Microneedling Aftercare: Tips for Optimal Healing & Results in Houston

Microneedling Pre & Post Care at Tulum Wellness Spa in Houston

Microneedling is a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin, and at Tulum Wellness Spa in Houston, we're experts in helping you achieve your skincare goals.  But did you know that what you do before and after your treatment is just as important as the microneedling itself?

To ensure the best possible results and a comfortable recovery, follow these pre and post-care tips:

Before Your Microneedling Appointment:

• Consult with our Experts: Schedule a consultation with one of our skilled estheticians. We'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and address any concerns you may have.
• Avoid Sun Exposure:  Minimize sun exposure for at least a week before your treatment.  A sunburn can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications.
• Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using any retinoids, exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs), or topical antibiotics for a few days prior to your appointment, as advised by our esthetician.
• Come with Clean Skin: Arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup and any skincare products.

After Your Microneedling Treatment:

• Embrace the Glow (and the Redness): Your skin will likely be red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within a day or two.
• Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.  We recommend products with hyaluronic acid or calming ingredients like aloe vera.
• Shield Yourself from the Sun: Sun protection is crucial! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
• Hands Off!: Avoid touching your face unnecessarily to prevent infection.
• Skip the Makeup:  Resist the urge to apply makeup for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Let your skin breathe and heal.
• Say No to Harsh Products:  Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and harsh cleansers for several days, as advised by your esthetician.
• Cool Down: If you experience any discomfort, apply a cool compress to soothe the treated area.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote healing from the inside out.
• Be Patient: It may take a few weeks to see the full results of your microneedling treatment.
