MICRONEEDLING

What to Expect After Microneedling

Microneedling is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment for fine lines, lax facial skin, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), and acne scars.

During your microneedling treatment a medical aesthetician creates tiny pricks in the skin using micro-fine needles. This process activates the body’s wound healing process, thereby stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Medical aesthetician Our Aestheticians has helped hundreds of women achieve more toned, refined facial skin – while removing wrinkles, scars, fine lines and dark spots – with microneedling in our Birmingham, MI area MedSpa.

In this article Ramon explains what to expect after your microneedling treatments.

1. Microneedling Results are Immediate!

Immediately after microneedling you will instantly notice how radiant your skin looks. While some patients experience a bit of redness right after treatment, it subsides rapidly to reveal a dewy, glowing complexion. You will also see and a new plumpness to your skin.

Over time as the collagen and elastin regenerates, you will see even greater results. Most patients benefit from treatment every month, or every other month.

2. Hydration is Key after Microneedling

For maximum results, it is important to keep your skin hydrated after your Microneedling treatment. Our talented licensed medical aesthetician Ramon a will supply you with a special formula tailored to your skin to apply daily.

You should also skip using any harsh or abrasive products, including scrubs, exfoliators and alcohol-based toners, until your skin has healed completely from the microneedling.

Try to wait at least 24 hours before applying cosmetics to the microbladed area, as well, including foundation, blush or bronzers. This enables the skin to heal without the introduction of possible contaminants or bacteria.

3. Take it Easy for 24 Hours after Microneedling

Your skin will need time to heal after microneedling, so it’s important to avoid exercise or any activities that will cause you to sweat, for at least 24 hours afterward. This includes avoiding saunas and hot tubs too. Additionally you should keep out of direct sunlight following microneedling treatment, since both heat and UV exposure can trigger skin irritation.
