When can you peel off the dead skin on your face after microneedling?

Question

I had microneedling done but on day 4 I had a shower and washed my face with water and removed the skin from it. Will I still get maximum results for doing that or have I just wasted my money?

Thank you for your question. Ideally after Microneedling you do not want to pick or peel the skin. Just keep the skin moist and use cuticle scissors to cut the loose skin if necessary. But keeping the skin moist is the best aftercare.

Thanks for your question. The skin that falls off will have no effect on your final result. It is a natural part of your skin rejuvenation. I would recommend you continue the post-procedure skin care regimen you were given by your treatment provider. Warm regards.
