So, you’ve just had a microneedling treatment—your skin’s glow-up journey has officially begun! But what happens next? Microneedling isn’t just a “one-and-done” beauty fix; the aftercare is where the magic truly happens. Think of it like planting a garden: the treatment is the seed, and your aftercare routine is the nurturing sunlight and water that help it flourish. Let’s dive into how you can give your skin the TLC it needs post-microneedling.
What Happens to Your Skin After Microneedling?
Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate collagen and elastin production, which are your skin’s natural building blocks for strength and elasticity. Right after the treatment, you might notice some redness and swelling—kind of like how your skin feels after a long day in the sun, minus the UV damage.
This is all part of the process, but your skin is extra sensitive now and needs a little extra love. Here’s how to treat it like the queen it is:
Day 1: The “Be Gentle” Phase
Imagine your skin just finished a workout. It’s tired and a little sore, but it’s working hard to rebuild and repair.

Cleanse with Care: Use tepid water and a gentle cleanser to clean your face. Think of it as washing a delicate piece of fabric—you want to avoid anything harsh or abrasive.
Hands Off, Please! No makeup, no scrubbing, no touching. Your skin is in recovery mode and needs a break.
Soothe and Hydrate: I recommend Hale Derma Pre and Post Treatment Spray. It’s all-natural, fragrance-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free—basically everything your skin needs to feel calm and refreshed without any irritation.
Days 2-3: Nurture the New You
Your skin is starting to heal, and you may notice it feeling tight or dry. This is totally normal and a sign that it’s renewing itself.

Keep It Simple: Stick to hydrating and soothing products. Avoid active ingredients like retinol or exfoliants for now—they’re like sprinting before your skin has had a chance to stretch.
Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: Broad-spectrum sunscreen is your best friend. The G.M. COLLIN SPF 45 UVA/UVB mineral cream is one I swear by. It’s lightweight, protective, and perfect for post-treatment skin. Even if it’s cloudy, UV rays can sneak through and irritate your healing skin.
Days 4-7: Flake It ‘Til You Make It
You might notice some light peeling or flaking—this is your skin saying, “Out with the old, in with the new!”

Moisturize Like a Pro: Keep your skin hydrated to minimize flaking. G.M. COLLIN’s Native Collagen Gel is a fantastic choice. It’s lightweight, soothing, and works beautifully to restore hydration and support your skin’s renewal process.
Skip the Pick: Resist the urge to pick or peel. Think of your skin like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon—it needs time to fully reveal its beauty.
Boost Your Results with These Game-Changers
Microneedling not only transforms your skin but also enhances how your skincare products work. This is the perfect time to introduce products designed to amplify your glow:

GF Advanced Serum by GMC Medical: This anti-aging serum is like giving your skin a VIP pass to fast-track repair and renewal. It’s packed with growth factors and peptides to support collagen production.
Native Collagen Gel by G.M. COLLIN: Perfect for soothing and hydrating your skin during the recovery process. It’s also fantastic for long-term anti-aging benefits.
What About Blackheads, Whiteheads, and Other Pesky Pores?
Here’s the exciting part: microneedling doesn’t just boost collagen—it’s also fantastic for minimizing the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. If your nose has been playing host to stubborn clogged pores, microneedling helps clear them out while promoting smoother, healthier skin.
Imagine your pores as tiny little windows to your skin. Over time, dirt, oil, and dead skin can fog them up. Microneedling is like the ultimate window cleaner, and your aftercare routine ensures they stay crystal clear.
Long-Term Care for Long-Term Results
Microneedling isn’t a one-time affair—it’s a relationship. The more you care for your skin post-treatment, the better your results will be.
Hydration is Key: Think of your skin like a sponge—it absorbs everything better when it’s well-hydrated.
Stay Consistent: Stick to your skincare routine and avoid skipping sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
Plan for the Future: Talk to your provider about how often you should schedule microneedling treatments to maintain your glow.
