SkinPen Post-Care Instructions

SkinPen or microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that helps reduce scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores by enhancing collagen production through increased blood circulation. This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin.

What to Expect: Healing Process

Healing from SkinPen treatments typically begins within 48 hours, with full recovery continuing beneath the skin’s surface for up to two months. Here’s what to expect during the healing process:

Day 1

  • Your face may feel warm with mild peeling and swelling, similar to moderate sunburn.
  • Wash your face the morning after the procedure with a gentle cleanser and cool water.

Days 2-3

  • Your skin may still feel dry and sensitive. Some patients experience longer periods of redness.
  • Common side effects include dryness, breakouts, and a bumpy skin texture.
  • Use only products approved by your skin professional. Avoid exfoliating products, alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic acid, toners, and retinols.

Days 4-7

  • Expect peeling of the treated skin 3-5 days after the procedure. A growth factor serum is highly recommended.
  • You may resume your regular skincare routine under the guidance of your skincare professional, provided there are no signs of irritation.

Post-Treatment Tips for Optimal Results

  • Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged sun exposure.
  • Apply a generous amount of physical sunblock (Elta MD preferred) whenever you go outdoors.
  • Do not forcibly peel your skin; keep it moisturized and let it shed naturally.
  • Avoid benzoyl peroxide and serums with vitamins E, C, and Retinol A for two days after treatment.
  • Avoid activities that induce excessive sweating for 72 hours post-treatment.
  • Steer clear of saunas, exercise, swimming pools, steam rooms, and jacuzzis for 5 days post-treatment.

Conclusion – SkinPen Care

  • Three to five microneedling sessions every four to six weeks can significantly reduce signs of premature aging by boosting collagen and elastin production.
  • Post-procedure care is as crucial as pre-treatment care. Pay extra attention to your skin during the healing process.
