Active skin cancer in the treatment area: Microneedling can potentially spread cancer cells. Open wounds, sores, or irritated skin: Microneedling can worsen these conditions. Allergies to stainless steel or anesthetics: SkinPen uses stainless steel needles, and anesthetic anesthetics may be used during the procedure.

Bleeding disorders: Microneedling can increase the risk of bleeding.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding: While research is limited, it’s generally recommended to avoid microneedling during these periods.

Use of isotretinoin (Accutane): This medication can make the skin more susceptible to scarring.
