Microneedling For Skin Rejuvenation and Scar Treatment
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This minimally invasive treatment improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks, and enhances the absorption of skincare products, offering a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.
Microneedling Aftercare: What To Do & What To Avoid After Your Treatment
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, acne scars, and boosting collagen. If you’ve just had microneedling at Evercare Wellness & Aesthetics, or you’re considering booking, it’s important to follow the right aftercare steps to maximize your results and keep your skin healthy.
Here’s your easy-to-follow microneedling aftercare guide, including what you should and shouldn’t do post-treatment:
✅ Microneedling Aftercare – DO:
• Wash your face with a gentle cleanser
Stick with a fragrance-free, non-exfoliating cleanser for the first few days to avoid irritation.
• Apply a moisturizer daily
Hydration is key after microneedling. Use a calming, non-comedogenic moisturizer to support healing.
• Wear sunblock daily
Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun. Apply SPF 30+ every morning—rain or shine!
• Avoid direct sunlight
Try to stay indoors or wear a wide-brim hat and sunglasses when outside to protect your healing skin.
• Increase your water intake
Staying well-hydrated promotes faster healing and glowing, healthy skin from the inside out.
❌ Microneedling Aftercare – DON’T:
• Don’t use liquid makeup for at least 4 days
Allow your skin to breathe and avoid clogging your pores with foundation or concealer.
• Avoid exercise for 72 hours
Sweating can lead to irritation or breakouts. Skip the gym and intense activity for a few days.
• No swimming, saunas, or jacuzzis
For at least 72 hours, avoid any activity that may expose your skin to heat, chlorine, or bacteria.
• Don’t use retinol or Vitamin C for 2 weeks
These active ingredients can be too harsh on freshly microneedled skin. Wait until your skin barrier has fully healed.
• Avoid chemical peels or laser treatments for 60 days
Give your skin time to fully recover before undergoing any other intensive treatments.
When Will I See Results?
Most clients begin noticing smoother, firmer skin within a week of treatment. However, the full benefits of microneedling—especially for scarring and texture—often appear over the course of 4–6 weeks as new collagen develops. If you’re preparing for an event, we recommend planning ahead!
FAQs About Microneedling Aftercare
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
You should wait at least 4 days before applying any liquid makeup to allow your skin to fully heal and reduce the risk of clogged pores or infection.
How soon can I go back to the gym?
Avoid strenuous workouts and sweating for at least 72 hours. This helps prevent irritation and bacterial exposure to your skin.
What skincare should I avoid?
Avoid active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin C for two weeks post-treatment. Stick with gentle, hydrating products.
Why can’t I swim or use a sauna?
Microneedling opens micro-channels in the skin, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and heat. Avoiding pools, saunas, and hot tubs reduces the chance of infection and inflammation.
Can I do laser or chemical peels soon after microneedling?
No—your skin needs time to fully recover. Wait at least 60 days before scheduling another intensive skin treatment.
