What You Can and Can’t Do After a Microneedling Treatment

Nov 1

Microneedling is a procedure that has shown much popularity and progress in recent years – though it has been around longer than we realize. This is a beauty procedure that uses tiny needles to induce our body’s anti-inflammatory response while boosting collagen production.

One of the treatments we offer at our beauty spa in Scottsdale is none other than microneedling, and the result can leave you with radiant-looking and younger skin. Plus, you can enjoy a healthier skin texture while improving your blood circulation.

Aloe Beauty Spa offers one of the premier microneedling treatments in Scottsdale, and we’re going to tell you what you and can’t do after going through this procedure.

What You Can Expect After a Microneedling Treatment in Scottsdale

Once your microneedling treatment is done, there are a few things that you have to keep in mind to ensure that the healing process goes smoothly.

Our skin would require special care during this recovery process, but worry not for this can only feel like you’re taking care of a sunburn. So it’s best to stay in an airy location and avoid the heat while staying away from using any products with toxins or abrasive chemicals.

As microneedling can leave our skin dry, drinking enough water is essential to stay hydrated so we can ensure that our body will produce healthier collagen cells. After all, these are key factors as to why most people go through microneedling treatments.

So what are other things that we can do in terms of our daily routine?

What Should You Put on Your Skin?

The first thing that you should do is apply a calming moisturizer to cool down any tingly sensation in your targeted area. As we have previously mentioned, your skin might be dry after microneedling, so it’s best to keep it hydrated using skincare products like the Moisture Aqua Serum by OxygenCeuticals.

Another thing to keep in mind is to never peel any scab on your face as this might cause irritation and leave a scar.

Getting Exposed to the Sun Post-Microneedling Treatment

In the first week of post-microneedling treatment, any kind of sun exposure should be avoided. It’s best to bear in mind that our skin is in such a delicate state, so if you’re not careful enough, our skin cells can be prone to sunburn and scarring.

If going outside is necessary, apply sunscreens with a high SPF rating – our favorite at Aloe Beauty Spa is none other than the TP Sun Cream SPF 50 by OxygenCeuticals. Avoid rubbing the creams; gently pat the products on your skin instead.

The best thing to do is minimize your sun exposure, and take indoor breaks whenever it’s possible.

When Can You Wash Your Face?

Washing your face after a microneedling treatment in Scottsdale can be done the next morning. According to our trusted estheticians at Aloe Beauty Spa, waiting until the very next morning can be a good time to reintroduce water and your facial cleanser into your routine.

However, it’s still best to avoid using powered face washes and loofahs for the next week.

When Can You Put Make-up On?

Like washing our face, putting on make-up can be done the next morning. Although it’s still best to avoid products like toners and scrubs which can potentially inflame our skin. So it’s recommended to stick to a more “natural look” if you really must put on some make-up.

Can You Do Your Work-Out After?

Once you’ve finished a microneedling treatment, waiting two to three days before working out is essential. It’s important to note that sweat can irritate the targeted treated area, which can potentially introduce bacteria into our skin. If you really must do any physical activity, try yoga or relaxing workouts that won’t cause you to sweat profusely.

Another activity to stay away from is swimming – avoid this at least 24 hours after your treatment.
