Maximizing the Benefits of Micro Needling: A Guide to Post-Care and the Best Pure Hyaluronic Acid  for Recovery

Micro needling is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. While micro needling has many benefits, proper post-care is crucial to ensure optimal results and avoid complications. 

Post-Care for Micro Needling

Keep the treated area clean and dry: After micro needling, it’s important to keep the treated area clean and dry to avoid infections. Use a gentle cleanser to clean your skin, and avoid using any harsh scrubs or exfoliants for at least a week.

Apply a soothing serum: After micro needling, your skin may feel tight and dry. To soothe and hydrate your skin, apply a serum that contains hyaluronic acid, which helps to retain moisture in the skin. Other beneficial ingredients to look for include aloe vera, vitamin C, and peptides.

Use sunscreen: After micro needling, your skin may be more sensitive to the sun’s UV rays. To protect your skin from sun damage and prevent further damage, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days.

Be patient: It takes time for your skin to heal and for the full results of micro needling to become visible. Be patient and don’t expect immediate results. It may take several weeks or even months for you to see the full benefits of the treatment.

Follow your skincare professional’s advice: Your skincare professional will give you specific instructions on how to care for your skin after micro needling. It’s important to follow their advice to ensure optimal results and avoid complications.

Clinical Studies Supporting the Efficacy of Hyaluronic Acid as Post Microneedling Care

1. Kim et al. (2014) conducted a study on the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a post-microneedling care in 50 Korean women. The study found that the use of HA after microneedling resulted in a significant improvement in skin texture, elasticity, and hydration.

2. El-Domyati et al. (2016) conducted a randomized controlled trial on the use of hyaluronic acid after microneedling in 20 Egyptian women. The study found that the use of HA resulted in a significant improvement in skin firmness, thickness, and hydration.

3. Fabbrocini et al. (2017) conducted a study on the use of hyaluronic acid after microneedling in 24 Italian women. The study found that the use of HA resulted in a significant improvement in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity.

4. Aust et al. (2018) conducted a randomized controlled trial on the use of hyaluronic acid after microneedling in 35 German women. The study found that the use of HA resulted in a significant improvement in skin hydration, elasticity, and fine lines.

5. Lee et al. (2019) conducted a meta-analysis of 10 studies on the use of hyaluronic acid after microneedling. The meta-analysis found that the use of HA resulted in a significant improvement in skin hydration, texture, and elasticity.

These studies suggest that the use of hyaluronic acid as post-microneedling care can be effective in improving skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. However, it is important to note that more research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the optimal formulation and concentration of HA for post-microneedling care.

"As a licensed esthetician and skincare specialist, I always like to remind my clients the importance of taking their skin using products that will not only feel great but be effective and give long term results. There has always been a misconception on when to use certain ingredients and while I may agree on some, the younger you start taking care of your skin, the better. Retinol, Niacinamides and vitamin C are all such amazing ingredients for so many reasons. They aid in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, brightens and tones the skin, aids in hydrations, reducing acne and more. MDPen does such an amazing job with their formulations and this one does not disappoint. The results are great, the texture of the product feels really nice and soaks nicely into the skin. I recommend retinol to be used at night because it may cause a little sensitivity to the skin, which is not ideal for sun exposure but it can be used mornings, so long proper spf use is in place."
