Microneedling Aftercare: 5 Tips for Long Lasting Results

Sep 6

You’ve done it! Microneedling may be a long and unfamiliar process, but you pulled through.

Now what? Well, next comes the aftercare stage.

Once you’ve completed a microneedling treatment from Aloe Beauty Spa in Scottsdale, there are a couple of things our skin specialists will let you know after.

While downtime is unnecessary with a microneedling treatment, your skin would still need time for healing to fully notice the fruits of its labor. To maximize the results and to take better care of your skin during the healing stage, here are 5 useful tips.

5 Microneedling Aftercare Tips for Better Results

Tip 1: Protect Your Skin for the First 72 Hours

If you’re someone that likes heavy workouts, saunas, or pools, then you might need to make adjustments to your schedule. Keep in mind that excessive sweating or pools can irritate your skin right after your treatment.

It is best to steer clear of these activities for the first four days.

Makeup is also not advised for the first 24 hours. Although, you may apply mineral-based products soon after the day-long wait.

Tip 2: Sunscreen is Your Friend

Skin after a microneedling treatment will be sensitive for the next few days. While many activities can be avoided, staying under the sun may not be one of them.

For protection against the harmful UV rays of the sun, sunscreen like the TP Sun Cream SPF 50 PA from OxygenCeuticals is your savior. Wear sunscreen between the hours of 10 am to 3 pm, even when the sun is not out. This is to prevent dryness and discoloration.

Tip 3: Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Keep your skin from drying out by putting on trusted skin care products for hydration. The skin after a microneedling treatment will absorb anti-aging products better, so now is the best time to take advantage of it.

The Age Defying Caviar Cream by OxygenCeuticals is rich in antioxidants for firmer and smoother skin. Then you can try the Caviar Protein Fluid by OxygenCeuticals for a beautiful lifting effect.

Tip 4: Wash Your Hands Regularly

People touch their faces almost without thinking about it every day. Because your skin is sensitive after the treatment, any grime or dirt you may have held may land on your face and may cause irritation. So it’s best to wash your hands before you wash your face.

Tip 5: Be Gentle and Patient

Microneedling may not be as instant as most would hope, but the results are worth the wait. Not only are there visible differences after the procedure, but your skin will feel very different as well.

As long as you follow these aftercare tips and the advice of your esthetician, you will surely see a major difference.
