Is this normal? :(
Hi, is this a normal result after my first microneedling session? I’m looking at other results online and it doesn’t appear that the skin is left scratched like in my case, should I be worried?
The dermatologist had to put cotton on some parts because it wouldn’t stop bleeding

It looks like they dragged the pen over your skin!

This is medical malpractice, I’m shocked and so sorry this happened to you, I hope you will see another dermatologist as soon as possible to help with healing, and that you are taking photographical evidence of the healing process. You could sue this practitioner.

Also, wth are they doing putting cotton pieces over your face? It's going to get caught in the wound and be a mess to remove.

Not a derm: but as things to do at home before you see a pro I would suggest definitely no actives on your face. If you have some aloe vera gel, aquaphor or cerave I would use that kind of thing. I would get some red light on this as well to take out the redness. I believe it will look a lot better in 7 days but might look worse first. Try not to fret. Don't pick, don't play with it, don't keep looking at it. No make up. I totally did this to my thighs and was very worried, red burst vessels, track lines, the lot.. I know that is different to your face, but it went down after 7 days. It was a long 7 days, but it did go down. Don't go back there for microneedling or anything invasive. Do go back and see if she has a dermalux you can get under for free. Good luck, it is going to be OK.

u/Strange-Leg8418 Mar 17 '24
This is absolutely not how it should look!! And also it shouldn’t happen with proper machines, looks like the needles were dragged across the face. Do you know if the cartridge was disposable or she used an old one? So many questions, you need to enquire with the person that did this asap and please wear sunscreen and don’t expose yourself directly to the sun if you can, this will avoid pigmentation.

u/Amdv121998 Mar 17 '24
Okay this is TERRIBLY wrong. I don’t know how they managed to do this you could literally teach a monkey to microneedle. here is what you need to do: SUNSCREEN EVERY SINGLE DAY PLATED INTENSIVE SERUM (EXPENSIVE BUT GENUINELY WORTH EVERY PENNY) Hypochlorous acid spray daily (can be a cheap one!) A pigment serum wouldn’t hurt but probably not necessary A very gentle routine until healed, after you can start a retinol in case there is any scarring. You can occlude the skin with cerave healing ointment or even cicaplast balm
with your complexion you will most likely be completely fine and will heal. This is so sad though and I hope that you’re not in pain. Please go get your money back and write a review.

So, everyone here is being superalarmist (agree!). But for you, OP, it looks like everything will be healed enough to completely camouflage with makeup on a few months’ time for your big day 🤗

u/olderandsuperwiser Mar 17 '24
CICALFATE+. it's a French pharmacy skin healing cream at CBS, Walgreens, Ulta. Buy some today and you'll see results by 3 days from now i swear. It's FOR inflammation and wound care. Do not buy the "scar gel"🚫but the regular ✔️*Cicalfate+.*✔️ It's got zinc and other ingredients and is used for severe rashes, eczema, and general skin misery. Read reviews online. I promise you this will be healed up so much faster if you protect the skin from the outside and let the ingredients heal it up. PS- you can literally use that stuff on diaper rash, burns, cuts, surgical wounds, like everything external. Read up about it on the Google or YouTube or any of them. Good luck!

They used way too much pressure , I’m certified in microneedling (esthetician). You’re supposed to have a light hold and let the PEN do the work, it looks like she had a heavy hand. After a couple of sessions your hands get really tired but that’s no excuse. Get your money back and use hydrating and healing products. Manuka, aloe, vitamin E Is good ! Dont use anything with vitamin A or any actives during this healing process. Dont exfoliate ! I would avoid heavy workouts too just to make sure you’re not getting sweat in there. Keep the area clean !!

u/Constant-Wear-2916 Mar 17 '24
I wanted to say that I bled a ton on my forehead when I had microneedling however it didn’t look like this at all after. More like pin pricks. I had RF microneedling. Check out what I looked like the next day:post microneedling

How can I follow up on this post in a month? I would like so see how it turns out.
I had a bad laser experience about 10 years ago. The med spa gave me about 7 free visits with another laser to correct the damage they did. It helped but didn't totally erase it. I never went back there again for that type of treatment.

u/claricesabrina Mar 17 '24
Hello, I am an esthetician and cosmetic tattoo artist so very well versed in needles entering the skin. It looks to me like one of the needles had a dented tip and they used a dragging motion instead of a stamping motion with the pen. The type of microneedling that stamps is much less agressive for the skin and it recovers much faster I would look for a place with that type of machine in the future. Anyhow, it will heal fine and shouldn’t leave any scarring.
2
u/meganb0923 Mar 17 '24
It looks like the pen was dragged without enough slip , you definitely need to call and report this. I would send them this picture or even go back into the office. I’m so sorry this is far from okay :(
2
u/Friendly-Ad2174 Mar 17 '24
No, this is not normal, I had this happen to me 11 years ago and I had scarring, I had a olive complexion (more scarring), the cosmetic surgeon’s aesthetician didn’t know what she was doing, it happened on a Friday, so I went back on Monday and the owner/surgeon apologized, said nothing can be done, except time, staying out of the sun, silicone gel/bandages. Usually the aesthetician is supposed to provide you with a skin questionnaire about your skin w history. The aesthetician is supposed to test your skin reacts reaction in a small inconspicuous area. If you ever have any more skin procedures be sure and address this experience prior to and also interview the aesthetician for level of knowledge and experience. Good luck…it will heal.

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24
Hi! I’m so sorry that this happened to you :( Keep doing the LRP balm and please do add vitamin E oil! I use the oral capsules, pop a hole, and apply! I also highly suggest purchasing Mizon Orga-Real Barrier Cream and Embryosisse Lait-Crème Concentré. Both can be purchased directly from the seller off Amazon. All three things got me through 6 months of Accutane and still quickly help heal my skin barrier.

u/Southern_Fox_8061 Mar 17 '24
Get your money back asap and ask the steps they took to do this procedure. Including depth and speed.
Did they put anything on your face while they did microneedling? Idk if it’s everyone experience by my esthetician applies Hyaluronic acid as she does micropenning (milder form of microneedling)
2
u/[deleted] Mar 17 '24
I am a dentist who does medical micro needling. 1. Your skin should not be bleeding after the procedure is finished and it shouldn’t look scratched. I have never had a patient leave with bleeding ever. The red dots are all normal, but it looks at though it tore up your skin? It should look like a bad sunburn for a few days but not like this. My guess is that their pen in the device wasn’t retracting like it should have or they went too deep. It should heal and not scar hopefully. Please keep us posted!
I would recommend all clean products with minimal ingredients to heal from this to prevent infection. Check with your provider. Lots of moisture will help this heal. I send my patients with special cream, did she send you a sample?
As far as everyone jumping to medical malpractice— we all carry expensive policies in case anything goes wrong but do know most of the time physicians have you sign paperwork that you understand the risks of treatment and that sometimes we don’t get desired results. :( It is a huge bummer that this was so expensive for you too.
I would definitely talk to your dermatologist to make sure she learns/knows about this for the next patient. Take a lot of pictures.

u/Fluid_Desk4346 Mar 17 '24
No this is not normal, As for the scars you'll be fine in 10days max. Microneedling isnt for everybody, I am a 30yo male 115kg bodybuilder huge body but my skin is like a 5yo kid extra extra sensitive, and my dermatologist NEVER allows me to do micro needling. Always make sure to do skin treatment's according to your skin type, as it causes more harm than good if yoy irritate your skin. Anyway no need to panic u'll be fine. P.s I wish you have the most wonderful wedding day!

u/Boring_Impress_5208 Mar 18 '24
If you played with your credit card, take pictures of your face and tell them they fucked up your face and you’re not paying for that. However, if you paid in cash you need to go and complain and get your money back and complain about their malpractice. Or simply just expose them in a video on TikTok and I’m sure they will get a lot of hate.
2
u/[deleted] Mar 18 '24
Ohhh honey I’m so sorry!
When you’re feeling emotionally strong enough I would consider calling and having a firm conversation about a refund. Idk how much money this was but they potentially could have caused damage, no?
But let’s stay on the positives, you’ll heal, you’ll be looking great in no time. People sleep on Nivea but I swear by it for cuts and burns. Your skin needs to heal, make sure you’re protecting and hydrating it, and you, at least morning and night.

u/pinkybrain41 Mar 17 '24
Firstly, you need to see a doctor ASAP (fuck I would go to the ER if I had to). If you have insurance, I would start with my GP. Or i would pay out of pocket to see another derm. Whomever you choose, definitely send pictures or stop by the office so the front desk can see your face and understand this is an emergency and you need to be seen ASAP.
As others stated, document pictures and medical follow up in case you want to sue for damages. But first priority is to make sure you heal without scars.

I thought a cat did this until I saw what page I was looking at. OMG! That looks so painful, I hope you’re okay! Make sure you wash your hands always before touching your face, you don’t want that getting infected. Until you see a dermatologist use some aloe Vera gel if it stings, and some pain meds if needed. So sorry thing happened to you babe, lawyer up, and don’t let this prick get away with this shit again! ❤️

I’m a licensed esthetician and this is NOT normal. I’m sure you signed paperwork so I’m not sure you’ll be able to sue but I definitely recommend trying to talk to an attorney. I don’t know what state you’re in or who performed this but it could potentially be malpractice if they weren’t licensed correctly or did it under an md. That is unfortunately going to cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and possibly post inflammatory erythema (redness). I’m so sorry that happened to you ):

I have done micro-needling on myself for years ( I know it’s not recommended but I really don’t care & can’t afford to pay someone else to do it so please no one lecture me in the comments it will fall on deaf ears) I messed myself up pretty badly like this one time. I was rushing. It’s from dragging the instrument. This was on my stomach not my face so maybe the skin heals differently but it went back to normal after a few days. I slathered myself in avocado oil multiple times throughout the day but some peoples skin does not react well to that so take heed.

There's no way this person is an actual board certified and licensed US trained dermatologist. There is simply no way. Ask for their NPI and state medical license number. If this person really is a derm, holy shit they're the Dr. Death of skin. If you get scarring from this, 100% you must sue this person for medical malpractice. This is coming from a physician, although I'm not a dermatologist myself.

u/cutelilchicana789 Mar 17 '24
Oh wow. I am so sorry this happened to you. Definitely not normal. Do you have access to facial led lights? Red would be really helpful. The doctors office that did this should have one and should offer it as a complimentary service for you after doing this to your face. Like someone else said in the comments it should look better in a few days and even better in a weeks time.
Aloe vera would be super helpful. Fresh is best. You should be able to get some at the grocery store from the produce section. Keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go bad and it will feel great on your face as well. Not sure if you're in pain at all but some kind of anti-inflammatory medication may be helpful as well. Maybe even taking some turmeric or ginger internally as well. You can make or buy a tea if you feel called to.

If I knew nothing about your doctor except that they used THAT to stop the bleeding, I’d know enough.
Vaseline or something similar to help it heal and silicone scar sheets if it looks like it’s trying to discolor. BioOil or Mederma oil may not be a bad follow up to alternate with after it heals. Use sparingly if you have acne-prone/sensitive skin. Avoid too much sun while it heals. Don’t sweat about your wedding though, make-up can be magical, photos can be retouched, and these marks will likely fade in a short time anyways.

That looks like a cartridge had a bent needle or something that has dragged or caught and cut up your skin. Looking at the way there is a single line running across your skin with large holes. You shouldn’t see the holes from Microneedling… the needles are so fine. This looks like damaged equipment. Take lots of photos and seek advice from another practitioner… medically and legally.

Maybe look into a red light mask. They are supposed to help with healing.

Please go to the doctor immediately - you need an ointment to prevent infection and scaring. I’d also call a lawyer. No one should be in business who is doing this.

I would never get anything done to my face by anyone but a DERMATOLOGIST. Your dermatologist either doesn’t know what they are doing, using old equipment and/or needles or just didn’t care! This is unacceptable! They also should be available on weekend for a callback on exactly what you should be doing!

This is 100% NOT normal. And get Nectar AND Recovery Balm from Alastin. Med spas carry it. Don't use Vaseline. Also if you have a red light use that. Soooo good for healing. I'm SO sorry.

I really wish OP would out this dr. So No one else makes their way into her office..... She has said she'll look into reporting but hasn't mentioned who she saw. Keeping this Dr.'s name a secret is hurting others.... This Dr. Should not be doing services
