If you've had microneedling or are considering booking a treatment, understanding your microneedling aftercare is an important part of getting the best possible experience. Microneedling creates tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the skin's natural repair process. Because your skin has been treated, it may be more sensitive immediately afterwards and needs time to recover. Knowing what to do - and what to avoid - can help support your skin while it heals.
