Answer: Melarase creams and hyperpigmentation after microneedling

After microneedling or dermapen treatment, I would advise patients to use Melarase creams to help reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Petrolatum gel, QV intensive....simple is best

HA is rather expensive, and simple emollients are cheap. The fact that you are having Dermapen is the difference....not the creams after. The depth and passes will be determined by the Specialist you are seeing. I would personally stretch the skin, and use the Professional Dermapen, followed by Retinol prescription 9 days later.
