Microneedling can also be paired with topical skin care products. To help skin heal, SkinCeuticals expert Erica Martin suggests using Hydrating B5 Gel immediately after microneedling, and applying C E Ferulic and Triple Lipid Restore 24 hours later. With multiple types of microneedling available, TV personality Leah McSweeney joins us to talk about her experience trying Vivace radiofrequency microneedling—from what the treatment feels like to the results she saw immediately.
