Hello, my name is Ranen and I work at Dr. Anil Shah's office.  When you get your microneedling you should wait about 3-4 weeks for your skin to heal before getting Pico laser done.

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Following a microneedling procedure with 2mm needles, it is generally recommended to allow the skin to fully heal before undergoing any other treatments such as pico laser. This healing period typically takes around 4-6 weeks, depending on the individual's skin healing ability.
However, it's important to note that everyone's skin is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Always consult with your healthcare provider or a skincare professional before scheduling these treatments to ensure the best results and to avoid any potential skin damage.

After Secret RF microneedling, many times we use laser right after the procedure as a great adjunct!

J. Renee Booth, MD · Answer

I recommend waiting at least 3 weeks to allow the skin to heal well. Healing takes longer than what meets the eye since the body continues to remodel and exchange collagen types over many months. In studying wounds, we have found the full healing process happens over a year for full-thickness incisions. Microneedling causes superficial, punctate wounds. There is healthy tissue in between affected areas. These factors lead to a faster healing process, but it still requires time.
