Skin Needling Aftercare Brisbane: What to Expect After Microneedling Treatment

Expert tips from The Glow Co. Aesthetics, Gordon Park

Skin Needling — also known as Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy — is one of Brisbane’s most sought-after skin treatments for improving texture, fine lines, and overall skin radiance.

At The Glow Co. Aesthetics in Gordon Park, we specialise in personalised, results-driven skin treatments. To help you get the most from your session, we’ve created this essential Skin Needling Aftercare Brisbane guide.​

What to Expect Immediately After Your Skin Needling Treatment

Post-treatment, it's common to experience:​

• Redness and Swelling: Your skin may appear red and feel slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours.​

• Sensitivity: The treated area might feel sensitive or tight. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the skin during this time.​

• Dryness and Flaking: As your skin heals, you may notice dryness or slight peeling. This is a normal part of the regeneration process

Skin Needling Aftercare Brisbane - Tips for Optimal Healing

To support your skin's healing process and enhance the results of your Skin Needling treatment, consider the following aftercare guidelines:

1. Keep the Skin Clean and Hydrated

• Cleansing: Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to wash your face. Avoid scrubbing or using exfoliants for at least a week.​

• Moisturizing: Apply a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer to soothe the skin and prevent dryness. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid for added hydration.​

  
  

2. Sun Protection

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays post-treatment. Limit sun exposure and wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.​

• Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days, to protect the healing skin.​

  
  

3. Avoid Certain Activities and Products

• No Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation and infection.​

• Skip the Gym: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths for 24 to 48 hours, as excessive sweating can irritate the skin.​

• Avoid Active Ingredients: Steer clear of skincare products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and vitamin C for at least 3 to 5 days.​

  
  

4. Let the Skin Heal Naturally

• No Picking or Scratching: If peeling occurs, resist the urge to pick at the skin. Allow it to shed naturally to prevent scarring.​

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support overall skin health and healing.​

When to Resume Your Regular Skincare Routine

Typically, you can return to your regular skincare regimen, including active ingredients, about 5 to 7 days post-treatment, once the skin has fully healed. At The Glow Co. Aesthetics, we recommend a follow-up Murad treatment plan tailored to your skin goals - book an in-clinic consultation to discuss your plan.
