Down Time
Depending on your skin goal, down time may vary. The general rule is that the skin may stay red for 2-3 hours post treatment. Is some cases redness are gone after the treatment. Even though the redness have subsided, the skin is still going through a process which may or may not be visible.
What can be expected during down time?
Slightly red skin (flushed appearance), warm to the touch. A semi-sun burnt feeling. After the redness subsides you may experience slightly dryer skin. This is because the skin is going through a cell renewal process and the dead damaged cells are being removed.
Post Microneedling Tips
Use SPF daily. Get yourself a barrier repair cream. Avoid strong or harsh ingredients on the skin for up to 5 days. Stay out of direct sunlight pre and post treatment until skin barrier function is intact.
