Microneedling Aftercare Instructions
Thank you for choosing [Your Clinic's Name] for your microneedling treatment. To ensure the best possible results and a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare instructions closely:
Immediately After Treatment:
Skin Sensitivity: Your skin will appear red and may feel like it’s sunburned. This is normal and will decrease within 24 to 48 hours.
Hydration: Apply a hyaluronic acid serum to keep the treated area hydrated. Avoid using any harsh skincare products.
First 24 Hours:
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours after your treatment to prevent clogging the microchannels created by microneedling.
Sun Protection: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Avoid direct sunlight and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
For the Next 2-3 Days:
Gentle Skincare: Use a gentle cleanser and continue applying hyaluronic acid. Avoid using retinoids, topical antibiotics, or exfoliating agents until the skin has fully healed.
No Strenuous Exercise: Avoid heavy workouts, swimming, and saunas for 2-3 days post-treatment to prevent irritation and increased redness.
Next 7 Days:
Avoid Exfoliation: Do not use exfoliating products or tools for at least a week to allow your skin to heal properly.
Continue Sun Protection: Keep applying sunscreen daily to protect the new skin.
General Tips:
Moisturize: Keep the skin well-moisturized to speed up the healing process.
Avoid Picking: Do not pick at peeling or flaking skin, which can occur as your skin heals.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help your skin heal.
