Your Microneedling Post-Care Guide
- Keep the treated area clean by washing with freshly washed hands and mild cleanser, such as EltaMd Foaming Cleanser or SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser, twice a day.
- Do not use a washcloth or sponge to remove soap.
- Do not use acne cleansers, astringents or anti-aging products.
- Dry the area completely after washing by gently blotting with a clean tissue.
- Only wear mineral makeup.
- Sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize pain and swelling.
- Avoid recreational water activities such as saunas, hot steam showers, and swimming.
- Avoid vigorous activities that will make you sweat.
- Flaking may occur and is natural. Do NOT pick, scratch, or scrub your skin. Allow it to flake off naturally.
- Avoid hot steam showers as they can cause dehydrated skin and inflammation/cellular breakdown.
- Once your skin is no longer red, you may resume your regular skincare routine.
- You may use a supportive ceramide moisturizer such as SkinBetter Trio or NeoCutis Bio Cream.
- After the 7 days healing period, always use a sunblock to protect from sun damage. We recommend EltaMD Clear.
- In order to best support your healing and increase results, we recommend using a growth factor and peptide boosting treatment such as NeoCutis Bio Serum daily.
