After your microneedling session your face will appear pink or red, as if you have a sunburn. During this time the tiny microchannels created by the needles are open and susceptible to infection, so it is VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE, and very important to stay out of direct sunlight for the first 24 hours. You may experience a warm and dry sensation, and you may experience some skin flaking, like a peeling sunburn. We highly recommend that you do not schedule your microneedling appointment before a night out or a special event. The next morning you may still experience some redness but it should subside over the next 1-2 days.
