๐ง Your skin can look worse before it starts looking better after microneedling
Thatโs why it helps to know what to expect during the first few days after your session so you donโt mistake normal, temporary reactions for something going wrong
โฐ 0 to 24 hours
Your skin may feel more sensitive as it begins to recover
Increased blood flow supports the skinโs initial healing response
โฐ 24 to 48 hours
Redness may gradually subside
Your skinโs natural repair and renewal process continues
โฐ 48 to 72 hours
Your skin continues its natural renewal process as tissue remodeling progresses
You may notice:

โจ Dryness or flakiness
โจ Mild swelling
โจ Mild Itchiness

These can be common and temporary during recovery
While your skin is healing, give it time to recover ๐ฅฐ
โ Donโt touch, pick, or scratch your skin
โ Avoid exfoliants, acids, and retinoids
โ Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours
โ Avoid direct sun and heat exposure
โ Skip saunas, intense sweating, and swimming
โ Donโt rush the healing process
Keep your routine simple, soothing, and hydrating
๐ Healing is just as important as the microneedling session itself
Proper aftercare is part of the process too
