Post Treatment Care
Microneedling
Why it matters.
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using the SkinPen device. These microchannels stimulate collagen and elastin production but also temporarily compromise the skin barrier. Due to the compromised exposure of the microchannels, we highly recommend following the post treatment care guidelines to minimise risks and improve results.
Care Guidelines.
Do not touch, rub, or apply makeup to the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Keep the skin clean and avoid sweating, swimming, or heavy exercise for 24–48 hours.
Apply only the aftercare serum or product provided/recommended by the clinic.
Avoid active skincare (AHAs, BHAs, retinol, vitamin C) for at least 5–7 days.
Use SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure
In-Clinic Support.
Book LED Light Therapy within the first week to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.
Schedule your post-treatment follow-up to review skin response.
Plan next microneedling session (usually 4–6 weeks apart) or follow your customised treatment plan for optimal outcomes.
Concerns.
Mild redness, swelling, and peeling are expected in the first few days. Contact the clinic if you experience severe pain, persistent bleeding, signs of infection (such as pus or spreading redness), or any concerns outside the normal healing process.
What to expect.
It is normal to experience redness, sensitivity, and a mild sunburn-like feeling for 24–48 hours post treatment. Some clients may notice light swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or skin tightness. Flaking or mild peeling can occur after a few days as the skin begins its renewal process. Improvements to skin tone and texture will become more noticeable in the following weeks.
Day 1–2 (am/pm): Gentle cleanse with water or approved cleanser. Apply only post-treatment serum. No makeup. SPF applied in the morning.
Day 3–4 (am/pm): Continue gentle cleanse and serum. Introduce a light, hydrating moisturiser. SPF applied in the morning.
Day 5–7 (am/pm): Resume normal cleanser and hydrator. Introduce mild actives if no irritation. SPF applied in the morning.
Day 8-Ongoing: Return to full skincare routine. Clinic-recommended serums or antioxidants may further support results.
Incorporating Skincare.
Results from microneedling build gradually as collagen and elastin production increases. Improvements typically last several months and can be maintained with repeat treatments. A consistent skincare routine and protection against sun damage help extend results.
