Thank you for this. I have rosacea and sensitive skin. Years ago, I had micro needling done once and it was a nightmare for me. My skin was peeling off and raw and painful for several weeks. I assumed this meant the procedure was not effective or not for me. Now reading the benefits of micro needling for fine lines and texture- im considering trying it again and this makes me feel like maybe my response wasn’t all that out of the norm as my technician believed it to be… dunno
I had the same experience with RF microneedling. I had three sessions. I didn't find the procedure too painful, neither the days after. But then all the super dry spots and acne. I've been on oral isotretinoin a while ago so getting the acne again was horrible. Also my skin now reacts way worse to even salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I had to put Elidel on my face to get it to calm down from all the dryness and reactions. I don't think I'd do it again. Still trying to get the acne under control again.
@@taysonkhaHello, Tayson. Thank you for warning people about what can happen with isotretinoin, especially if you get a micro needling session. I've heard that even having waxing sessions while using that medication can cause violent,painful reactions. Even more shocking was to find out that acne can come back after using isotretinoin !! Didn't know that could happen.
I have rosacea and the first time I did it I had a horrible reaction. At the time my face was inflamed pretty bad and rosacea was active. I got it done a week ago and decided to give it a go because my rosacea has been less inflamed lately. My skin was red a little after procedure and the next day woke up like nothing happened
Every month I’ve been micro needling religiously. I started 29 years ago dermarolling every month to 2 months. I follow up with a 30% glycolic peel one week prior to that. I’m 62 and my skin is almost flawless for my age. I also use retin A 1% now for 15 years. It does work when done continuously.
Hey.. I just got my microneedling with prp done about a week ago.. And a week later now, my skin has red to purple patches and it just won't go away. Is this normal and part of the process? I've tried everything and my whole face looks bruised now..
I did sylfirm RF microneedling and after 4 sessions in a span of 2 years my acne scars (dented) are 85% gone. Its expensive and painful but long term worth it. I was patient, followed their instructions and used a good skincare routine that involves hydration.
Acording to dermatology profesor who study microneedeling for ten years, you should do procedure once in three weeks and full results are visible after one year
I've had three sessions of co2 microneedling and laser treatment and within 6 months my skin looks better but it's never going to be flawless. Plus, the recovery isn't pleasurable at all. I don't know what hurt more, the procedure or the cost. Be prepared to spend 3k-4k.
Lol the cost of definitely painful!! Lol. I want to get it done at this really good dermatologist, but they don't take payment plans 😕 which is upsetting,, who has 3- 10k to dish out? It's not like I wouldn't be held accountable, if I didn't pay my credit, & LIFE, would go to shit! 😅 so idk why they don't ALL make that an option for us lower/ middle class people.
Schedule your treatment in Europe. Here in Barcelona (Spain), a Fraxel laser session coupled with IPL costs between 250 and 350€. RF and microneedling about the same. I do not get why laser treatments are so damn expensive in the US.
Exactly I’m in Qatar and not even paying close to what you spent. $800 for 5 session of Hollywood laser peels and another $800 for micro needling 3 sessions and another treatment which is my next appointment.
Thank you!!! I just did RF Microneedling and today is day 4 and I’m peeling, super red patches all over the face and dryness that feels like my skin is burning. I thought something went wrong. You answered every concerns I had. Thank you!!!
@@myglamour121 Sure. I have discoid lupus which means I have scarring across my entire face. Discoid lesions are very visible and I’ve had the scars since I was 5 (now almost 40). After 4 sessions of microneedling my doctor and I saw visible improvement. We did evo pen +trx acid over the discoid lesions. On the rest of the face just normal microneedling. There was an improvement in both texture of my skin overall and a blurring/fading effect where the outline of the scar meets my skin. I do not have any significant acne scars but because my skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, we opted to avoid any device that produces heat. Risk is not worth it, per my doctor. My advice would be to visit a derm, I don’t do med spas, and talk through your goals and they will come up with a plan with you. Best money I ever spent.
@@tasminazaman3674 No, honestly, it’s unlikely that you would have noticeable results after only 1 session. I think the minimum would be 3 but it depends on your skin goals and what is being treated.
Thank you so much for this… people aren’t very open about timelines and that can lead to people taking bad measures or doing things they didn’t need to do, simply because they think it isn’t working
Mine took 9 days for all the pin point marks to go away and 3 weeks for the sunburn feeling to go away. I have sensitive skin but I do notice a small difference in my skin texture after 4 weeks on my first treatment. Seeing everyone’s healing time online got me very worried because it took me awhile for my skin to feel normal again.
did you have to stay out of the sun more than normal to be able to heal? i have sensative skin too that burns easily because i am very pale so i have to stay out of the sun a lot already.
@@alexandrastrauser5538yes. I stayed out of the sun as much as possible and always wore mineral spf. I also tried to wear wide brim hats or use umbrellas. Since I paid so much for the treatment, I really wanted to protect my skin while it was healing
Hello Dr Idriss. I only recently started watching your videos and I am absolutely hooked. Thanks a lot! Also, I have a breastfeeding baby and need to start a 'pro-aging' skin routine. Can you please share some tips for it?
I did it twice and I wasn’t even red after.. my derm was so surprised.. after two weeks my skin was looking really refreshed but sure for longtime results you have to do it regularly and be patient.. on top you should also have skin care routine already
39? Wow I'd never have guessed that age! Good for you girl 😊 Plz give us the 411 on what you do skincare wise and have done procedure wise. (If comfortable disclosing that kind of personal info, ofc)
@@formgebenI agree, 39 years old, is definitely not old, wait till she’s in her mid 60’s and then come back and tell us what we should be doing, my skin has never looked so good for my age and I don’t need to use a filter on my face to make it look flawless…🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😊
Q. I keep seeing 6 months when it comes to these treatments. Do you stop after you get results or is this like a whole until death do us part sort of thing?
I just had the PRF microneedling done. I was sold some Revision cream to speed up the recovery process. My redness and pin pricks were gone in 6 days. I stayed completely out of the sun and didnt exercise until the 5th day. My skin peeled a little bit on the 5th and 6th day. Cant say I see much difference right now. Im hoping to see it later on, perhaps a few months like I was told. Fingers crossed 🤞
My skin responded quite well to the 0.25-0.5 length needles. After 1 treatment incorporating both sizes on my face, my skin was radiant and smooth when I got up the next day. I used hyaluronic serum, aloe Vera, and let it absorb after cleansing. Then go in! I might Spritz on a lil Rose water with glycerin. Some days I follow-up with the Triple Paste ointment for babies or bepanthen ointment for superior hydration. As the days went by, my skin looked better and better. Damn near Flawless.♥️
Nope. There’s some good ones on Amazon. But I did see the actual Aloe plant in My local Publix. I was tempted, but I have good results with just plain ole aloe Vera gel.
I usually Microneedle a week before an event so that I can have the slightly still plump look for the event, before it settles back down fully. (It's not red anymore by then and healed enough for makeup, but the plumpness hasn't fully resolved.)
I tried a dermaroller from Amazon. Tbh, it's only been one week and I'm seeing great results. I had it for over 15 years though and it was no longer as intense.
Microneedling has been a great benefit for my skin type re texture and scarring. But I don’t do it more than every 6-8 weeks because it’s at a deeper depth for scarring. It is a huge improvement, looks so much better, but I’m talking over 2 years+ with about 6/7 treatments a year! You will see gradual improvements from the beginning, plus in between times when some scars will look slightly wider but shallower, but you need patience….otherwise save up for an ablative laser in the hands of a seasoned professional of course :)
I have rosacea and micro needling with PrP is the only thing that I’ve seen great results from. You have to have a good esthetician assist the doctor or nurse and after care is important. Also, lots of hydration is important
Very glad you mentioned how long before you might see improvement. When you microneedle do you put actives on immediately while holes are open? If so, what, tia
Do not buy in the UK! A 2 month wait and now it's waiting at customs with a further £75 charge to have it cleared and delivered. Please just get another brand. 😢😢😢
I've only had one session and I got some results for some moderate acne scarring I have on my cheek that I still see 2 years later. It certainly took more than a month to see the actual improvement though.
I had 20 microneedling sessions done. I also do it at home with a pen so more than 20 if you count Dr pen at home. It does not remove scars. Just get laser
I go to a medi spa and the depth that they use is intense. Nothing like any esthetician has done for me and I’m assuming much deeper setting than a home device. I am thinking maybe the 20 you have done just aren’t penetrating deep enough. ?
@@naynay3174 please be careful. If you go too deep it erodes facial fat and ages you . Plus skin is thinner under eyes etc so even less is recommended in such spots
@@sreddy914 good for you. I do believe it can help if someone has textured scars, I have atrophic scars, needling it will not make the tissue grow back
I got the skin pen along with a laser treatment. I spaced my 2nd appointment 6 weeks apart and I started noticing a slight improvement at week 4 after the first one. My skin looks like it has slightly less texture and my acne deeper scars are a little less deep. ❤

It takes my skin 8 days to totally go back to normal after microneedling but around 2-3 weeks until I see the glow, and MANY microneedling sessions to even notice actual results. Ive done over 10 microneedling sessions and barely see a difference with my acne scars, but I definitely notice a reduction in wrinkles.
@@shanikkas it feels like a sunburn if that makes sense. Because they numb you face first you wont feel the needles going in the skin, but you will feel heat and pressure. Its not ultra painful though, if you are extremely sensitive to pain then maybe dont do this. The pain lasts for about a day (again, it just feels like a sunburn) and after that it feels normal. I mean, i might have to keep doing more microneedling sessions for years before it gets rid of my scars completely, but I find that Retinol does a better job at that. Its definitely thickened my skin and collagen, I look 24 even though im 28. I dont use botox anymore and I have barely any wrinkles - whereas before I used to have deep wrinkles in my forehead.
Yep. I get petechiae that lasts for 3 or 4 days then peeling. i have some scars and that post treatment puffiness does fill it all in for a bit, it takes a while to see any changes. But your skin feels great after the peeling! Just hard to schedule it with not wanting to be seen for several days.
my acne scars have all but disappeared after like 3 sessions back when i came off accutane. but i was also 18 so like idk. my acne has since returned (damn you pcos) but i don’t get deep cysts that cause scarring anymore
Doctor, I keep hearing that some experience hyperpigmentation from microneedling. I like to do it at home at only .5mm. It is possible it will make it worse? Or is that really a rare thing. I'm fair skinned, but I do struggle with hyperpigmentation. Thank you!
I have super sensitive skin and switched from waxing to threading. It's so much easier on my skin. I mainly get eyebrows done, but occasionally have them take off my peach fuzz and baby mustache. 😂
For a very long time I couldn’t take Dr Idris seriously, I was like🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 all of this is easy for a 25 year old to claim… now I just pull out my pen and paper , I need to take notes whenever she speaks.
I was told the same when I was at my consultation, 6mos I go in Tuesday. I’d like for them to do my under eye as well, I’m going to request and see what happens
I just did a chemical peel under my eyes with full strength lactic acid and my skin looks amazing. Microneedling didn't help me. Chemical peels are the best thing to use for texture. I used to use glycolic acid but I now prefer lactic acid (especially around my eyes).
Wow you are brave 😂 that's a super high % for under the eyes. But also the strength depends on the ph of the peel. For example at pH 1.5 you have like 87% of free LA, but at pH 4 it's like 37%. So it's a world of difference.
Yes BUT you have to take tyrosinase inhibitors such as kojic, Azelaic, tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin etc for at least 6 weeks beforehand, during and at least 6 weeks after getting micro needling or any other type of treatment like this done such as laser therapy etc because it prevents the melanocytes from getting triggered due to the stress your skin is under from the micro needling. So as long as you are on a good serum or two with at least one, if not a few of these inhibitors, it will prevent your melasma from developing again. I recently just did my first round of micro needling and haven’t had any issues with my melasma getting triggered because I’ve been really good about using the tyroninase inhibitors for a while now- including Tretinoin. Hope this helps!
Dr. I do microneedling at the derm on a monthly basis. My daily routine involves the use of a red light therapy mask. I read that because RLT helps with healing, it affects the efficacy of microneedling. What do you think?
Does skin need healing after laser (Soprano Alma Ice) too, even if it looks normal after sessions?? Could result go better, with using creams? Greetings from Estonia(Baltics), Dr. Idriss! 👋🏻🌹
So glad you addressed this. 6 months is realistic. Skincare is not magic and not an overnight process.
But you can’t just do one treatment- I’d say one a month for 6 months will show great improvement

I had 20 microneedling sessions done. I also do it at home with a pen so more than 20 if you count Dr pen at home. It does not remove scars. Just get laser
It drastically helped mine. Perhaps the frequency was too high in your case
I go to a medi spa and the depth that they use is intense. Nothing like any esthetician has done for me and I’m assuming much deeper setting than a home device. I am thinking maybe the 20 you have done just aren’t penetrating deep enough. ?
@@naynay3174 please be careful. If you go too deep it erodes facial fat and ages you . Plus skin is thinner under eyes etc so even less is recommended in such spots
Hello, what was the depth you used with your Pen ?
@@sreddy914 good for you. I do believe it can help if someone has textured scars, I have atrophic scars, needling it will not make the tissue grow back
Appreciate the realness!
So how long in between would you get micro needling for fine lines?
Ps love your content
Exactly, 6 months! Like with tattoos!👏
I got the skin pen along with a laser treatment. I spaced my 2nd appointment 6 weeks apart and I started noticing a slight improvement at week 4 after the first one.
My skin looks like it has slightly less texture and my acne deeper scars are a little less deep. ❤
Yes! Ty for posting. I did co2 Lazer and my skin needed a year. Slow improvements♡
hey did u done it for ur scars nd if yes did u see any improvement I'm 18 nd I just had some new scars I'm thinking to get an CO2 done should I go for it or look for another treatments I had some rolling scars !

It takes my skin 8 days to totally go back to normal after microneedling but around 2-3 weeks until I see the glow, and MANY microneedling sessions to even notice actual results. Ive done over 10 microneedling sessions and barely see a difference with my acne scars, but I definitely notice a reduction in wrinkles.
Did it hurt and you’ve still have scars!😔
@@shanikkas it feels like a sunburn if that makes sense. Because they numb you face first you wont feel the needles going in the skin, but you will feel heat and pressure. Its not ultra painful though, if you are extremely sensitive to pain then maybe dont do this. The pain lasts for about a day (again, it just feels like a sunburn) and after that it feels normal.
I mean, i might have to keep doing more microneedling sessions for years before it gets rid of my scars completely, but I find that Retinol does a better job at that. Its definitely thickened my skin and collagen, I look 24 even though im 28. I dont use botox anymore and I have barely any wrinkles - whereas before I used to have deep wrinkles in my forehead.
Can you talk about PRP?
I did two of these with PRP and I kinda regret it. I think it gave me what appears to be “pores” in places where I didn’t previously have them.
@pillowtalkderm, can you talk about the different kinds of microneedling and uses/pros/cons of each?
39.. and look 25. Amazing.
Nothing is magic everything takes time.
So do you recommend waiting at least six months for a repeat session? I thought a series of 3-5 done 4-6 weeks apart was the recommendation.
Yep. I get petechiae that lasts for 3 or 4 days then peeling. i have some scars and that post treatment puffiness does fill it all in for a bit, it takes a while to see any changes. But your skin feels great after the peeling! Just hard to schedule it with not wanting to be seen for several days.
The salon usually wants you to do it after 2 WK’s in a row. Are you saying you should do it once, after 6 months repeat?
Thank you for being so honest ❤❤
Phewf..i thought this was goinf to end w "dont bother" good to know about 6 months!
Does the 6 month result also depend on how deep the micro-needling is done?
How often can you do at-home micro-needling treatments?
my acne scars have all but disappeared after like 3 sessions back when i came off accutane. but i was also 18 so like idk. my acne has since returned (damn you pcos) but i don’t get deep cysts that cause scarring anymore
So you have to repeat the procedures during 6 months? How about home microneedling treatment?
So you should only get it done once and wait 6 months for results?
How frequently do you have to go back?
What skin prep should you do before? And how do you clean the device after you use it?
Doctor, I keep hearing that some experience hyperpigmentation from microneedling. I like to do it at home at only .5mm. It is possible it will make it worse? Or is that really a rare thing. I'm fair skinned, but I do struggle with hyperpigmentation. Thank you!
I love ur eye shadow, brand and shade plzzzzzz!!!❤❤❤
Is it fair to say that the aftercare can make or break your results?
i got microneedling sessions for 3 months or so and my skin still looks a mess hahah
Can you explain what’s the proper way to do microneedling? Is it circular motions or vertical up/down ? Thank you
Will you discuss face threading (taking hair off through thread) and the implications that can cause?
I have super sensitive skin and switched from waxing to threading. It's so much easier on my skin. I mainly get eyebrows done, but occasionally have them take off my peach fuzz and baby mustache. 😂
What do you mean? Is it bad?
Can you do other treatments in those six months or does it interfere with the healing process?
I think she probably means after a series of treatments. You’re unlikely to see results from a single treatment alone.
For a very long time I couldn’t take Dr Idris seriously, I was like🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 all of this is easy for a 25 year old to claim… now I just pull out my pen and paper , I need to take notes whenever she speaks.
I was told the same when I was at my consultation, 6mos I go in Tuesday. I’d like for them to do my under eye as well, I’m going to request and see what happens
Tank you tank you for your comment I appreciate for you addressing this❤
Please guide me which treatment gives permanent result for pigmentation?
Another question is, does micro-needling help with large pores or not?!
I don't think so!
Yes it does I believe
Thanks ❤
What about strech marks...the older ones... will they fill up, with microdeeling??? Thank you in advance
39?… girl I thought you were 29 ! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
this is true, after 4 mos, observed my skin become tighter and lines less
It needs 6 months to heal from one microneedling session?
You look good 39+. 👍🏻
I just did a chemical peel under my eyes with full strength lactic acid and my skin looks amazing. Microneedling didn't help me. Chemical peels are the best thing to use for texture. I used to use glycolic acid but I now prefer lactic acid (especially around my eyes).
Strength %?
@@zapcoaching 88 but I wouldn't recommend that you do what I did.
Wow you are brave 😂 that's a super high % for under the eyes. But also the strength depends on the ph of the peel.
For example at pH 1.5 you have like 87% of free LA, but at pH 4 it's like 37%. So it's a world of difference.
@@charlyjgm This isn't about me. I was simply answering a question. You may use whatever strength you want.
Microneedling is more effective for certain things than others ex. Atrophic scarring from cystic acne you will see better results
Does microneedling fix acne scars permanently?
Good to know what's a good plan. Please advise
What is the advantage of microneedling with prp ? Is it better or the same when you do it without,regular?
Is microneedling safe for melasma
Yes BUT you have to take tyrosinase inhibitors such as kojic, Azelaic, tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin etc for at least 6 weeks beforehand, during and at least 6 weeks after getting micro needling or any other type of treatment like this done such as laser therapy etc because it prevents the melanocytes from getting triggered due to the stress your skin is under from the micro needling. So as long as you are on a good serum or two with at least one, if not a few of these inhibitors, it will prevent your melasma from developing again. I recently just did my first round of micro needling and haven’t had any issues with my melasma getting triggered because I’ve been really good about using the tyroninase inhibitors for a while now- including Tretinoin. Hope this helps!
What advice would you give for someone considering micro needling if they have Lympheodema? Please 🙏
Dr. I do microneedling at the derm on a monthly basis. My daily routine involves the use of a red light therapy mask. I read that because RLT helps with healing, it affects the efficacy of microneedling. What do you think?
Does skin need healing after laser (Soprano Alma Ice) too, even if it looks normal after sessions?? Could result go better, with using creams?
