Can I use Hydroquinone 4 weeks after a prp microneedling treatment ?

Dear Ebony11:Absolutely no problem with hydroquinone after you have recovered from the #microneedling procedure!  All the best,  Dr. Clark

Thank you for your message! I would definitely contact your provider in terms of their specific aftercare instructions. Often times, darker skin tones carry a risk of hyperpigmentation after treatments such as microneedling. We usually have patients with a certain ethnicity or darker skin tones prepare their skin for treatment with a cream such as HQ and recommend they use it after the treatment as well to help ward off this risk. If it has been 4 weeks since your PRP treatment you are able to use your HQ, however if you have any questions I would definitely follow up with your provider! 

Hi! Thanks for your question! Yes, you can useHydroquinone or even go back to your usual routine at least after 72 hoursafter your PRP Microneedling session. This is a general timeline when you cango back to using other skin care products. However, it is also very importantto note what your board certified medical professional advises you to do. Thereare some instances when patients are required to wait for more than 72 hours.In this case, it would be best to discuss and consult with a doctor so he orshe may give accurate recommendations.
In your case though, since 4 weeks have alreadyelapsed, you can definitely go back to your old skin care routine. Your skinhas completely healed by this time and using other skin care products will doyou no harm or contraindication with the treatment that you have undergoneprior.

Yes, a month after treatment your skin has had time to heal. In fact, 48 hours after treatment our patients may resume their normal skin care routine. 

Yes! You can absolutely continue your HQ products as soon as 5 days after your microneedling treatment.If you are looking for a great HQ product, I highly recommend ZO Skin Health  Melamin and Melamix. You can go to the ZO Skin Health website for more information.

Yes you can absolutely return to using HQ after microneedling.  We now in the office actually microneedle in an aqueous based HQ at the time of treatment for patients who are using the treatment to break up pigmentation.  All we ask is to only use a pure hyaluronic gel for the first 24 hours and then give them permission to return to all skin care products except for products containing Retin A, any glycolics or abrasive scrubs.

Yes, absolutely... no problems with HQ and this treatment. I normally start HQ at the 5-7 day mark when your skin start healing. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser dermatologist Brisbane, Australia.
