Microneedling Aftercare Instructions

Hello Gorgeous ✨ We’re thrilled you chose us for your microneedling treatment! Your skin has just been through a workout, and now it needs a little downtime. Follow these aftercare instructions to heal beautifully and get the most out of your results.

No Makeup for 24–48 Hours

Give your skin breathing room. Makeup can clog your fresh micro-channels and cause irritation or even breakouts. Once the first couple of days pass, you can return to light, clean makeup if needed.

Use Only The Products We Provide at First

For the first 24–48 hours, stick strictly to the cleanser and serum we’ve given you. These are chosen to support healing and minimize irritation.

Skin Recovery Timeline

It’s completely normal for your skin to look red or feel tight, dry, or sensitive for up to 7 days. Think of it like a sunburn healing process. Don’t worry—it’s part of the journey to glowing results.

Gentle Skincare After 24–48 Hours

After the first couple of days, you may use mild cleansers (like Dove or Cetaphil) and lightweight moisturizers. Keep it simple and hydrating.

Sunscreen is a Must

Switch to a physical (mineral) sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide while your skin is healing. Avoid chemical sunscreens for at least a week—they can sting and irritate freshly treated skin.

Avoid Active Ingredients

DO NOT USE ANY glycolic acids, retinoids, salicylic acid, or other anti-aging/anti-acne products for at least 7 days. Your skin barrier needs time to recover before reintroducing strong actives.

Sweat & Heat

Skip saunas, hot tubs, and heavy workouts for the first 24 hours. Sweat and excess heat can cause irritation and slow healing.

Treatment Results

Most people need a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for best results. Improvements build over time, with full results often showing at 3–6 months as your skin’s collagen remodeling continues.

Microneedling is a process—each treatment builds on the last. Be patient with your skin, stay consistent with aftercare, and the results will be worth it. If you ever notice unusual swelling, pain, or signs of infection, reach out to us right away. Otherwise, sit back, hydrate, and let your radiant skin shine.
