Many people try microneedling to improve their skin. But, it's not without its risks. It's important to know the potential downsides before trying it. Some skin conditions make
microneedling risky or even harmful.
People with blood clotting disorders or who've had recent chemotherapy or radiation should be careful. These conditions can make healing hard, leading to serious issues like bleeding or infections.
For those prone to herpes outbreaks, like cold sores, microneedling might trigger more outbreaks. If you have a history of keloids, microneedling could lead to more keloid growth.
Be cautious if you have spreading moles and freckles. Microneedling could make these conditions worse. If you have eczema or psoriasis, it might also make your symptoms worse.
