RF MICRONEEDLING AFTERCARE

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

The following aftercare advice is essential to help reduce the risk of treatment complications, to improve your healing, and to help achieve the best possible results from microneedling.

Essential RF Microneedling Aftercare Tips

  • Use Skinfuse to moisturize and cool your skin for 24 hours after microneedling.
  • Avoid hot environments and heat (saunas, sun beds, intense workouts, hot yoga) for at least 7 days afterwards.
  • Avoid exfoliants, retinols, and vitamin C for 7 days before and after microneedling.
  • Wash your hands before you touch your face for the first 24 hours.
  • Don’t put on makeup for 24 hours following microneedling.

Activities to Avoid

To protect your skin, you’ll also need to avoid swimming pools, saunas, and situations where you might sweat heavily, including intense workouts at the gym. After 72 hours have passed, you may be able to resume these activities.

Using Skincare Products

Run any cleansers, toners, or scrubs that you plan to use in the 2 to 3 days after microneedling by your dermatologist to make sure the ingredients won’t worsen side effects.

Managing Side Effects of RF Microneedling tTeatment

  1. If you experience any redness, swelling, or discomfort, you may apply a cold, clean compress to the affected area for 10-15 minutes at a time, as needed.
  2. If you notice any unwanted side effects, contact your practitioner immediately.


Taking care of your skin after microneedling can make a huge difference in the outcome of your treatment. Not only will proper aftercare soothe your symptoms, but you’ll also be protecting your skin from damage as it heals.
