Microneedling recovery is short but structured. Skipping aftercare undoes 50% of the session's benefit.
Day 0
Redness like mild sunburn. Apply barrier serum. No makeup, no gym, no sweat.
Day 1–2
Skin feels tight and slightly rough. Gentle cleanser + moisturiser + SPF 50 only. No actives.
Day 3–5
Fine flaking. Do not peel it off. Add a hydrating serum if dry.
Day 6–7
Skin looks refreshed and slightly plumped. Resume mild actives (niacinamide, vitamin C). Retinoid stays off for 10 days.
Day 8–14
New collagen begins forming under the surface. Continue SPF 50. Book next session at 4–6 weeks.
