Microneedling is an excellent treatment for your acne scars, it also works well for redness and minor discoloration of the skin that can be caused by blemishes or years of sun damage. Unfortunately, micro-needling works best in conjunction with other modalities of treatment. For example, micro-needling works well with the Active Serum to achieve good collagen stimulation and to help control redness. It is very important that you follow up your micro-needling with some topical treatments to minimize dark spots or increased pigmentation after these procedures.

You should not participate in any workout after micro-needling for the first 72 hours after the procedure. Since it is a deep peel, your skin would be very open at this time.

What can hinder one from workout after micro-needling?

To minimize the risk of infection after a micro-needling treatment you should avoid any workout with weights, or sweating in your face. You can certainly do yoga and other forms of fitness that support your skin. If you have a very active routine that puts pressure on your skin, then it’s best to skip a few days until you recover from this treatment.

What to expect after a workout after micro-needling?

You should always use sunscreen after a micro-needling treatment since your skin is more sensitive to damage. It will take about 15-20 days of sun avoidance before the redness subsides, and for some, it can take at least 2 weeks before they see any benefits from the micro-needling treatment.

Please consult your dermatologist or doctor before you work out after micro-needling.
