling can treat sensitive and fragile areas that are difficult to treat with other procedures. These areas include the eyes, the neck and the back of the hands.

However, it is not suitable for patients who:
-Have used Accutane (isotretinoin) within the last three months
-Have open wounds, cuts or abrasions on the skin
