FAQ's
What do I need to know AFTER I get Microneedling?
Important Post-Treatment Care
Microneedling post-care is crucial to ensure proper healing and maximize the benefits of the treatment. Here are some essential tips for microneedling aftercare. Remember that the post-care regimen may vary depending on skin type, so it's crucial to consult with your injector for personalized guidance.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least a week following microneedling. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher if you need to go outside. Sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser for the first few days after treatment. Avoid using harsh or exfoliating products that could irritate your skin.
Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. This helps in the healing process and prevents excessive dryness.
Avoid Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Once your skin has healed, use clean makeup brushes and products to minimize the risk of infection.
No Touching: Avoid touching your face with dirty hands to prevent infection. Also, refrain from picking at scabs or peeling skin, as this can lead to scarring.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within, which aids in the healing process.
Limit Activities: Avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, steam rooms, and hot showers for a few days to prevent excessive sweating, which can irritate the skin.
Topical Products: Consult with your skincare professional for guidance on which topical products are safe to use post-microneedling. Avoid harsh or active ingredients until your skin has fully healed.
Follow Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-care instructions provided by your microneedling practitioner, as they may vary based on the depth and type of microneedling performed.
Be Patient: Healing and results take time. It may take several weeks to see the full benefits of microneedling. Continue to follow your skincare routine as advised by your practitioner.
