Injectable and microneedling treatments can help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin, but the results depend not just on the procedure itself but on how you care for your skin afterward. At Glomi Wellness Lab, we guide our patients through proper post-treatment routines to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Do: Keep Your Skin Clean and Hydrated
After microneedling or injectables, your skin may be sensitive or slightly red. Cleanse gently with a mild, non-irritating cleanser and avoid harsh scrubs. Hydrate with a soothing moisturizer or a recommended post-procedure serum to support healing and reduce dryness or irritation.
Do: Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Sun exposure can compromise your results and increase the risk of hyperpigmentation. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wear a hat, and limit direct sun exposure, especially in the first few weeks after microneedling or the first few days after an injectable treatment.
Do: Follow Your Personalized Instructions
Each treatment is unique, and your skin may respond differently. Glomi Wellness Lab provides personalized aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure, including recommended products, follow-up schedules, and any restrictions specific to your plan.
Do Not: Apply Makeup Immediately
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after microneedling or injectable treatments. Your skin needs time to recover, and introducing makeup too soon can increase the risk of irritation. If you must leave the house, keep it minimal and choose clean, gentle products.
Do Not: Touch, Rub, or Pick at the Treated Area
It is normal to feel mild swelling, redness, or tenderness. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the area unless instructed by your provider, as this can affect product placement in injectables or disrupt healing after microneedling.
Do Not: Skip Hydration and Healthy Habits
Your body heals from the inside out. Drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and maintain a healthy diet. Avoid excessive alcohol, smoking, or strenuous exercise immediately after treatment, as these can interfere with healing.
Maximize Your Results
Proper aftercare is essential for lasting results from injectables and microneedling. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can minimize downtime, prevent complications, and enjoy smoother, rejuvenated skin sooner. If you are ready to experience safe, physician-led skincare treatments in the comfort of your home, schedule your next appointment.
