Can makeup be applied after microneedling procedures?

Hi, We don't often advise makeup to be applied directly after this particular treatment for 12 hours. However Jane Iredale makeup with is a mineral makeup could safely be worn if necessary.Hope this helps

Thank you for your question,
It is recommended that patients do not apply makeup for 12 hours following a microneedling treatment. Try to keep the skin hydrated and avoid time in the sun for best results. 

Microneedling creates very tiny openings in the skin and it is important to follow the physician's directions after the procedure. But in my experience I allow my patients to apply makeup 3 hours after microneedling because the sites of injections will close immediately right after. After microneedling the most important thing to keep in mind is hydration of the skin and sun avoidance.
Good luck.

I typically recommend 12 hours without makeup- partially to keep either the platelet rich plasma (as with vampire facial) or other serums on the face. The microchannels formes with microneedling allow serums or growth factors etc to reach the dermis, which is the deeper part of your skin, to stimulate collagen growth. After about 12 hours I recommend only mineral based makeup for about 3-4 days. Hope this helps 

In short, yes. A special colour matched make up called LYCOGEL is ideal. Normal make up can not be worn as it impairs wound healing. Be guided by your Specialist, kind regards. 

Hi Destini08, I would strongly advise against using make-up after microneedling. Your face would have minute wounds or microtunnels from the needles which could get easily infected from the make-up. This is a time for your face to heal and grow collagen. In a few days, flaking will follow redness. In about a week, check with your provider if you can go back to your regular skincare and make-up.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
