What Tips Do You Have for Post-treatment Care?

After your microneedling session at Eos Skin and Laser Clinic in Portland, following proper post-treatment care will ensure optimal results and smooth recovery. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Sun Protection: After microneedling, your skin is especially sensitive to UV rays. Avoid direct sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

  • Stay Hydrated: Hydration is key to healing. Use a gentle, non-exfoliating moisturizer to keep your skin moisturized. Moisturizers and other Epionce skin care products are available at Eos Skin and Laser Clinic.

  • Avoid Harsh Products: For at least 48 hours, skip products with retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliants, as these ingredients can cause irritation and delay healing.

  • No Makeup for 24 Hours: Letting your skin breathe post-treatment can prevent clogged pores and allow it to heal more effectively.

  • Use Hydrating Mists or Serums: A hydrating mist or serum containing hyaluronic acid can keep your skin feeling refreshed. Serum and other Epionce skin care products are available at Eos Skin and Laser Clinic.

  • Avoid Excessive Heat: For the first 48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms. Excess heat can increase inflammation, so stick to lukewarm water when cleansing.

What are Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Microneedling?

    Each session lasts between 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated and whether RF is included.
