The at-home microneedling trend is actually doing more harm than good. ❌ Here’s why you should skip this one and leave it to the professionals… 👇
🦠 1. Your home isn’t a sterile environment.
Microneedling creates open channels in the skin. Without a clinical, sterile environment, you’re dramatically increasing the risk of infection, inflammation, and breakouts.
📏 2. Needle depth matters everywhere
Different areas of the face require different depths. At-home devices can’t properly control this, which means:
• Too deep = injury, scarring, pigmentation
• Too shallow = zero results
💉 3. At-home needles ≠ professional needles
Professional devices use medical-grade, ultra-sharp needles designed for rapid, precise movement.
At-home tools are often dull, lower quality, and can tear the skin instead of treating it.
Microneedling is a powerful treatment when done correctly.
🏠 But at home? That’s where things can go sideways fast and leave you with breakouts, inflammation, and scars that take months to correct and will have you regretting trying it yourself.
⭐️ If you want safe & real clinical results working with a licensed professional is your only option.
