THINGS TO THINK ABOUT AFTER THE TREATMENT
After a Microneedling treatment:
Redness and/or swelling are often seen for 12-48 hours depending on how sensitive your skin is. You will be red when you leave. Minor bleeding often occurs. There may also be heat or stinging in the face. Most people can return to normal activities the day after the treatment. You are often fully recovered within 4-5 days.
During the first 24-48 hours. After treatment, the skin is red and warm. Avoid touching the skin. Also avoid sun, sauna, exercise and the like. Also do not use make-up.
Avoid active products with AHA, BHA, or PHA acids, retinoids, alcohol or hydroquinone for at least one week after your treatment. Also avoid other skin care treatments, including fillers, lasers or peels. Use sunscreen specifically for the face (regular sunscreen is too oily and can cause acne) if you are outside even if the sun is not out.
We recommend using a recovery cream morning and evening and applying it as soon as you feel dry or tight.
