As a plastic surgeon, I can say that microneedling is generally a safe procedure with minimal risks if performed by a qualified professional. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks involved that should be discussed with patients before undergoing treatment. One of the main risks associated with microneedling is the potential for infection. Since the procedure involves creating tiny punctures in the skin, there is a risk of bacteria or other microorganisms entering the body. To minimize this risk, it is important to ensure that the equipment used is sterilized and that proper hygiene protocols are followed. Another potential risk is scarring. Although this is a rare occurrence, it is possible if the microneedles are used too deeply or if the patient has a history of scarring. To minimize the risk of scarring, it is important to choose a qualified professional who has experience performing the procedure. In addition, some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising after microneedling. These side effects typically subside within a few days to a week. It is also important to note that microneedling may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with certain skin conditions, such as active acne or eczema, may not be good candidates for the procedure. Additionally, patients who are allergic to any of the ingredients used in the treatment may experience an allergic reaction. Overall, the risks associated with microneedling in Glasgow are low, but it is important to have a thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure and to understand all of the potential risks and benefits.
