Hello, Yesterday I got microneedling done on my face (.75mm-1.5mm). I have had laser work done and chemical peels, but the night after the procedure, this was far more painful! I couldn't even sleep at night and my face is very swollen. For those of you who perform this procedure, what type of moisturizer do you recommend? I was given Egyptian Magic to use but after some research, it seems like there are better products. Can I use products with Hyaluronic acid or lipids?
Had my first Micro Needling treatment a couple days ago. When do you start seeing the results. I was told not to do anything to my face for 3 days then apply Lotion P50 1970 by Biologique Recherch and a good Moisturizer. Large pores, acne scars and hyperpigmentation I went in for. Thanks Chris
I had microneedling done about 6 days ago at a reputable plastic surgeon's office. After this procedure (done in the morning) I made the mistake of putting on a heavy facial moisturizer that evening just before bed. Next day I woke up with a break out of sorts on my face. The breakout has lessened, and I have no itching, but my face is still quite red. Should I be concerned? And, would any kind of adverse affect like this, hamper the long term results of what is typically a good outcome for me?
I just bought a .25 mm roller today and have been researching a lot so I dont mess up my skin. I understand you are supposed to wear a SPF after, so I was wondering wearing a tinted moisturizer SPF would be ok? I know you cant wear makeup but I use the tinted SPF everyday. Im also still not sure if I can wear a moisturizer after because people keep giving me different answers. On a side note, how long should I wait to wear mineral based foundation?
I did microneedling for the first time 5 days ago. I was told by my doctor that I can wash my face with a gentle cleanser no sooner than 4 hours post-treatment. She did not specify whether it was safe to use moisturizer. Before bedtime (about 6 or 7 hours after treatment), I washed my face with Cetaphil and applied Aveeno Positively Radiant with SPF 30. I was not sure if this was okay but I knew I was also told to keep my face hydrated. Could this potentially be harmful?
The dr that did my microneedling (SkinPen at 2.5mm) said not to use my Equate Collagen Moisturizer or Equate Regenerating serum OR pure vitamin E that I had bought in preparation of this for at least 3 days following the treatment. Why is this? Can I use any of these products? Thanks!
So its been 4 days since I got microneedling done on my abdomen and I havent peeled. Ive been moisturizing everyday and it itches a little. I also havent noticed any scabs or red little dots. My skin color is brown. I was wondering do I have to peel or is this normal?
I have been curious about using micro needling for regular skin maintenance, but wonder if it may be overkill because I do not possess an orange peel complexion. I am 56. I am experiencing some skin laxity (slight jowling), fine lines, and some pores becoming more obvious in size, but I do not have a bad complexion. I use Retin-A at night with a moisturizer with AHA in it. During the day, I use a moisturizer with a sunscreen. Thank you for your attention to my question! :-)
