What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Essential Microneedling Aftercare Tips
1. Keep It Clean
After your microneedling session, it’s crucial to keep your skin clean to prevent infection. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid touching your face unnecessarily.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure
Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after microneedling. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week.
3. Hydrate Your Skin
Microneedling can cause temporary dryness. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and help with the healing process.
4. Avoid Harsh Products
Steer clear of exfoliants, retinoids, and other harsh skincare products for at least a week post-treatment. Stick to gentle, soothing products.
5. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. This aids in the healing process and enhances your results.
