Can I wash my face after microneedling?

Yes, you may wash your face if it’s been 8 hours. We usually recommend waiting 6 hours after treatment before washing your face. That allows the channels created to stay open and absorb the product/serum(s) applied before they seal shut. Once 6 hours have past, you’re well past that window and can proceed to cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser without risking washing away any serums.

Hi @andijjang! I recommend waiting 24 hours prior to washing your face. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

I would recommend a gentle facial wash. After skin treatments, I would recommend the Hydrase Soy Facial Cleanser to help cleanse the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your
question.A gentle cleanser can be used after a micro-needling treatment. To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. Depending on the depth of treatment the face can be washed with water in 4 to 8 hours, best to avoid any harsh products and follow the after care advise of the treating practitioner. The purpose is to minimise irritation and reduce chances of infections post treatment. Wish you all the best.
