It is recommended using a hydrating serum during microneedling to help replenish and plump the skin. Hyaluronic acid-based serums are a popular choice because they are deeply hydrating and can help maximize the benefits of microneedling. Other serums that can be used during microneedling include peptides, ceramides, and PRP. It’s better to avoid using serums that contain acids (AHA, BHA, and lactic acid) and retinoids during microneedling as they can be too harsh for the skin and cause irritation. Additionally, it’s best to use a clean canvas when performing microneedling, so make sure to cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser and use an anti-microbial mist or pad to ensure a clean surface for microneedling.
