You’ve just had your first microneedling treatment, congratulations! Your skin feels a little warm, maybe a touch pink, and now the magic starts happening. But here’s the thing: what you do in the next 48 hours can make a big difference in how your results show up. Follow these post-microneedling skincare tips for the best success!
We don’t gatekeep great skin here at Aesthetics by Eimear. Instead, we give every client a post-treatment guide. Want a sneak peak first? Here’s what your skin needs most Post-Microneedling in Bondi.
Post-Microneedling Tips
1. Hands Off, Please
Your skin’s freshly opened and healing, so resist the urge to touch, pick or test textures. Clean hands only.
2. Simplify Your Routine Post-Microneedling
That means: No actives (that means skip the Retinol). No exfoliants. No harsh cleansers.
Stick to gentle, hydrating formulas, think hyaluronic acid, soothing serums, and a barrier-loving moisturiser. We’ll recommend what’s right for you at your appointment.
3. Sunscreen is Not Optional Post-Microneedling
Remember, Microneedling makes your skin extra sensitive to UV rays. So SPF 50+ is a must — especially in our Bondi sun. Reapply if you’re out and about. I recommend Daily Defence SPF 50 by The Skincare Company.
Watch my TikTok on the importance of SPF.
4. Skip Makeup for 24-48 Hours
Your skin needs time to breathe. Foundation, powders and heavy skincare can clog up those healing channels, and no one wants that.
5. Avoid Heat, Sweat and Intense Workouts Post-Microneedling
Hot yoga? Saunas? Save them for next week. Your skin is inflamed (in the best way), and heat or sweat can disrupt healing. An excuse for a Netflix day or two, count us in?!
Pro Tip from Eimear:
“If you’re ever unsure after your treatment, message us. We’d rather walk you through it than have you stress about a breakout or redness. Good aftercare is half the result.”
