Microneedling is a great way to enhance the skin’s appearance and health. At Eden MedSpa, we can recommend this to patients who would benefit from it the most. If you are located in the Charlotte, North Carolina area and are considering this treatment, you might have questions about after care.
Let’s look at some commonly asked concerns.
Right after your treatment, your skin will feel like it’s had a bit of a workout. Keep it simple for the next 24-48 hours, and stay away from makeup, harsh cleansers, or exfoliants. Stick to a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum, and sunscreen!
Not so fast! Your skin is in recovery mode, so give it some TLC. Avoid active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or anything that could be too much for your healing skin. After about a week, you can ease back into your routine.
Absolutely! A little redness, tightness, or sensitivity is totally normal and usually fades in one to two days.
We know you are itching to grab your favorite foundation but give your skin at least 24-48 hours before applying makeup. Your freshly treated skin deserves some breathing room to rejuvenate properly.
It’s best to skip the gym or any intense sweating for a couple of days after treatment. Excess sweat can irritate your skin or interfere with the healing process. Consider it the perfect excuse for some downtime!
Sunscreen is your new best friend. It always should be! Shield your skin from harmful UV rays with at least SPF 30 every day. Stay out of the sun for the first few days post-treatment if you can.
While some may notice that post-treatment glow in just a few days, microneedling works beneath the surface. Full results, like smoother texture and improved tone, usually develop over several weeks as your skin’s collagen production kicks into high gear.
