Question: 1 / 400

What can occur if the settings are too high during a micro treatment?

Irritation

Pinpoint bleeding

When the settings are too high during a micro treatment, pinpoint bleeding can occur. This happens because the device used in the treatment penetrates too deeply or aggressively into the skin, disrupting the blood vessels and causing them to rupture. This is particularly relevant in procedures like microneedling, where the intent is to promote healing and regeneration through controlled injury.

While irritation, discoloration, and excessive dryness can also be side effects of various treatments at inappropriate settings, they are generally more related to skin reaction or the aftercare, rather than the immediate trauma caused by excessive depth or intensity. Pinpoint bleeding is a direct and immediate result of overly aggressive settings, making it a clear indicator that the treatment was too intense for the skin's tolerance.
