@drvanitarattan: Microneedling on skin of colour isn’t the same as microneedling on caucasian skin. Here’s what you need to know: 🔬 Trauma triggers melanin production in melanin-rich skin ⏱️ Unprepped skin can hyperpigment in patches that take 6 to 18 months to fade 💤 Tyrosinase inhibitors sedate your melanocytes before treatment, this is non-negotiable 📅 4 weeks of skin prep minimum before anyone puts a needle near your face ❓ The question to ask: “How are you sedating my melanocytes?” Your glow up should not cost you 18 months of PIH. Save this 📌 and follow for more skin of colour science. Love, Dr. V 🤍 #microneedling #skinofcolour #hyperpigmentation #PIH

Such good advice! We require our guests to start on tyrosinase inhibitors before their microneedling appointment and keep up with it post treatment. Prepping skin of color and taking care of it post procedure is SO important 🫶🏽

but when you say "not acids" azelaic acid and tranexamic acid are excellent tyrosinase inhibitors!

I really dislike the advice you give stating it’s bad for skin of colour when it’s simply not true at all. Please don’t take everything she says as facts cos it’s not - sincerely from a person of colour who has done microneedling for years

But you wouldn’t use a tyrosine inhibitor during the actual procedure… or do you mean leading up to the procedure and after healing? X

But are you not meant to use “active” ingredients after the procedure?

Would this also apply to CO2? I did C02, they made me use Hydroquinone for 6 weeks before and 2 months after. I was left with pigmentation oh my jawline

can you give an idea of how dark the skin needs to be to have that question asked because I am South Asian and I do microneedling and I've never had anything but very positive results and I don't use any of that whatever it was that you called

Wow thank you for sharing this! Would using only green tea 1 week prior and one week post suffice?
