Aftercare For Microneedling Treatments
​
Sun Exposure Precautions
​
Post-treatment, your skin is particularly sensitive and more prone to sunburn. It's crucial to protect your skin with care:
​
-
Sunscreen is Essential: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 every day, irrespective of the weather. Even on overcast days, UV rays can penetrate and affect your skin.
-
Regular Reapplication: It's important to reapply sunscreen frequently throughout the day to ensure continuous protection.
-
Added Vigilance: For the initial month following treatment, we recommend using a sunscreen with SPF 50 to shield the regenerating skin and secure the best outcomes.
​
Post-Treatment Makeup Guidelines
​
Allow your skin a 24-hour respite from makeup after the skin needling session. Should you need to apply makeup subsequently:
​
-
Selective Choices: Select non-comedogenic products
-
Clean Application: Always utilise clean applicators to avoid introducing bacteria to sensitive areas.
​
Managing Water Temperature
​
Hot water can be detrimental to rejuvenating skin, removing essential oils and impeding the healing process.
​
-
Refrain from hot showers or baths for at least 24 hours post-treatment to permit the treatment serum to fully penetrate and take effect.
​
Avoid Touching or Picking at the Skin
​
Your hands harbour numerous microbes that could lead to infection.
​
-
Refrain from touching the treated area to avoid disturbing the healing process.
-
Do not pick - picking at the skin can result in scarring and impede recovery.
​
Heat and Exercise
​
Intense heat and perspiration can aggravate freshly needled skin.
​
-
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours.
​
Hydrate Your Skin
​
Moisturising plays a vital role in the healing process.
​
-
Moisturiser Selection: Choose a safe, fragrance-free moisturiser or serum that is compatible with your skin type.
-
Consistent Application: Regularly apply your chosen product to encourage skin rejuvenation and maintain hydration
