Thank you for your question. After microneedling, it is crucial that you avoid the sun for at least threedays, and do not apply any product to your face for at least 24 hours. These are all post-treatment basics that should have been explained to you by the provider performing the procedure. In the future, if you decide to have another microneedling procedure, make sure that your provider gives you explicitinstructions and that you follow them closely, so that you receive the results you desire, and your skincondition is not worsened. Good luck!

Hi carolruth,If there's one thing you can learn about preventing signs of aging including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and rough spots, it is to avoid sun exposure. After microneedling, your skin is raw and it is not advisable to go out in full sun - even when wearing sunscreen.Stick to post microneeeding instructions to a T if you want to ensure that you get the best results possible.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
