I just had microneedling on my face and hands about 3 weeks ago. At the moment, I was feeling like it didn't do anything. I didn't know that I should be doing a few appointments in a row. Thank you.
Hey!🥰 I graduated form faculty of medicine in Egypt and now studying aesthetic dermatology and really liked that video and gonna check the rest of your videos as that’s helpful for me. Thank you ♥️♥️
I had 3 1/month micro needling treatments on my face, neck and chest and now I get a treatment once every 6 months. I have noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin, but feel like this is more of a long term aid for my aging skin. I have also started incorporating many of the products you have recommended for skin care (vitamin C, retinol, glycolic acid, peptides…). I started this at age 51. Wish I would have started at age 30. Thanks for your videos. Very informative. 😀
I have professional microneedling twice a year and at home with a .05 roller every two months. I love the vampire facial. The difference in my skin is amazing. Do you think that using grow factors for the microneedling makes a big difference in the skin? Would you make a video about grow factor serums? Thank you for your informative videos. Love them!
Hi :) Could you also make a video regarding desinfection/sterilisation of tools like: dermaroller, dermapen, makeup brushes, nail tools, toothbrushes etc. And what the diffrences are between UVlight, Ultrasonice sound, steam, alcohol sterilization etc.? Hope you are gonna read my comment and to see a video about it :D Thank you for all the great video's you make, I am a big fan!
Thank you dr Ellis for a very informative video. I’m planning on having microneediling this month. I have Melasma and hyperpigmentation in my face and neck. I’m 66 years old with olive skin I always had really good skin, I had shingles in my eye and face last year and that scared badly too. I’m a bit apprehensive of having any treatment. I will be grateful for your comments
I had a session of Microneedling/Morpheus and laser resurfacing done on my entire face and neck in the same day. I can say that the resurfacing didn't feel too pleasant, and my recovery took about 7-8 days. I still have two more sessions of microneedling which are 6 weeks apart. $3000 was the most painful part.
@@Cindy24412 I don't believe that I've lost volume from Morpheus. It's hard to tell because I've been on a diet and have lost volume in my face do to weight loss. The procedure did show a little improvement in my skin but it will never be flawless like Dr. Sherenne's skin.
I love micro needling. I just did my own home treatment 2 weeks ago and it really rejuvenated my skin. I did a 2.5 mm in some areas and lesser on thinner areas and I’m aiming for the every 4-6 week treatment. I have definitely noticed that the skin does need a good 2-3 week period to rejuvenate and heal. I did get some cold sore outbreaks because my skin is sensitive but I’ll be taking antivirals during my next treatment. It has been 100% worth it.
@@kzzaza1768 Different skin problems require a different depth. They want you to go light for safety but the reality is that some issues require a higher depth. Acne scars definitely need a high depth
What is the best bang for your buck when it comes to procedures like chemical peels, micro needling, light therapy and lasers? How do you determine where to focus limited finances to make a real difference in collagen production (and/or hyperpigmentation) from someone who is not trying to sell me their stuff?
Thanks for another informative and interesting video, I have been considering micro needling for my acne scarring. I would love to see a video about chemical peels from you!
I LOVE HOW SHE EXPLAINS THINGS I am a cosmetologist who’s entering into skin care. I do hair but I want to broaden my experience I’ll be watching you a ton to learn more ❤
Having microneedling for my years of acne scarring this coming up week.....light to mid severity. Thank you for the informative video so as to know what to expect and the need for three or more treatments for best results. Wish me luck!!
@AsusZenfone-kz3fc not all that noticeable considering I only had three treatments and pay for it for two years plus they busted a vessel on my right cheek in the process. Disappointed 😞
Wow i really like this video! it is so helpful to understand what microneedling is. So interesting. If there is any chance I want you to make a clip about introduing the other treatments!!
I have had 3 micro with prp treatments, primarily for old acne marks on my cheeks but also melasma. I loved the outcome! But, even with numbing all 3 treatments were painful 😅 everyone told me it wasn’t bad but mine did not feel numbed at all, so odd. I’d do it again though!
@@mm1234bb to be fair, I have had a very consistent skincare routine with prescription topicals for over 2 years so that definitely helped, and the marks k had were very faint. I’d say it faded them at least 50%. The melasma is hard bc it just comes back and I got micro needling done in spring so I didn’t have a ton then! Anyway short answer is prob 50% faded
Hello! How do you feel about microneedling in the under-eye area? My doc just introduced Potenza and I'd love to get rid of the crepeing (only area I'm wrinkled is under eye)
Hi! Could you do a similar video on laser treatments for acne scars/what to expect? As a pregnant nurse, between masks and pregnancy hormones, the last two years have not been kind to my face and trying to get an idea to make an informed decision once seeking a dermatology consult after baby is born. Thanks!!
I have been getting microneedling done once a month at 0.5mm once a month to keep my face looking youthful, smooth and even toned even tho I am only in my early 20s. Last month I got a chemical peel + microneedling and I loved the results so I am gonna start getting that done from now on. And at my house I do 1.5mm microneedling with the Dr. Pen A6 once a week to prevent hair loss. I never really found it to be very painful without numbing cream just around the hairline I start to sneeze.
Is is safe to do during summer months? Or is it better to wait until fall? And also how to find a good specialist? I live in Minnesota and tried multiple clinics for skin treatments and they usually have minimally experienced people
Thank you, Dr. Ellis! Loved learning more on this topic! Would love to know your thoughts on red/near infrared LED light therapy vs. low level laser therapy! Ex: at home LED red light mask vs. Lyma laser (home device).
Yes! Would be interested to hear Dr. Sam’s take on the at home options (Light Salon’s BOOST mask, Omnilux mask, Current Body, Dr. Dennis Gross spectralite, etc).
Thanks for the video. In Sweden, numbing is not used because it's inhibiting an optimal result apparently. I guess there are different studies and so forth on this, but what are your thoughts on this?
Thank you Dr.Sam it’s a great video. You mentioned that one session is not sufficient to see the best results. Can you please tell me how many sessions are needed and what should be the time gap for each session? Thanks again for this best video 😊
Yes. I would like to see/ hear the differences between them. Also, would like to have her discuss differences and show results of chemical peels vs microneedling or laser
I had radio frequency Microneedling done today and while I didn’t even feel it for most of my face, it hurt along the hairline (manageable) and was really uncomfortable under my eyes. Worse than PRP under my eyes for sure but not the worst thing ever. I’d do it again but it’s not comfortable!
Lovely video! Are home lasers or in office lasers different? How? Would you recommend at home devices? So appreciate your taking the time and your expertise to educate us all!
Love your videos! Would you be able to do a video about accutane? More specifically the aftercare after you finish your course? I am in this spot right now and would welcome some additional advice/ tips. Thank you!
I’ve had 2 micro needling treatments from a reputable business, owned by a nurse practitioner. I’ve also had Botox and fillers. My treatments were given by a nurse . My skin doesn’t even get red after the treatments. I’m wondering if I need more aggressive treatments. I’m 72 years old.
The esthetician at my dermatologist office recommended only micro needling for my aging skin which has significant Sun damage, redness and hyperpigmentation…however, I have a few small areas of psoriasis on my face. Should I still do it? Thank you…love your videos, so helpful!
No, as a professional Licensed Master Esthetician and Nutritionist, I would advise getting your psoriasis under control on your face first with internal nutrition, BEFORE “opening a can of worms.” I would encourage you to seek alternative skin healing correction utilizing other methods for your particular skin type and condition such as (Light therapy) and the use of stem cells/growth factors with a good clinical and holistic topical skin care routine and a skin health lifestyle diet and change of life. No gluten, sugar, dairy. Control stress with adrenal support supplementation. 😊
Hello doctor!! I hope you reply to this. Since i cant afford a dermatologist or a dermapen because they both are very costly, I ordered a dermastamp it has 0.25 to 3.00mm needle setting with titanium needles. When i use the stamp i do feel the redness and burning sensation but i dont feel the needles penetrating my skin. So when i was cleaning the tool i tried the 3mm setting on my hand and it did not penetrate the skin there too. So now im concerned that since the needles are not even penetrating my skin how are they gonna treat my scars?? And yeah, i did clean the dermastamp with alcohol after testing. But I'm really worried, should i order a derma roller maybe it's needles would penetrate my skin. Please reply!! I really need guidance. 🙏🏻🙃🙂🙏🏻
Hello from London Dr Ellis :) Can I please ask you how long before a procedure with micro needling I have to stop using my prescription tretinoin 0.05. Because every one I asked says something different like 2 months or 6 months. Some ppl told me even 2 weeks only. I don’t believe them so I turn to you for help. Many thanks in advance xxx
Q: What is the age cutoff for this procedure? I'm a 62-year-old male with acne scars and I'm not sure if there's any collagen left so I wanted an honest answer from a professional. Thx!
Hiiii🤍 love your vids! I’m an esthetician & I’m hearing more about microchanneling can you please explain the difference between channeling & needling.
I have EDS and my scars are atrophic, I've always wondered if microneedling and or lasers, etc would be good for me, or if there is something special I need to do to take care of my skin 🤔
YES!!! I wonder so much how EDS impacts all sorts of different cosmetic procedures that are available - I’d love to have a dermatologist who specializes in treating the skin of EDS patients!
What do you think of micro needling for rosacea prone skin. I just have redness on my checks without any skin texture issues. I have had many treatment of IPL. I have had three micro needling sessions. However some aestheticians do not recommend it. I do not think that my micro needling did not make my rosacea any worse.
What impact would receiving treatments with several months or even years in between sessions have? For instance, undergoing two treatments with a six-month gap within a single year and then receiving another treatment in the subsequent year-could this variance in the timing of follow-up treatments potentially affect the outcomes, given that the intervals between treatments are not consistently one month?
Thank you so much for this video, Dr Ellis! I've heard before that applying vitamin c after microneedling can result in foreign body granulomas. Is this true? Also, can you clarify the minimal depth the needles should be in order to stimulate collagen to heal acne scars? I've heard that some aesthetician clinics tend to use shorter depths for the first 1-2 microneedling sessions, but if the concern is acne scarring, I'm curious as to whether a gentler treatment would be effective for this concern? Is a more "aggressive" treatment that uses longer needle depths necessarily better?
It can! Really depends on the specific product applied! For acne scarring you need to be deeper in the dermis but we also know that once you increase the needle depth beyond 1.5mm, the actual depth of penetration becomes more unpredictable. Generally “gentle” treatments are not that effective for acne scars (and specifically acne scars in which there is significant texture to the skin, not just irregular pigmentation).
@@DrSamEllis for acne scars, maybe more than 1,5 because when we roll with it, the effective size who go in the skin is not 1,5 but a little bit less ( sorry for my broken English) agree ? 🇫🇷
Hello Dr. Ellis, I have an upcoming appointment to get radio frequency microneedling by my dermatologist. I been reading some side effects that can happen is facial fat loss, is this common to happen? After seeing that is concerning me. Also what is reasonable price to charge for radio frequency microneedling? Per session they will be charging me $1200 and I am located in Chicago. Is that price reasonable?
Hi I’ve been doing micro needling once a month on my face and my scalp for quite a while and I love it but I just got the doctor pen eight and I use that on my face and I was blazing hot red the next morning I woke up and it was all gone and then I put on my sunscreen and my face turned blazing red and hot again and I was a sunscreen that I use all the time the Elta MD. I only use the .5 needle any suggestions for next time?
Hello , would getting microneedling and a TCA peel at the same time be a good idea ? I’m scheduled to have that done at a medi spa after they suggested it but I can’t seem to find good info on having those 2 procedures done together in the same day . Thanks !
How long will the results last? If i am treating acne scars, will i need to be ongoing regularly repeating this treatment to keep results? I am already planning on getting 4 treatments in about 4 months, but am wondering about after that.
I have had x9 chemical peels then x3 microneedling for pitted acne scars. Little, if any, change. What to try next - laser? RF? LED? Subcision? filler? Everything probably, lol.
Hi! I'm in the Bay Area (Marin) and I have a very intelligent and sought after derm, but I don't feel like she cares (I have to do a bunch of research and come up with my own suggestions most of the time) and she always tries to upsell!!! What is your waiting list like? Lol
I got microneedling for the first time. The skin clinic didn't put any numbing cream on me because they said it's not needed. It didn't hurt me at all and I didn't bleed. I think they didn't go deep enough. Should I look to going to another place? Will I see the same results if they are not going deep enough? They are a certified clinic.
Hello, Hope you're having a great day!!! I live in a small town and only have one office that provides micro needling lasers RF ECT. So my question is if I use at home RF do I have to stop that first certain amount of time before going for my needling PRP, or for any amount of time after? And yes I am having problems getting my answer from the local provider and might want to call around but it seemed to be very knowledgeable and I would love to hear your feedback...
I'm curious about dry brushing in combination with microneedling, is there any benefit, how often to dry brush since needling is only done once a month, thanks
Hi Dr. your video just popped up on my suggested page today and love your videos and content! Would you recommend professional PRF microneedling for skin of color with mild melasma, major concern is aging and overall texture? Thanks
Does the depth or length of needles matter? I did a few rounds at one place and had a couple days of recovery (sunburned look first day followed by tiny red dots on my face for another day or two). Then I did a few rounds at another place and hardly had any recovery (skin looked totally normal the next day). Makes me wonder if the second place didn’t go deep enough. So, maybe very few benefits in the latter example?
Hi, thank you for your informativ videos. . Could you please comment on this, I am a little worried I have ruined my skin rather than built it: I had my very first Dermapen needling 3 weeks ago. They put a rich layer of 1 % retinol (from ZO skincare) on top of my skin just after the treatment and recommended to put 0.5 % retinol on my skin every night. I had never used retinol before. During the day I was recommended to use Illuminating AOX serum and also Power defense, all from ZO. My skin reacted with redness, dryness and cracking for almost 2 weeks. It was also painful every time I put on this cream for the same period. I do not mind the pain if this is healthy treatment for my skin, but I wonder if this a damaging way? MY skin is fair and my age is 63!
I am not a doctor, but can tell you what a dermatologist and cosmetic doctor told me 6 months ago. Higher dose Retinol on sensitive skin every day is not recommended. Dtr told me I could safely try a very low dose Tretinoin 0.25% 1x a week - very small amount - pea size - only before bed. Wash off in am and wear sunscreen before going out in the sun in the day. Retinol and Tretinoin makes your skin more sensitive to sun, so advised must wear sunscreen and only use at night. I had not had not had microneedling done either. I would have thought Retinol too harsh right after that procedure based on what they said?
Thank you for this interesting video. Now, I've done a series of micro needling once, and was not blown away with the results tbh. Now, I am curious about stepping up a level with RF micro needling, like Vicace or Morpheus8. My main focus is just to keep my skin in the best condition as I (obviously) turn older. Can you recommend these treatments and which one would you maybe recommend most? Thanks!
Both are good devices! Reallllly depends on the person performing the treatment. Also, the better your skin is to start, the less improvement or “wow result” you’ll see.

Because every one I asked says something different like 2 months or 6 months. Some ppl told me even 2 weeks only. I don’t believe them so I turn to you for help. Many thanks in advance xxx
I would go by the advice of whoever is doing your treatment! I usually don’t have my patients stop ahead of time.
Can you recommend Prequel products for post microneedling care?
What about if you have rosacea or thread or spider veins? Can it make it worse ?
Q: What is the age cutoff for this procedure? I'm a 62-year-old male with acne scars and I'm not sure if there's any collagen left so I wanted an honest answer from a professional. Thx!
Love this video !!! Can you explain Clear & Brilliant?
Hiiii🤍 love your vids! I’m an esthetician & I’m hearing more about microchanneling can you please explain the difference between channeling & needling.
Is facial acupuncture helpful to boost collagen production?
What serums are needed at treatment to remove scars?
I have EDS and my scars are atrophic, I've always wondered if microneedling and or lasers, etc would be good for me, or if there is something special I need to do to take care of my skin 🤔
YES!!! I wonder so much how EDS impacts all sorts of different cosmetic procedures that are available - I’d love to have a dermatologist who specializes in treating the skin of EDS patients!
How big are your scars and how were the micro-needling results
What do you think of micro needling for rosacea prone skin. I just have redness on my checks without any skin texture issues. I have had many treatment of IPL. I have had three micro needling sessions. However some aestheticians do not recommend it. I do not think that my micro needling did not make my rosacea any worse.
What impact would receiving treatments with several months or even years in between sessions have? For instance, undergoing two treatments with a six-month gap within a single year and then receiving another treatment in the subsequent year-could this variance in the timing of follow-up treatments potentially affect the outcomes, given that the intervals between treatments are not consistently one month?
Could you do a video like this for a VI Peel?
What a beautiful and smart lady.
Can you do microneedling if you have rosacea/acne rosacea ?
What do you think of Dr Pen?
Thank you so much for this video, Dr Ellis! I've heard before that applying vitamin c after microneedling can result in foreign body granulomas. Is this true?
Also, can you clarify the minimal depth the needles should be in order to stimulate collagen to heal acne scars? I've heard that some aesthetician clinics tend to use shorter depths for the first 1-2 microneedling sessions, but if the concern is acne scarring, I'm curious as to whether a gentler treatment would be effective for this concern? Is a more "aggressive" treatment that uses longer needle depths necessarily better?
It can! Really depends on the specific product applied! For acne scarring you need to be deeper in the dermis but we also know that once you increase the needle depth beyond 1.5mm, the actual depth of penetration becomes more unpredictable. Generally “gentle” treatments are not that effective for acne scars (and specifically acne scars in which there is significant texture to the skin, not just irregular pigmentation).
@@DrSamEllis Thank you so much for the clarification Dr! I really appreciate it 💗
@@DrSamEllis for acne scars, maybe more than 1,5 because when we roll with it, the effective size who go in the skin is not 1,5 but a little bit less ( sorry for my broken English) agree ? 🇫🇷
Hello Dr. Ellis, I have an upcoming appointment to get radio frequency microneedling by my dermatologist. I been reading some side effects that can happen is facial fat loss, is this common to happen? After seeing that is concerning me. Also what is reasonable price to charge for radio frequency microneedling? Per session they will be charging me $1200 and I am located in Chicago. Is that price reasonable?
Is mirconeedling good for active acne and pigmentation?
What are your thoughts on Sylfirmx for antiageing?
Hi I’ve been doing micro needling once a month on my face and my scalp for quite a while and I love it but I just got the doctor pen eight and I use that on my face and I was blazing hot red the next morning I woke up and it was all gone and then I put on my sunscreen and my face turned blazing red and hot again and I was a sunscreen that I use all the time the Elta MD. I only use the .5 needle any suggestions for next time?
I had clinical in a pl surgery office did not do a thing for acne scars,why I got them.very disappointing.
Dermathropin pmg from standard process for acne scars
Hello , would getting microneedling and a TCA peel at the same time be a good idea ? I’m scheduled to have that done at a medi spa after they suggested it but I can’t seem to find good info on having those 2 procedures done together in the same day .
Thanks !
How long will the results last? If i am treating acne scars, will i need to be ongoing regularly repeating this treatment to keep results? I am already planning on getting 4 treatments in about 4 months, but am wondering about after that.
I have had x9 chemical peels then x3 microneedling for pitted acne scars. Little, if any, change. What to try next - laser? RF? LED? Subcision? filler? Everything probably, lol.
Have you tried tretinoin?
Anyone know what a few ‘basic’ moisturizer brands would be, same with”mineral sunscreens.” Thanks
What procedures can be done to help reduce the appearance of old surgical scars?
I have breakouts on my chin. Should I wait for it to clear up before I micro needle with my pen I just ordered? It’s an electric microneedling pen.
How long do effects last?
What about rosacea microneedling
I’m curious about this as well
With rosacea a flare is always possible so i like my patients to have good control of their rosacea before a treatment!
Hi! I'm in the Bay Area (Marin) and I have a very intelligent and sought after derm, but I don't feel like she cares (I have to do a bunch of research and come up with my own suggestions most of the time) and she always tries to upsell!!! What is your waiting list like? Lol
Zane, by any chance?

How many months do we have to wait after microneedling to start Accutane please ?
I got microneedling for the first time. The skin clinic didn't put any numbing cream on me because they said it's not needed. It didn't hurt me at all and I didn't bleed. I think they didn't go deep enough. Should I look to going to another place? Will I see the same results if they are not going deep enough? They are a certified clinic.
yes, go elsewhere.
Hello, Hope you're having a great day!!!
I live in a small town and only have one office that provides micro needling lasers RF ECT. So my question is if I use at home RF do I have to stop that first certain amount of time before going for my needling PRP, or for any amount of time after? And yes I am having problems getting my answer from the local provider and might want to call around but it seemed to be very knowledgeable and I would love to hear your feedback...
You generally don’t need to stop at-home treatments but always check with the person who did your consultation and is planning to do your treatment.
I'm curious about dry brushing in combination with microneedling, is there any benefit, how often to dry brush since needling is only done once a month, thanks
I'm having so many pustule/whiteheads after microneedling on my cheeks....what to do?
Hi Dr. your video just popped up on my suggested page today and love your videos and content! Would you recommend professional PRF microneedling for skin of color with mild melasma, major concern is aging and overall texture? Thanks
I took nytol before and after micro needling. Will this ruin my results?
Does the depth or length of needles matter? I did a few rounds at one place and had a couple days of recovery (sunburned look first day followed by tiny red dots on my face for another day or two). Then I did a few rounds at another place and hardly had any recovery (skin looked totally normal the next day). Makes me wonder if the second place didn’t go deep enough. So, maybe very few benefits in the latter example?
Hi Dr, how long can I do laser to treat PIE after finishing isotretinoin ?
Hi, thank you for your informativ videos. . Could you please comment on this, I am a little worried I have ruined my skin rather than built it: I had my very first Dermapen needling 3 weeks ago. They put a rich layer of 1 % retinol (from ZO skincare) on top of my skin just after the treatment and recommended to put 0.5 % retinol on my skin every night. I had never used retinol before. During the day I was recommended to use Illuminating AOX serum and also Power defense, all from ZO. My skin reacted with redness, dryness and cracking for almost 2 weeks. It was also painful every time I put on this cream for the same period. I do not mind the pain if this is healthy treatment for my skin, but I wonder if this a damaging way? MY skin is fair and my age is 63!
I am not a doctor, but can tell you what a dermatologist and cosmetic doctor told me 6 months ago. Higher dose Retinol on sensitive skin every day is not recommended. Dtr told me I could safely try a very low dose Tretinoin 0.25% 1x a week - very small amount - pea size - only before bed. Wash off in am and wear sunscreen before going out in the sun in the day. Retinol and Tretinoin makes your skin more sensitive to sun, so advised must wear sunscreen and only use at night. I had not had not had microneedling done either. I would have thought Retinol too harsh right after that procedure based on what they said?
@@kouten07 Tretinoin 0.25% > 1% retinol. Both just take time. You are not damaging you skin.
Thank you for this interesting video. Now, I've done a series of micro needling once, and was not blown away with the results tbh. Now, I am curious about stepping up a level with RF micro needling, like Vicace or Morpheus8. My main focus is just to keep my skin in the best condition as I (obviously) turn older. Can you recommend these treatments and which one would you maybe recommend most? Thanks!
Both are good devices! Reallllly depends on the person performing the treatment. Also, the better your skin is to start, the less improvement or “wow result” you’ll see.
@@DrSamEllis Thanks for this helpful answer! (I'll give you an update after my treatment -somewhere this autumn (Europe)).

Doesn't RF cause fat atrophy?
Does it help with smiles lines and how many session required
