Hey guys,
I did something incredibly stupid recently. I am beating myself up pretty bad from it. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I had a microneedling session. It was on a friday. And for some reason, i have no clue what posessed me to do this, I went to the tanning bed that sunday. Any I feel like since I did that, it created massive scarring for me. Scars that were not there before. I asked several people about this, and they all said they have not noticed it being any different. So I dont know if im just being paranoid or not. DO you guys know if thats possible? for scarring to get way worse if you go to a tanning bed after getting a microneedling session done? Again, I know it was such a stupid thing for me to do :(. Ill post the best before and after pictures i can. Also, if its not possible to create more scars, what damage could I have caused from doing that. The only thing I read online that may have been possible is hypopigmentation as a result. 
this is before

Any useful responses will be very appreciated guys. I see my dermatologist back in a few weeks. Ill proably mention my stupidity to her, but i am pretty scared. So what do you guys think? I have no clue if i being paranoid. But I honestly feel like they got 10x worse. ugh.
It looks the same to me...and not bad for what it's worth. Tanning after micro needling probably wasn't the best thing to do but it wouldn't have caused more scarring. I don't believe that's physically possible. It might have darkened up some scars but that's about it. The sun is particularly bad for the first 6 months (approx) after you get a new scar mainly because it can make it permanently darker. But it doesn't cause more indented scarring. Good luck!

Really? you dont think so? I was thinking that as well. Doesn't seem like it could be possible. I go see my dermatologist tomorrow and let her know what i did :(. I definitly will NOT be doing that again though.
