Microneedling For Pigmentation (SAFE At Home Technique)

[@susancollins4362]

Thanks Doc, that is so good to know about the 0. 25mm length for pigmentation and it make complete sense. I’m a seasoned microneedler and use Tretinoin along with Niacinimide after my session, but I really didn’t know about how I should be treating my couple of hyperpigmentation areas.

Hi, So, can I use Adapalene after microneedeling?

[@aamimami2147]

I wasn’t sure if I got the right size needling device. I have hyperpigmentation only, no wrinkles. I bought a .25 not knowing anything about this process. You’re just the right person to guide me through this journey! Thank you for sharing your expertise! ❤

I've recently been watching Dr Abs and taken onboard his advice regarding micro needling and Thiamidol (Eucerin) with SPF 50 daily and lifestyle changes such as weight training every day and a good diet and my skin has improved a great deal within a few weeks. My pigmentation has improved dramatically with the Eucerin cream twice a day to the point that I've had a number of compliments telling me my skin looks fresh and glowing. Thank you Dr Abs :)

[@junefoster924]

I did a Google search for you. There are several ways to help with vitiligo, including: Treatments Treatments can include: Topical treatments: These include creams and ointments that can restore color to small patches of skin. They can include corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors. Light therapy: Also called phototherapy, this treatment uses special wavelengths of light to repigment the skin. Depigmentation: This treatment removes color from dark areas of the skin to match the white patches. It's usually recommended for people with vitiligo on more than half of their bodies. Surgery: This is typically not recommended unless other treatments don't work.

[@dq6169]

@ Thank you, that was very thoughtful of you. I’ve throughly researched and not found any effective solutions. Topical treatments and light therapy have not worked. The depigmentation is not an option. I’m searching for a correction of the underlying cause, a way to reverse the autoimmune destruction of the pigmentation. Thank you again for caring enough to help. You are appreciated.

[@Phoenixtwinflame363]

I've done microneedling quite a bit in past yrs, at home. Following all the important instructions. Always sterilizing before and after. So why then is it, if what you say is true & the penetrative holes close up, leaving no scars, that I ended up over time getting what people refer to as "orange peel" skin? I've always had smooth, minimal pores skin. And since doing the microneedling with a derma roller I now have noticeable pores, which look like the aftermath of tiny needles puncturing my face. I'm now scared to use a derma roller ever again.

Did you consult with someone like myself first to create a supervised needling plan based on your individual medical history and clinical presentation?

​@Dr_Abs ​@Dr_Abs no I did not. In my research about this I've read many complaints about the same potential adverse reaction happening to others.

red light might be causing it in the dermaroller holes? just a guess. Red Light isn't designed for skin with open channels.

The heat from the NIR is probably the cause, even without dermaroller. Check out Dr Vanita Rattan's video about Red light therapy and melasma. I do believe she said there is certain red light therapy that can be beneficial for people with melasma issues but heat should be avoided.
