Microneedling

What to do/expect from your skin for the next 2-7 days after Micro-needling

1. No active ingredients for 7 days; Vitamin A, retinol, Vitamin C, Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), etc
2. Gentle cleanse, pat dry skin with a towel as skin can feel tender for a few days, then moisturise with Ultra soothing aftercare cream with SPF for the morning.
3. No exfoliants (chemical or physical scrubs) for 5-7 days
4. Normal for skin to have some redness, feel tight, dry, a bit rough, and may have some swelling for a few days after treatment. May present some scabbing for some people, all of which are completely normal. Avoid touching or picking the area.
5. Could have possibly peeling day 3-7. This is normal as treatment has successfully stimulated collagen production and promoted cell turnover.
6. Could experience breakouts due to the release of debris and toxins. Usually cleared by 1-2 weeks
7. Avoid sun exposure for the first two days and thereafter SPF to wear daily.
8. If possible, avoid makeup for the next 24 hours, Best to allow the skin's barrier to heal over.
9. Avoid Swimming pools, saunas, and any situation where you might have to sweat heavily, like an intense workout at the gym for 24 hours.
10. Avoid Hot showers/Baths within the first 24 hours, as hot water disrupts the micro-environment for the skin to heal.
