I had a microneedling procedure done 2 days ago for the first time. My skin is still very red and rough in texture. It feels like I have a rash. I'm scared I had an allergic reaction to something she put on my face, like the numbing creams or something else. Is it normal to have red and rough skin about 40hours after procedure? if I had an allergic reaction, what should I do? Ive been putting coconut oil on my face to try to sooth it. Any advice would be appreciated!

Answer: Dry skin after microneedling It is very normal to experience dry skin up to 2-3 days after microneedling. In my practice I recommend my patients to moisturize with my own Vitamin C serum since it is very soothing, non acidic and has hyaluronic acid to bring moisture to the skin. I also recommend a good quality sun block.

Answer: Microneedling Patients can expect some redness, dryness, and even flaking for a few days post-microneedling. The majority of my patients are able to return to work with no "evidence" in 3 days. We encourage patients to use products that are geared for moisturizing and healing after treatment. In our office we offer several product lines so that we can customize products for each patients' needs.
