How to Take Care of Your Skin After Microneedling

At Flawless Medspa and The Beverly Hills MedSpa, our expert providers are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care and ensuring you feel confident throughout your microneedling experience. After microneedling, clients can expect redness for about 1 to 3 days, which is completely normal. Mild flaking may also occur, though it’s less common. Most clients can resume normal activities the day after treatment. However, it’s important to follow proper aftercare to ensure the best results.

For the first week after treatment, use a gentle cleanser and tepid water to cleanse your face, and avoid scrubbing or picking at your skin while it’s healing. Apply a gentle moisturizer and consider using a pure hyaluronic acid serum as a skin hydrator. Avoid exfoliating products and those containing alcohol or fragrance for at least one week unless otherwise approved. Additionally, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 1 to 2 months after microneedling, and use chemical-free sunscreen starting the day after your treatment. Refrain from applying makeup for a minimum of 24 hours, though it’s ideal to wait 3 days before using makeup again. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is also recommended.

It’s essential to avoid strenuous activities or swimming for at least 3 days after the treatment, as sweating and pool water can introduce harmful bacteria that may affect your skin’s healing. Avoid waxing, laser treatments, and powered cleansing brushes for 1 to 2 weeks, respectively. By following these aftercare steps, your skin will heal beautifully and you’ll enjoy the full benefits of your microneedling treatment. Our skilled team at Flawless Medspa and The Beverly Hills MedSpa is always here to answer any questions and to support you throughout your skin rejuvenation journey.

Your comfort and results are our top priorities. After undergoing microneedling with our skilled team, it’s essential to give your skin time to heal before applying makeup. After microneedling, it’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin time to heal and reduce the risk of irritation. Your skin will be more sensitive immediately following the treatment, and applying makeup too soon could clog pores or introduce bacteria, potentially leading to breakouts or infection.

For the first 3 days, it’s recommended to avoid makeup altogether to give your skin the best chance to regenerate and heal. After that, you can gradually return to your regular makeup routine, but it’s important to use gentle, non-comedogenic products and always ensure your makeup tools are clean. For optimal results and skin health, follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions.

We want you to get the best results from your microneedling treatment while ensuring your skin remains healthy and comfortable throughout the healing process. After your session, your skin will be more sensitive due to the tiny channels created by the microneedles. Because of this, our experts recommend taking extra care with your skincare routine.

After microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, it’s important to be cautious about the skincare products you use to avoid irritation and support the healing process. For the first 48 to 72 hours, it’s recommended to avoid using your regular skincare products, especially those with active ingredients that could be too harsh on freshly treated skin and may cause irritation or prolong recovery.

Instead, use gentle, hydrating products like a mild cleanser and a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. After the initial healing period, you can gradually reintroduce your regular skincare routine, but it’s best to consult your practitioner for guidance on when it’s safe to resume using certain products. For optimal healing, follow the aftercare instructions provided by your skincare professional.

If you have any questions about your recovery or if you experience prolonged irritation following your microneedling treatment, our medical team at Flawless Medspa and The Beverly Hills MedSpa is here to help. We provide personalized advice and support tailored to your unique skin needs.

Following microneedling, clients may experience mild redness and swelling, which is a normal part of the healing process. This typically appears immediately after the treatment and can last anywhere from 1 to 3 days, depending on your skin type and the depth of the microneedling. The redness usually resembles a mild sunburn, and any swelling should be minimal.

As the skin heals, the redness and swelling generally subside within a few days. To help manage these effects, it’s important to follow aftercare instructions, such as using a gentle moisturizer, avoiding sun exposure, and refraining from strenuous activities. In most cases, clients can return to their normal routine within a day or two, and the full benefits of the treatment will become more visible as the skin regenerates.
