Microneedling is an advanced collagen-stimulating treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, elasticity, and overall skin quality.

Austin will provide personalised post-treatment Medical micro-needling advice and skincare guidance during your appointment.

• Dryness or tightness

These effects usually settle within 24–72 hours as the skin recovery process begins.

What to Avoid After Treatment

To support skin needling recovery & optimal healing after medical microneedling, avoid:

• Makeup for at least 24 hours
• Direct sun exposure
• Active skincare products such as retinol or exfoliating acids

Post-Treatment Skin Recovery

A gentle skin healing routine is recommended after collagen induction therapy:

• Use hydrating and barrier-supporting skincare
• Apply SPF daily
• Avoid exfoliation until the skin has fully recovered

The Skin Rejuvenation Process

Microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen production. During recovery, the skin may feel dry or slightly rough as new skin cells develop and repair begins.

For the best skin rejuvenation results, it is important to follow the personalised microneedling aftercare advice provided by Austin Brewer Facial Aesthetics.
