Can you wear makeup 3 days after subcision?

Question

For acne scars I had subscision and filler can I wear makeup on my face over the scars 3 days later?

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, if the skin has reepithelialized in the area where the subscision instrument has entered the skin, you can wear makeup. This usually takes between 1 and 4 days. However, if the internal subcision technique was also employed, there may be stitches. Should that be the case no makeup should be applied near the incision. Finding acne scar expert.

Definitely ask your clinician about this to stick to their regimen.I also recommend that people wait for makeup for 24 hours. Subcision is typically performed using a needle under the skin to divide the layers of the skin, allowing it to redrape (sit down nicer). Some patients may get a small bruise, especially if multiple subcisions are done close together. The first night, you should wash your face with a gentle cleanser (nothing harsh). In about 24 hours, the skin should have healed effectively. I always implore that everyone use common sense. If it does not look ready for makeup, then probably wait another day.

YES, every specialist will have their own protocol, personally I would contact your dermatologist or plastics out of professional courtesy before answering this question. In my practice, yes, I tell patients NO make up for 24 hours post surgical subcsion. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim
