Microneedling/dermastamping + tretinoin or azelaic acid for nose width

Has anyone looked into or tried combining microneedling/dermastamping with tretinoin or azelaic acid specifically for making the nose look narrower?

I’ve seen the idea that microneedling could trigger collagen remodeling while tretinoin affects skin turnover/remodeling, and that azelaic acid could reduce inflammation and possibly make the nose look less puffy. I’m wondering if anyone has actually experimented with this combination or found research that relates to reducing the apparent width/thickness of the nose.

Interested in:

  • actual long-term experiences and before/afters
  • whether the nose looked smaller/narrower after the skin healed
  • whether any effect was temporary or lasted
  • tretinoin vs azelaic acid for this purpose
  • whether combining microneedling with either one seems to make a noticeable difference
  • any research on collagen remodeling or changes in nasal soft tissue
  • other topical + microneedling combinations people have found interesting
Not looking for a step-by-step microneedling guide. Mainly interested in experiences, results, and the reasoning/research behind this specific approach.

i think the Microneedling part is more so to help with the absorption of topicals cus idk how more collagen in your nose skin is supposed to help make it look smaller

ehh i mean to reduce the inflammation and oils, it speeds up the results too right, does both collagen and them, clearer skin and less oils does make it slimmer a bit ig
