It is also important to avoid certain products and treatments immediately after microneedling. Retinol, acids, and other exfoliants should be avoided to reduce the risk of irritation or inflammation. In addition, you should wait at least two weeks before waxing, tweezing, shaving, or using depilatory creams in the treated area. Sun protection is also essential, as UV exposure can increase the risk of adverse effects. Make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more every day and to minimize your time in direct sunlight.
