Microneedling is an excellent treatment to improve skin tone and texture. It is non-surgical, non-invasive, and takes little time when compared to cosmetic surgery. This is the perfect skin rejuvenation option for a quick and convenient facial skin treatment to keep your face looking younger without the hassle or complications of surgery.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling is a simple procedure in which tiny needles create thousands of micro-wounds to trigger the skin’s natural healing process. This skin restoration with microneedling also helps generate new elastin, collagen, and blood vessels to maintain healthy-looking skin. Some newer cutting-edge devices, such as Secret RF Microneedling, combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy for even more benefits and incredible results.
How Should I Prepare for Microneedling?
Your skin heals faster with proper preparation. Apply an antioxidant serum daily and use a skin brightening serum that employs fruit acids or Vitamin C before your treatment session. Skin rejuvenation works well only if the top layer of your skin is smooth. Therefore, exfoliate before treatment.

Microneedling Aftercare Tips
Immediately after Microneedling, your face will feel a little warm. Redness may also appear, as the needles cause tiny injuries.
Taking the proper steps to care for your skin after microneedling is critical to enhancing the results. Failing to follow posttreatment recommendations may prevent ideal result or even damage the skin.
RL Cosmetic Surgery and Medspa prescribes the following aftercare instructions for microneedling:
1. Cleansing
For the first few hours after microneedling, do not wash your face with soap and water. Rather, apply a gentle facial cleanser.
In the first few days following microneedling, you need to use designated aftercare products to nourish and hydrate.
Refrain from makeup after microneedling. Don’t apply any brush to your face.
2. Avoid the Sun
Since your pores are open after microneedling, UV rays from the sun can harm your skin. So, it’s recommended to avoid sunlight for two days after the treatment session.
After three to four days, use broad-spectrum UVA sunscreen lotion, as the skin is more sensitive after microneedling.
Here, it’s appropriate to mention that you should make a habit of applying sunscreen every time you go outdoors. Harmful UV rays can damage your facial skin severely.
3. Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Use Hyaluronic Serum
Keep your skin hydrated, using only products your skincare professional recommends. Typically, we suggest a hyaluronic serum after microneedling to avoid excess peeling and flaking.
