ABSTRACT
Skin rejuvenation procedures have increasingly flooded the aesthetic market, one of which includes microneedling. In microneedling, multiple fine punctures of the skin are performed with a needle to induce neocollagenesis. Microneedling has increasingly been used to treat inflammatory acne, acne scarring, photodamaged skin, and even radiation dermatitis. We present a patient with a stable history of liquid injectable silicone (LIS) given 20 years prior who developed chronic periocular and facial hypersensitivity after undergoing microneedling at a medi-spa. Long-term steroids and immunosuppressants were needed for control. The patient's severe reaction and resistance to treatment highlights the potential complications of microneedling administered by a non-medical professional in the setting of prior injectable silicone.
