MICRONEEDLING

Following your micro-needling treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel warm or tight, similar to mild sunburn. This is completely normal and should settle within 24–48 hours. To allow your skin to heal and achieve the best possible results, avoid touching your face unnecessarily and keep the skin clean and well hydrated. Avoid wearing makeup for at least 48 hours and refrain from strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive sweating during this time. Protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and applying a broad-spectrum (protects against both types of uv radiation)SPF 30 or higher every day. For the first 5–7 days, avoid using active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or exfoliating products until your skin has fully recovered. Continue using gentle, hydrating skincare and drink plenty of water to support the healing process. If you have any concerns following your treatment, please don't hesitate to contact Oleilu for advice.
