Hi, I am little bit concerned and not sure why my doctor decided to apply Retinal and 1 minute later chemical sunscreen in the office right after he finished microneedling I am concerned if Retinal was not too hard for the skin or if it is doing some damage inside? Same concern for the chemical sunscreen - still absorbed after Retinal? The retinal cream is from DP dermaceuticals (not sure which of 2 that are available now)thanks!
Hello! I got micro needling done and I am hearing conflicting advice on aftercare. A few hours after micro needling, about 3 or 4pm, I left the house and ran some errands and then stayed inside the rest of the night. The UV index was high, about a 9. I did not wear any spf after my micro needling. Now Im very worried that I further damaged my skin that I just got a procedure on as Microneedling makes you extra exposed to the sun and I didnt wear spf what is the correct after care with spf?
Hello doctors, I would like to know if tinted sunscreen is safe to use after microneedling. I'm aware that in the first 24 hours you aren't supposed to wear sunscreen as you need to let the skin heal but what about after 24 hours so the second day?
I had three sessions of microneedling done at local skin clinic.Now its been more than a year and my face is still red. during micro needling sessions , they avoided my eye area. so now my whole face is red , except the eye area . Everyone comments on my mismatched skin tone.I followed their aftercare advise , I avoided harsh chemicals , used sunscreen . what are my options , kindly advise.
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!
Is it unusual to see puncture marks 6 days following a microneedling session? The practitioner used 1.6mm depth pen with stem cell and hyaluronic serum. Post treatment I avoided makeup for 3 days, used a gentle cleanser and moisturized with a pure hyaluronic serum. Also am avoiding sun and use a broad spectrum SPF if I go out. My camera quality isnt quite good enough to capture them but I especially notice with makeup. Mostly visible on cheeks and temples. Procedure done for large pores/texture
I just received my first microneedling w/ PRP 3 days ago. My nurse told me I can go back to my regular routine after 4 hours of PRP on my face. I havent because I dont want to risk disrupting the healing process. Could anyone share aftercare tips? When can I go back to heavy sweating exercises? Exfoliating (my skin is now peeling)? Make-up? Should I use sunscreen - chemical or mineral? I just bought these ZO SKIN HEALTH Complexion Renewal Pads - when should I start using those? Thank you!
I'm being treated by a dermatologist for moderate acne scarring (treatments April to November). I'm thinking about doing 3 more after the initial 6. My dermatologist said I can either do 3 more now or wait 3-6 months to see the results before deciding. Is there any disadvantage to doing 3 more now vs waiting 3-6 months? Part of my decision is influenced by the sun intensity being weaker in the Winter months and it being easier to avoid the sun during Winter. Using sunscreen SPF 100 on face.
