How To Enhance Your Microneedling Results

Keep reading to learn how to enhance your microneedling results. Here at Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness, we use Microneedling to target a variety of client skin concerns. Microneedling treatment has been proven to correct certain forms of hyperpigmentation, aging signs, and acne scarring. Microneedling is a powerful treatment for skin rejuvenation, but proper aftercare enhances its benefits. Keep reading this blog to learn ways to enhance your results post treatment.

1. Use Retinol to Stimulate Collagen

After your skin has healed from treatment, incorporating retinol into your routine accelerates collagen production. Retinol helps refine skin texture, reduce fine lines, and improve overall tone. Wait at least 7 days post-treatment before applying retinol to avoid irritation.

In need of a retinol recommendation? Serenity’s Night Renewal Serum is a great addition to consider incorporating into your nighttime skincare routine. This prescription grade retinol is formulated with .5% Tretinoin to effectively target cell turnover and stimulate collagen production in between treatments. As with any retinol start low and slow and follow your prescribing practitioners instructions. We generally recommend that clients begin using this just 2 alternating nights a week to start. For example, if you begin using the serum on a Wednesday night, then hold off using it again until Friday night. Use the recommended 2-3 drops each time for the entire face and neck area. In addition, we highly recommend clients use the retinol sandwich method to lessen chances of flaking, dryness, and irritation commonly associated with retinols. After cleansing, apply a layer of your preferred moisturizer free of actives, then apply 2-3 drops of the Night Renewal Serum to your face and neck, then apply another layer of moisturizer.

2. Hydrate With Hyaluronic Acid

Microneedling temporarily disrupts the skin’s barrier, making hydration essential. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, promoting faster healing and a plumper complexion. Apply a medical-grade hyaluronic acid serum daily for optimal hydration.

If your skin runs more oily, then consider our Phyto Soothing Serum which is hydrating without the risk of clogging the pores. If your skin runs dry and is not acne prone, our Dew Drops are best suited for your skin type to provide the needed hydration. Use as a standalone moisturizer or pair with a face lotion of choice.

3. Apply Growth Factors or Exosomes

Growth factors and Exosomes enhance healing and collagen regeneration. These powerful ingredients support cellular repair, reducing downtime and improving skin firmness.

4. Never Skip Sunscreen

Sun protection is critical after microneedling. Freshly treated skin is more susceptible to UV damage, which can cause hyperpigmentation. Use SPF 30 or higher daily to protect your results and prevent premature aging.
