What NOT to Do Before & After Microneedling
Before we talk about what you should do, let’s start with the big NOs to keep your skin happy:
Before your session:
No sunbathing or tanning beds for at least 24 hours before.
Skip retinol, exfoliants, and strong acids a few days prior.
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (like aspirin) to reduce potential bruising.
After your session:
No makeup for 24-48 hours (your skin is healing, let it breathe!).
Stay away from the sun.
Wear SPF 30+ religiously.
No sweating, saunas, or workouts for at least 24 hours (yes, that means gym rats need a break!).
Hands off! No touching, picking, or scratching your face.
Avoid harsh skincare like retinoids, exfoliants, and vitamin C for a week.
Now, Here’s How to Keep That Glow Going! 🌟
✅ Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink plenty of water and use a soothing, hydrating serum (hyaluronic acid is your bestie!).
✅ Gentle cleansing Wash your face with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
✅ Moisturize like a pro Your skin needs extra love, so opt for a ceramide-rich moisturizer.
✅ Sun protection is a MUST SPF isn’t optional, it’s the law of good skin! ☀️
✅ Patience is key Your skin may feel sensitive, a little red, or slightly tight for a few days. That’s normal! Healing takes time.
✅ Give it time before your next session Wait 3 to 6 weeks before your next microneedling appointment to let your skin fully recover.
