Should I Get Microneedling? 

Microneedling is an innovative skin-revitalizing treatment that was first introduced about two decades ago. Since then, microneedling has been steadily refined to effectively help rejuvenate skin and fight lines and wrinkles. Microneedling works by using tiny sterile needles to prick the skin, causing a controlled injury without hurting the epidermis. This type of controlled injury boosts the skin to create collagen-rich tissue that is much more even in tone and texture, resulting in a much more healthy and youthful appearance.

Microneedling has been used to help with skin problems, such as: 

• Reducing the appearance of scars
• Stretch marks 
• Minimizing pore texture 
• Age spots
• Acne scars 
• Fine lines and wrinkles 
• Reduced skin elasticity 

If you’ve been feeling like your skin issues are starting to affect your day-to-day, a microneedling treatment may be the best choice for you. At The Studio Med Spa, our licensed professionals work with clients to provide microneedling that is safe, thorough, and effective. The actual microneedling process usually takes only about 30 minutes, with some prep being done to avoid any symptoms of pain or discomfort during the microneedling process. Consult with an expert at The Studio Med Spa to learn more about this process and book your initial appointment! 

How Can I Take Care of My Skin After a Microneedling Treatment? 

So you’ve gotten through the professional microneedling treatment and are now reaping the rewards of glowing skin. What can you do next? While the results of a microneedling session can last for weeks, there are certain steps you should take after treatment to boost skin and also avoid any problems with your bright and youthful complexion. Some steps of care to take include: 

Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen!

We cannot stress enough the importance of sunscreen after a microneedling service. Skin is fairly sensitive to the skin after a microneedling session, so you need to liberally apply sunscreen throughout the skin when you are going out after microneedling. Make sure to aim for SPF30 or higher. 

Skip Makeup For a Day or Two 

Your skin barrier is healing after microneedling, and it is best to let your skin breathe for a day or two after the treatment is complete. Applying makeup right after microneedling can impact pores and possibly cause even further irritation, so it is best to wait it out for a day or two. 

Use Gentle Cleansers 

While it is recommended to not wash the face for about 72 hours after a microneedling procedure, once you do, make sure to go for gentle cleansers. These cleansers will usually be fragrance-free and specify that they are for gentle skin. 

Hydrate!

Skin cells are regenerating after microneedling. This is why hydration is key. While your skin is regenerating healthier and firmer tissue, you will want to support your skin by constantly drinking water. It is essential to up your water intake and decrease caffeine and alcohol drinking during the first few days after your microneedling procedure. 

What Should I Avoid Doing? 

There are so many right steps to take after microneedling for the benefit of your skin. Unfortunately, there are also quite a few things to avoid doing in order to keep any further distress from coming upon your skin or irritating the tissue as well. You may be tempted to do some of these, but it is best to go out of your way not to. Some of the habits many patients are recommended not to do after a microneedling service include:

• Going out into the bright sun without sunscreen 
• Using possibly irritant skin products in the next few days after microneedling, such as exfoliants, chemical cleansers, and retinoids 
• Avoid strenuous exercising that results in a lot of sweat, as this can clog pores and cause further infections and breakouts
• Avoid skin care devices for the next few days, including gua shas, jade rollers, and other circulation-boosting tools, as these can also cause infection
