Is this normal ?

Hi Sarah,

Just done my first single needling session on my arm, and what I'm seeing is scary.

Pic is in attachment.

Is this normal :confused:

No that is not normal and I am sorry about this!

   

  The skin on the arms is thinner that the skin where the stretch marks routinely are - the hips, buttocks, thighs etc. Single needling thin skin deeply can unfortunately cause bruising. If you send me an email with your address, I will instruct our dispatch center to send you shorter needles for free. We have some in stock. It could also be that you received some that were a little too long.

  We have ordered a new batch of single needles that are shorter.

Have you needled vigorously? (with the single needle on the inside of the arms, that's a no-no - I'll add that to our instructions ASAP.)

I did needle vigorously. The stretch marks swelled and became red.

How long will it take for the dark spots to go away ?

Lastly, how do I send you a private message ? Or can you give me your e-mail ?

Thanks.
