24 Hours After Microneedling:
You can wash your face with a gentle cleanser and use a nourishing moisturiser. Avoid products that contain fragrance, active ingredients (vitamin C, vitamin a, retinol), acids (AHA, BHA, lactic), physical scrubs, and toners that may irritate the skin.
At this stage, you may experience some mild swelling, peeling and flaking. To minimise these effects, keep the skin moisturised. Moisturising will also reduce flaking and alleviate the feeling of tightness.
Avoid exercising, excessively sweating, swimming, or applying makeup for 24 hours. You must use a high protection sunscreen when going outdoors and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
48 Hours After Microneedling:
Optional: If you have dry and flaking skin, you can gently exfoliate to speed up recovery. Do not use a chemical or harsh physical exfoliant; opt for a clean washcloth.
And if your skin feels sensitive, do not exfoliate yet; it will subside soon. Continue to hydrate the skin twice per day.
3-5 Days After Microneedling:
Apply high protection sunscreen daily, avoid direct and extended sunlight. Focus on hydrating and moisturising products and avoiding active ingredients, scrubs, acids, and toners.
7+ Day After Microneedling:
