Post Treatment Guide

Congratulations on completing your microneedling treatment!

To ensure optimal results and promote healthy skin healing, please follow these detailed post-treatment instructions:

1. Irritation:

• After microneedling, minor redness is common and should subside within 1 to 2 hours. This temporary irritation is a natural response to the treatment and indicates increased blood flow to the skin, promoting healing and rejuvenation.

2. Makeup:

• It's essential to allow your skin time to heal after microneedling. We recommend skipping makeup for at least 24 hours, or longer if possible, to prevent clogging pores and allowing your skin to breathe freely. This period of makeup-free recovery ensures that your skin can fully absorb the benefits of the treatment without interference.

3. Physical Activity:

• Sweating can exacerbate irritation and inflammation, potentially leading to discomfort and compromised results. Therefore, it's best to avoid strenuous physical activity and environments that induce sweating for the first 24 hours post-treatment. This allows your skin to remain calm and undisturbed as it undergoes the healing process.

4. Sun Protection:

• Direct sun exposure immediately after microneedling can increase the risk of sun damage and compromise the healing process. It's crucial to avoid direct sunlight for at least 24 hours after treatment and to wear sunscreen with a high SPF when outdoors. This protects your skin from harmful UV rays and reduces the risk of post-treatment complications.

5. Environment:

• Pools, saunas, and steam rooms can introduce bacteria and irritants to your skin, potentially leading to infection or irritation post-treatment. It's advisable to steer clear of these environments for at least 24 hours to minimise the risk of adverse reactions and ensure optimal healing.

6. Product Absorption:

• Microneedling enhances the absorption of skincare products, making your skin more receptive to active ingredients. It's crucial to choose gentle, fragrance-free products to avoid potential irritation. Additionally, refrain from exfoliating or using products containing active ingredients for at least 3 days post-treatment to prevent overstimulation of the skin.

7. Hygiene:

• Maintaining proper hygiene is essential to prevent infection and promote healing after microneedling. Keep your hands clean and avoid touching your face unnecessarily to minimise the risk of introducing bacteria or irritants to your skin.

8. Skin Sensitivity:

• Some individuals may experience mild swelling, peeling, or flaking after microneedling. These temporary side effects are normal and can be minimised by keeping the skin moisturised. Using a gentle, hydrating moisturiser can soothe the skin and alleviate discomfort, promoting a smoother and more comfortable recovery process.

By following these comprehensive post-treatment instructions, you can optimise the results of your microneedling treatment and enjoy healthy, radiant skin for the long term.
