I just bought a .25 mm roller today and have been researching a lot so I don’t mess up my skin. I understand you are supposed to wear a SPF after, so I was wondering wearing a tinted moisturizer SPF would be ok? I know you can’t wear makeup but I use the tinted SPF everyday. I’m also still not sure if I can wear a moisturizer after because people keep giving me different answers. On a side note, how long should I wait to wear mineral based foundation?

Answer: Using sunscreen after microneedling I recommend that patients wait 24 hours prior to applying any skincare products including sunscreen to their face after microneedling treatment. Of course, these instructions apply to medical grade microneedling done by an experienced medical professional in an appropriate medical setting.

Answer: Micro needling and rollers and AFTERCARE- full explanation. If you could wait 24 hours till your skin heals, it will be OK. I have done many videos on this on YouTube as to how to roll, what to use, and the aftercare. Microneedling has come a long way over the past few years and can help skin via several methods. Firstly it releases cytokines and growth factors in the epidermis and dermis- the top and bottom layers of your skin. This in turn remodels scars and the dermal layer of the skin. Additionally needles can break up scars themselves. This leads to new collagen formation, and in practice can provide limited skin rejuvenation. Microneedling is both user dependent and method driven. Simple needles can be used, growth factors can be added after the procedure, including PRP, or controlled heating during the procedure. This controlled heating is delivered via RF, and is called RF microneedling. RF can then be delivered via insulated or insulated needles. Even the energy level, depths, density, pulse duration and so many other variables can be controlled. This together with the added benefits of growth factor infusion makes this one of the most complex procedures in procedural dermatology. I use everything from Dermapen, though to newer generation insulated and non-insulated devices including INFINI micro-needling radiofrequency, Intensif and others. Newer generation devices can provide an added advantage in some, but not all patients. In my practice, I combine microneedling with many different forms of energy devices, depending on the expectations of the patient. Tailored microneedling combination will always give the best results. Like most procedures, its 80% skill level of the specialist and 20% dependent on the brand of the energy device- microneedling system. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
