What are the risks of going to a tanning bed after a professional microneedling session?

Hello and thank you for your question! The risks of exposing your skin to the sun or a tanning bed could lead to complications such as hyperpigmentation and healing issues. Sun exposure should be minimum to nil after a microneedling treatment for at least one week. For the weeks following as well, I would err on the side of caution and protect the skin with a tri-level sunscreen with UVA/UVB, and infrared protection and also staying away from exfoliating products. I suggest following up with your provider on the changes that have occurred with your skin. I hope this helps!
