Microneedling is a powerful treatment for skin rejuvenation, but achieving the best results requires proper aftercare. At LAVISHiBROWS in Winter Garden, Florida, we guide you through every step of the process, including essential post-treatment care. In this blog post, we’ll provide detailed aftercare tips to help you maximize the benefits of your microneedling treatment.
Immediate Aftercare: The First 24 Hours
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area to prevent infection and irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the healing process.
Avoid Makeup: Do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
Days 1-7: Supporting the Healing Process
Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser to wash your face. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants that could irritate the skin.
Moisturize: Keep your skin well-moisturized with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to promote healing and prevent dryness.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from the sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a hat if necessary.
Avoid Sweating: For the first few days, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as vigorous exercise or sauna use, as sweat can irritate the treated skin.
Long-Term Aftercare
Continue Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from UV damage is crucial even after the initial healing period. Make sunscreen a part of your daily skincare routine.
Hydrate and Nourish: Keep your skin hydrated and nourished with quality skincare products that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants.
Follow-Up Treatments: Depending on your skin goals, multiple microneedling sessions may be recommended. Follow your technician’s advice on the frequency of treatments to achieve optimal results.
