What to Expect after Microneedling

Understanding the Healing Process: What to Expect After Microneedling

At Aesthetics at 51, your comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Microneedling is a transformative treatment known for its effectiveness in rejuvenating the skin, but as with any aesthetic procedure, it's essential to understand the healing process and potential side effects.

Typical Side Effects:

Redness and Swelling: Just like any skincare treatment that involves skin stimulation, it's common to experience some redness and swelling post-treatment. This is your skin's natural response as it starts the rejuvenation process.

Sensitivity and Discomfort: Your skin may feel tender or slightly uncomfortable immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.

Itching: As the skin heals, you might experience some itching. This is typically a sign of the skin repairing itself.

Duration of Side Effects:

Most clients find that any redness or swelling subsides within 24 hours. However, everyone's skin is unique; on rare occasions, these effects may last longer. This is still within the normal range of the skin's healing response.

Aftercare Tips:

Keep the skin hydrated and use the post-treatment products I recommend.

Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Refrain from using makeup or exfoliating products briefly, as advised.

When to Seek Advice:

If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, or any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. It's essential to address any issues promptly to ensure the best possible outcome for your skin.

The Bright Side:

While these side effects are part of the process, they are temporary. The results – smoother, firmer, and clearer skin – are worth it. Microneedling is a powerful way to unlock your skin's potential, and I'm here to guide you through every step of your skincare journey.
