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.

When to Contact Your Provider:

  • If you experience excessive swelling, bleeding, blistering, or any signs of infection, please contact our office immediately.

Expected Results:

  • You may start to see improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few weeks. Optimal results are often observed after a series of treatments.

Remember, your skin needs time to heal and regenerate after microneedling. By following these aftercare instructions, you can help ensure the best possible outcome from your treatment.
