Microneedling: What to Expect

After undergoing microneedling, individuals can anticipate a series of post-treatment effects and changes in the skin. It’s important to note that these experiences can vary from person to person. Here’s a general overview of what to expect after micro needling:

1. Redness and Swelling: 

Immediately after microneedling,you might notice a flush or some swelling on your skin. This is a natural response to the micro-injuries created during the procedure.

2. Sensitivity: 

It’s important to handle the skin with care. Avoid harsh products or vigorous scrubbing because the treated area may feel more sensitive than usual. 

3. Tiny Scabs :  

Depending on the depth of the treatment, small scabs or peeling may occur. This is part of the skin’s healing process and should not be picked at to prevent scarring.

4. Tightness:

Sometimes, you might feel a sensation of tightness in the treated area. This is normal and typically resolves as the skin heals.

6. Dryness: 

Your skin might be drier than usual following microneedling. Hydrating the skin with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer is recommended.

Microneedling Facial Post-Care Instructions

1. Cleansing

Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild soap and apply a gentle moisturizer.     Avoid harsh or abrasive products for the first few days. It’s essential to avoid engaging in activities that could heat your skin, like using a hot tub, taking an excessively hot shower, or exercising for the first two days

2. Hands Off

Refrain from touching, picking, or scratching the treated area. This helps prevent infection and ensures the skin heals undisturbed.

3. Moisturize 

Apply a soothing and hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin moisturized. Opt for a product recommended by our skincare professional, and avoid anything with harsh chemicals or fragrances.

4. Sun Protection

Shield the treated area from direct sun exposure for the first 2 weeks after microneedling. If you need to go outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, and consider wearing a hat or using other protective clothing. But make sure to use approved physical defense sunscreen. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside and reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. 

5. Avoid Makeup: 

Steer clear of makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe. Once you resume makeup application, ensure your products are clean and of high quality.

6. Skip Strenuous Activities: 

Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercises or activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. Sweating can irritate the treated skin.

7. Hydrate: 

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Hydration is key to supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

8. Follow Professional Advice:

Follow the recommendations of our skincare specialist at Elif Yener Beauty Center. If they have provided specific post-treatment instructions, be sure to adhere to them diligently. These guidelines are designed to cater to the unique needs of your skin and the specific type of microneedling performed by Elif Yener Beauty Center.

9. Avoid Excercise 

When you work out, the blood flow increases to the specific area you’re exercising, making your skin feel more tender and swollen. It’s advisable to give your body 48 to 72 hours after the workout to fully recover from the treatment. During this time, your skin gets a chance to heal and reduce any discomfort or swelling.

FAQ 

1. Why My Skin Looks Worse After Microneedling?

   After microneedling, it’s not uncommon for the skin to appear slightly worse initially. This can be due to temporary redness, swelling, or minor irritation, which are typical reactions to the treatment. However, these effects are usually short-lived, and as the skin heals, you should start to see positive results, such as improved texture and tone.

4. How Soon Can I Shower After Microneedling?

5. Should I Drink Water After Microneedling?

Staying hydrated is essential after microneedling. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps support the body’s natural healing processes and contributes to the overall well-being of your skin. Aim to maintain good hydration levels in the days following the procedure. 6. How Often Should You Do Microneedling?
