Glycolic acid 12% cream after RF microneedling?

Question

I have done my first RF microneedling for large pores and scars. So, Can I use 12% glycolic acid cream after the treatment?

Farooq Lateef, MD · Answer

It is not advisable to use glycolic acid or any other type of exfoliating products right after a microneedling procedure as it can cause additional dryness and irritiation. Apply suncreen with a minimum SPF 30 and use a gentle, non-exfoliating cleanser before bed if you were not given a post-procedure kit to use at home. You may restart using your exfoliating products as usual one week after the procedure.
All the best,
Dr. Lateef
