single needle - having a hard time
« on: July 13, 2011, 07:28:02 PM »
It seems like in some spots the needle will barely go through my skin.  Why is this.  I push hard but still its hard to get through my skin.  Does this make sense?  How far apart should you prick your skin?

The skin is a very tough organ because it has to protect us. If you needle scars, it is even harder to penetrate that skin than non-scarred skin. You should soften the skin before needling. It will help a little.  

  My answer is number 3:

  What are you needling?

Im needling pitted scars from acne and lasers.  Should there be bleeding afterwards?

There is usually some pinpoint bleeding with the single needle but it doesn't always occur.
