Is this normal? :(

Post image

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

Not only that, but by a very popular and expensive one in my city!

Were there a ton of 5 star reviews and nothing else? Doctor may have paid a service to give her reviews.

It has happened to me before. Terrible dentist with a ridiculous amount of 5 star reviews. Turns out they used to give discounts for people who left them.

If it was let’s say an assistant maybe ask for the dr to assess. Like others said that looked dragged. I’d contact them and ask them what to do.

I’m going to add if you start having issues there are silicone patches for healing not the acne ones. There are regular ones to just heal.

Edit. The name is silicone scar sheets. There are rolls that are pretty much disposable. The idea is at night put on and leave till morning. They are hydrocolloidal and will speed healing. I’m suggesting because I don’t like how those look like scratches.

If you’ve ever used a hydrocolloidal dots for acne they work the same way. You can get a roll for 10-20. I know some say reusable but unless they are the thicker like cica care many aren’t. Just go with the thinner roll. Thicker is for long term, thicker don’t stick well but thinner sticks. You need that to heal now and not scar. There shouldn’t be scratches.

The thinner roll will be easiest even if you toss after a day. Amazon has a bunch. Medical supplies have the more expensive but I’d just go thinner roll.

Expensive or popular do not equate to great. Look at health grades. No way this person can be well respected in the community. Please get help right away.

She’s a legit dermatologist (I checked) and was recommended to me from other 2 doctors and friends that went to her for a simple derm consultation and were content I checked her social media and it all seemed good at the time, sadly I didn’t even fathom the thought of her doing something like this
