Microneedling Aftercare

How to take care of your skin after microneedling

Days 1-3

WHEN

Rinse your skin with lukewarm water once an hour for 3 hours post-microneedling. Then, just once in the evening and in the morning.

HOW

Cleanse with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser.

Please make sure everything that touches your skin is clean: hands, towels, pillowcases, lovers, etc. 

  1. After cleansing, apply a thin layer of single-ingredient oil on damp skin (preferably squalane oil) to seal the water into your skin.
  2. Follow with a thin layer of a protective ointment.
  3. If you go outside days 1-4 post treatment, you MUST wear SPF 50 and reapply every 2 hours. You MUST also wear a hat or cover your face from sun exposure.

Days 4-7 Post-Treatment

  1. You may resume cleansing your skin as you normally do.
  2. You can resume using your serums/moisturizers provided they do not have active ingredients such as vitamin C, retinoids or chemical exfoliants.
  3. If your skin still feels sensitive, continue using the squalane oil and a little bit of ointment when you feel you need it.
  4. When you feel that your skin is feeling good (no longer sensitive) AND that your skin is no longer flaking (if it did) - normally around day 5-7,  you can use the enzyme peel provided in your kit to remove the last of the flaking skin. 


INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ENZYME PEEL
After cleansing in the evening, apply the enzyme gel and gently massage your face with it for 1-3 minutes. You will eventually feel the dead skin cells “balling up”. Rinse and resume your skincare routine.

Day 7 and Beyond

You can use ALL your skincare like you normally do. 

Remember to wear your SPF every day and enjoy that post-microneedling glow!

Additional Information

No picking !

Do not pick at flaking skin! This can result in scarring, infection, pigmentation and discolouration.

No scrubbing!

Do not scrub or exfoliate your skin (even if it's a little dry and flaky).

No working out!

Avoid working out, sweating, pools, saunas, swimming in the ocean for 24-48h post-microneedling.

Don't forget sunscreen!

Use SPF 30 or higher consistently throughout the day, every day.

Stay hydrated!

Please keep your skin well hydrated by drinking at least three 8-ounce glasses of water per day, and moisturizing when needed. Your skin should never be super dry.

No waxing or tanning!

Avoid waxing & self tanning for three weeks.
Please Note

What to Expect During the Healing Process

  1. Your skin may be red/pînk and sensitive for 1-3 days. It will look and feel as if you got a mild sunburn.
  2. Depending on your skin and the strength of the treatment, your skin may flake starting day 2 post-treatment up to 7 days post-treatment.  (Not everyone's skin will flake and that is totally normal!)
  3. You can expect your skin to feel completely normal (and glowy!) about 7-10 days post treatment.
  4. Your skin will be very sensitive to the sun. In the week following your treatment, you MUST wear SPF 30 sunscreen, and reapply it every 2 hours. You should also cover up with a hat when spending time outside. Sun exposure will damage your skin and negate the positive effects of the treatment, and possibly create negative side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots).  
  5. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns during the healing process. You can call or text us anytime at 778-860-3177.
