HydraNeedling

Following microneedling, the skin may appear red and feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. Some patients may experience mild swelling, sensitivity, dryness or flaking over the following days as the skin heals and regenerates. Most redness typically settles within 24-72 hours, although recovery time can vary depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare advice, including recommendations on skincare, sun protection and when to resume active ingredients.

You may notice an immediate improvement in skin brightness and texture following microneedling, with further improvements developing over the following weeks as collagen production increases. A course of 3-4 treatments are often recommended to achieve optimal results, with the number of sessions depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Results can continue to improve for several months as new collagen is formed. Maintenance sessions are recommended.

For the first 24 hours, avoid makeup, touching the skin, strenuous exercise, alcohol and heat exposure including saunas, steam rooms and hot showers. For 7 days following treatment, avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs and exfoliants. Use gentle, hydrating skincare to support skin recovery. For 4 weeks, avoid sunbeds, excessive sun exposure and advanced aesthetic treatments. Daily SPF 50 is essential to protect your skin and maintain results.
