After microneedling, some redness and mild swelling are common, resembling a slight sunburn. These effects typically last for 1-2 days, but some individuals may experience a little longer recovery time, depending on their skin’s sensitivity. You may also notice minor dryness or flaking as your skin begins to heal and regenerate.
Most people are able to resume their normal activities within 24 hours, though we typically advise avoiding direct sun exposure, heavy exercise, or harsh skincare products for a few days post-treatment to ensure the best healing.
