Sensitive Skin Strategy: Microneedling Aftercare, Downtime, and When to Resume Laser Treatments
Microneedling can be friendly to sensitive skin when the aftercare is smart and simple. Your skin just did real work. It needs a quiet plan that helps it rebuild without drama. Think calm, clean, and consistent. Everything else is extra.
The first 24 hours: keep it minimal
Right after treatment, your skin is open and reactive. Less is more.
Cleanse with lukewarm water only or a very gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Pat dry. No rubbing.
Use a plain, barrier-supporting moisturizer with ceramides or squalane.
Skip makeup if you can. If you must, use a clean brush and a non-comedogenic formula.
Stay…
