The Healing Process: What to Expect After a Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a quick and non-invasive cosmetic procedure with minimal side effects. However, it’s quite normal to experience the following:
Day 1-3
Your skin may feel tight, dry or sensitive to touch. Treat the skin gently by washing with a gentle cleanser, cool water, and using only your hands to pat dry no earlier than 4 hours after treatment.
Some redness may also be present and in some cases, patients may experience slight bruising that can last for 5-7 days and temporary swelling for 2-4 days.
Tips
- Avoid strenuous exercises that cause sweating as well as jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for up to 48 hours.
- Use only mineral makeup after 24 hours.
For best results: We recommend 3-5 treatments, every 4-6 weeks, depending on your personalized care plan.
