I did microneedling + mild chemical peel 3 days ago. Is this normal healing or a burn? (photo)

Microneedling a great procedure for facial texture rejuvenation. Redness is a healthy response. This is a sign of mild inflammation that is done on purpose to stimulate collagen formation and stimulate your own body's growth factors. The result is a healthy skin. I strongly advise that during this active process after the procedure, you protect your skin from the sun by wearing a sun block with high Zinc Oxide. Protect your open pores from infection by avoiding the gym or avoiding swimming for at least 7 days post procedure. I recommend applying growth factors ( like Zo Skin health growth factor) to help collagen formation. You can also apply Vit C serum  ( Skin Ceutical'S  CE Ferrulic) for hyperpigmentation treatment.

Dear NY,Microneedling and peels can be done together at the same time.Peeling varies dramatically between different concentrations of peels. Some peel a lot, and some very little. Some with a lot of redness and some with very little.A skin evaluation in office, and skin protection from the sun would be recommended.Best. Dr Brecht
