Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure to stimulate blood circulation on the surface of the skin. This intervention is often performed to improve acne scarring and increase collagen production. However, the principle of microneedling is to actively damage the skin, so users need to follow a post-needle skin care process to strengthen the skin barrier as it heals.
1. How is the skin condition after the needle roller?
After the procedure, the skin feels irritated to the touch, which lasts up to 3-5 days. Next, the skin will become dry and flaky, this is a completely normal reaction. After this process is over, the skin will become softer and more radiant.
Some people may experience post-needling redness and slight swelling around the treated areas. Others describe a sunburn-like condition, which is mild to moderate but will last no more than a day or two.
The role of microneedling is to actively create stimulation, causing the body to naturally produce collagen and elastin. This effect will be maintained for up to 12 weeks after treatment. Individual results may vary, but most users will see a noticeable difference within a few weeks and a few may require several treatments. However, positive results always continue to improve many months after the first treatment and last until the skin goes through the natural aging process.
In order to get the best treatment results, users need to be performed by a dermatologist who will guide the skin care process after microneedling to prolong the benefits and limit the possible side effects. right.
2. Things to keep in mind when taking care of the skin after needle roller
2.1. Avoid sun exposure Your skin will always be much more sensitive to the sun for a few weeks after your microneedling treatment. To prevent side effects, users need to take mechanical measures to help avoid the sun anytime, anywhere. However, doctors would not advocate using sunscreen immediately after the procedure, as the skin channels are completely open and will absorb whatever is applied.
However, users can still apply mineral-rich sunscreen when the skin has healed, ie for about 24 hours after the microneedling treatment. This is to prevent unwanted pigmentation and UV damage to the skin.
2.2. Use the necessary skin care products Many specialized product lines for skin care after dermabrasion have been presented and proven to be quite effective. These products are used to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce irritation and discoloration of the skin after the procedure.
2.3. Do not use skin care products that contain “active ingredients” Since the microneedling process leaves the skin in a very sensitive state, users will be advised by a dermatologist to avoid all products. skin care products that contain “active ingredients” such as retinol, alpha hydroxyl acids, and vitamin C.
However, these products may be considered reintroduced in your skin care regimen 3-5 days post-needling or as recommended by your therapist.

2.4. Avoid using makeup products after dermal filler Do not wear makeup for at least 24 - 48 hours after the procedure. Because the use of makeup products can cause irritation on open skin, there is a high risk of skin infections.

Therefore, if you sweat or participate in any physical activity that makes the skin hot, it will allow bacteria to enter. Consequences can lead to infection, prolonged redness or other adverse skin reactions.
2.6. Do not use any anti-inflammatory drugs Before and immediately after the needle roller procedure on the skin, users must absolutely avoid using anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen. The reason these drugs should not be used is because they interfere with the natural inflammatory process needed for optimal skin rejuvenation.
2.7. Use gentle cleansers Replace active products with mild cleansers and lotions. The goal is to keep the skin clean, avoiding dryness and flaking caused by post-needling trauma.
For people with easily irritated skin, it is necessary to test the product carefully before applying it directly on a large area of the skin, in order to avoid causing further damage.
2.8. Using collagen-stimulating peptides Collagen-stimulating peptides help the skin prepare for and recover from the procedure, so it's an important part of your post-needle skin care routine.
These peptides work by assisting in the stimulation of collagen production and enhancing the effectiveness of skin treatments.
2.9. Applying a cooling mask to the face Users may experience skin irritation after dermabrasion. Therefore, dermatologists often recommend using cooling masks to reduce inflammation and redness, and help skin feel more comfortable and comfortable.
2.10. Don't forget to drink enough water Drinking enough water can be done in a simple but effective way. Water should be drunk both before and after the procedure.
Keeping enough water in the skin will support the healing process of skin damage and skin rejuvenation faster.
In short, post-needling skin care can make a huge difference in treatment results.
