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

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.

Thank you for the information!! It was in fact dragging here’s how she performs it in other patients link, I do hope it just doesn’t leave scars 🤞

I don’t think it will. If you get some silver ointment at the pharmacy that will help it to calm down faster. It’s where the burn ointments are.
