NUE DERMA – Microneedling Aftercare Advice Microneedling stimulates natural skin healing and collagen production. To achieve the best results and avoid complications, please follow this advice: Immediately After Treatment • Skin may feel warm, tight, or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. • Redness and slight swelling are normal and usually settle within 24–48 hours. • Avoid touching the face unnecessarily to prevent irritation or infection. First 24–48 Hours • Do not apply makeup for 24 hours. • Use only gentle, recommended skincare (hyaluronic acid serum, soothing cleanser, light moisturiser). • Avoid active products (retinol, AHA/BHA acids, vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide). • Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, and exercise that causes heavy sweating. • Do not expose your skin to direct sun or use sunbeds. • Apply a high-factor broad-spectrum SPF (30+) if going outside. First Week • Keep the skin hydrated with gentle, non-comedogenic moisturisers. • Mild flaking or peeling is normal – do not pick or scrub the skin. • Avoid exfoliation and harsh treatments (chemical peels, laser, waxing) until skin has fully healed. • Avoid alcohol and smoking, as these can slow healing. Healing & Results • Redness usually subsides within 1–3 days, though mild dryness may continue longer. • Visible results typically improve over 4–6 weeks as collagen renewal takes place. • A course of treatments may be recommended for optimal results. When to Contact Us Seek advice if you notice: • Severe swelling or pain • Signs of infection (increasing redness, pus, fever) • Rash or allergic reaction
