Microneedling Aftercare — Simple & Gentle

Keep your SkinPen results on track with easy, calming aftercare.

First 24–48 Hours

  • Keep products simple; avoid acids, retinoids and scrubs.
  • Cool-to-lukewarm water; pat dry — no rubbing.
  • Hydrate with a gentle moisturiser; avoid fragranced, alcohol-heavy products.
  • Skip heavy workouts, saunas and steam rooms for 24–48 hours.
  • Daily SPF is a must.

Makeup & Styling

Most clients wait 24 hours before applying light makeup. Choose clean tools and avoid vigorous brushing over treated areas for a day or two.

Combining Treatments
