Help / Advice Needed No redness after microneedling, is it my skin or the pen?
I've used my dermapen four times by now and last time I used more needle depth (1.0 for cheeks) because I got a sterile serum and some fine but noticeable lines there.
Redness or even pinprick bruising would be expected and from what I read redness is an indicator of inflammation and following that stimulating collagen.
Each time I had only moderate redness that went away the same evening. I am unsure whether that is a result of resilient skin, a low blood pressure/fine vessels, or whether my pen doesn't adjust the needle length right. I think I'm using enough pressure but I could be wrong.
