Hi ayousif, Remember that microneedling creates microwounds and tunnels that can make your skin sensitive and  prone to infection. In fact, you might be sensitive to skincare you had used in the past. Follow your doctor's advice to a T. Protocols have been established to produce the best results and can include sunscreen and hydrating but non-irritating skincare.Allow your ski to recover and benefit from the release of growth factors. You'll see a new radiance a week or two after microneedling.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.

You must be very careful to use only serums that are specifically made to be safely used together with microneedling as these treatments enhance penetration into the skin of topically applied serums. In my office, we do our microneedling treatments using the ProCell Therapies system which contains growth factor serums made from human bone marrow stem cells. These serums are specifically made to be safely introduced into the skin.
