I've read sources say anywhere from 12 hrs to one week. How long do I need to wait before I can safely apply chemical sunscreen post-treatment? I know physical sunscreen is recommended directly after, but I much prefer to use my chemical sunscreen as it is 5x cheaper and clear on my face. Thank you!

Answer: Sunscreen after microneedling This is a great question. I would wait at least 24 hours before applying any sunscreen. Microneedling creates microbial wounds in the skin to help self healing of the skin and reproduce collagen, its very important to keep the skin clean and fresh after the treatment.

Answer: Sunscreen Hi, I do not recommend putting on sunscreen for the first 24 hours after microneedling. Wear a hat, and avoid the sun. Use what is directed. After the 24 hours, I'd recommend mineral sunscreen (Avene makes a great one that's reasonably priced). After 3 days, you can go back to using your chemical sunscreen.Best,Dr. Huo
