What to Expect (Microneedling)
Days 1-3:
Your skin may feel tight, dry, or sensitive to touch, similar to a sunburn.
Use a gentle cleanser and cool water to wash your skin. Pat dry gently with your hands no sooner than 4 hours after treatment.
Some redness and slight bruising may occur, lasting 5-7 days, along with temporary swelling for 2-4 days.
Tips:
Avoid strenuous exercise, jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for 48 hours post-treatment.
Use only mineral makeup after 24 hours.
Days 2-7:
Peeling may begin 3-5 days after treatment, accompanied by dryness and flaking due to increased skin cell turnover.
Do not pick, scratch, or scrub the treated skin!
Important:
Allow old skin to naturally flake off and keep it moisturized continuously. Consult your skin specialist for recommended products.
Days 5-7:
Resume regular skincare products once skin irritation subsides. Many patients observe ongoing skin improvement in the months following treatment.
For Optimal Results:
We recommend follow-up microneedling treatments every 6-8 weeks, typically 3-5 sessions depending on your individual treatment plan.
