🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you for that girl
I love how you actually give recommendation of the type of products to use... others are like make sure you use safe product and don’t give any suggestion . Keep up the good work ☺️
Eva, thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for this info. I would like to add, coconut oil is a comedogenic, which means that it tends to cause blackheads by blocking the pores of the skin. This does not mean that all skin types and conditions will be affected the same. For some reason, perhaps due to genetic make-up, some of us do not get blockage from coconut oil base skin care products. However, I would recommend against using any products with such tendencies, especially after Dermaplaning and Microneedling. Why is this important? After a microneedling treatment your skin is vulnerable. Please be mindful that after this procedure your skin becomes a sponge. Best to not use any type of cleansers the first 24 to 72 hours. Only a sterile gauze and cool bottled water, preferably distilled bottled water. Then apply a moisturizing serum or lotion carefully crafted for treatments like microneedling after care and top with a quality sunscreen protectant. Speak to your Esthetician or Dermatologist for what is best for your skin type and skin condition. What is not being said here is, aftercare is to prevent skin damage. If not properly treated, you may cause further dehydration (scaly skin appearance) and more pronounced fine lines or hyperpigmentation issues that will not be treatable, just to mention a few. Think about it. Take charge of your skin, it is the only one you'll ever have. Good luck!
I am still searching for natural safe products for microneedling. Do you have a recommendation?
I really appreciate this. Ive just turned 38 and worked outside for most of that. I've just started a skin routine (late, i know 😅)
This was really informative, Thank-you 😊
Thank you so much Im a guy and will be doing micro-needling at home no-one told me these things u did and Im glad I watched all of your video! Thank you so much I love you!
Following your progress please make sure that you’re only doing this every 4 to 6 weeks and you’re giving body time to rebuild collagen!!
I know. I am about to do another treatment and do another video on it. Treatment #2. Definitely good to wait 4-6 if doing a treatment this deep. If doing a more superficial treatment, it can be done more often.
Just had to put it out there, you have great eyes.
Ayumelove, thank you for the comment and for watching! :)
My first thought when i see her videos, but she's sooo pretty in general😍.
Lmao she really does 😂
Thank you for making this video, I’m getting a microneedling treatment soon and it really helps!
Also, girl you are gorgeous!!
Thanks Barbara! I hope your treatment went well! :)))
@@LifeDIY Thank you for providing such good info, I had seen many videos regarding dermaroller and how to use and what to apply, I have seen that some youtubers using vitamin c serum. After watching your video I am not gone use using vitamin c serum. Can u plz..suggest good serum for after use of dermaroller?
@@kshitijasarode12 Thanks for the kind comment! I have been using a brand called Timeless (from Amazon) and they sell a great hyaluronic serum. So, to be extra safe, I have only been using that during the treatment and after for the first two to three days -then I resume using other products as well. I will try to go back to my other video and find a link to the product.
@@kshitijasarode12 I just realized the link to the hyaluronic serum is above - but here it is anyway: amzn.to/2Td9cSf
Kate Beckinsale & Alyssa Milano = You!
Aww thank you LaDame DeCoeur!
@@LifeDIY You're welcome. X
LaDame DeCoeur yes,
Totally agree😁
And a bit of Shakira too😍
Spot on!!!
Yay thank you for posting this video and your other one with the demonstration. I subscribed!! I had been getting microneedling done professionally last year but it's so expensive, it seemed like something I could do at home, so I bought the derma pen last week and have been researching others' tips since then. So glad I found your channel!
Hi Kayleigh, so glad you found my channel too. :) If you ever have questions, let me know. I can imagine it is probably so expensive to have this done somewhere. Face peels are so expensive too and you can safely do them at home. I will make a video on that in the future. I really hope it works well for you - with the pen you bought! I am so glad I bought one and I am excited to do another treatment!
I just saved $40 using your discount code for the SECOND time! Thanks again!
What a wonderful video I received more information from your video than all of the other subscribers that I follow.
Thank you so much, Sandy! :)
Omg!!!! You explained some tips that they're very very important to know!thank you
You are welcome! 💜🤗
I love this. How you got straight to the point. Great video 😊
@@4evatinker Thanks!
I used aloe it helped tremendously.
Gii-_Gii_ how long after the microneedling
Aloe vera gel from leaves or some company made product?
I am in the second day. Very ittttchy. Will go buy one . Thank you for the advice
Can I use aloe Vera juice ?
Thank you. You’ve saved my skin. I’m about to start microneedling and was wondering if I could put my Vitamin C on it afterwards. Thank you for your warning.
So glad it helped, Ingrid!
I done it for the first time there and used more serum afterwards that included vitamin c. It didn’t burn though and it wasn’t sore when I done the microneedling at 1.5mm is that normal? The pen is good quality and I done it for a good amount of time. I’m learning a lot from your videos
You could but SHOULDN’T there’s a chance for your skin to scare around it, leaving tiny scar bumps all over face . There was a clinical study about it. Wish I could give you more info
Hi, thanks for responding. I’m doing better. Still a little broken out but it’s getting better. Dermatologist stated part of healing process. This was my last session she went deep this time. I did make it to Ulta on Friday and got the first Aid beauty moisturizer really good stuff calm down my skin so much. Thank you.
I just had the treatment today. Thanks for this info
You are welcome! I hope the treatment went well and you get great results!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I just bought my first Dr pen and am getting excited about getting started😀🤞❤️
I make a microneedling almost 2 month..my skin better..after needle i put nano white fresh essense..the result so awesome!!!
Have u rinse your face with water after session or not
No..just put hydrating mosturizer after session..
Thanks for Your kind information, today I did my first micronedling session hopefuly its work.
More power to U beautiful gentlewomen❤
I just had this done Thursday night (1 1/2 days ago). I had great after care instructions. He said it would probably cause swelling, and that’s normal. I didn’t expect quite so much swelling. My eyes especially. Anyone else get a lot of swelling? No pain, no itching. Just a bit of redness (one eye looks a bit bruised under). He did a lot around my eyes.
Yes I definitely did as well! Expect I also got VERY red😂
I’m ordering this soap now. Thank you! Love your recommendations ❤️
Hope you like it! Thank you for watching! :)
Great tip on tbt anti-inflammatory. Thanks!
Coconut is comedogenic so idk if it's good to use it on your face. Anyways, I can't help but think you look like Kate Beckinsale! So beautiful 😍
Aww thank you. I need to do more research on this soap recommendation because it is washed off, I have never had any problems. It is just so soothing on the skin. I will try to research it again soon!
Hello, i had micro-needling done this past Tuesday my skin has broke out so bad. I’ve gone from extreme itching, swollen, and now small bumps are all over my skin. This was my 4th session. I hope this is part of the healing process and will be over soon. 😞
Hi Felicia, so sorry to hear this. Did you talk to the person who did the procedure? Do you think the itching was from dryness or irritation?
Reminds me of Kate Beckinsale. Beauty.
I finally did my first full face microneedling and all went well :). But I didn’t know I shouldn’t take anti-inflammatory. I knew the numbing is going to wear off so I popped two pain killers 😂 Oh dear, I will try not to take any next time. Thanks for the video.
I've done the same before in the past and it was totally fine. It's just an extra recommendation from professionals. But, I wouldn't worry about it. I really hope you get some great results!
@@LifeDIY Thanks lovely. I love it. I am so excited to be doing it as a routine once every 6-8 weeks. Thanks for all the tips. :)
Can i apply cortecosteroid/fusidic acid mixture just after microneedling for 2 to 3 days? Or any other topical anti inflammatory
@@memoonasaeed4408 I don’t believe you should.
I totally forgot and put my glycolic toner on the next day 😭 but I won’t do it again.
big mistake put exfoliator agent to your skin after microneedling
Do you think I could use the cerave spf 50 hydrating lotion as my spf after I microneedle?
I have done microneedling at 2 different places and both of them gave me different after care advices...The first one said, no retinol, no vitamin c. The other one said the total different. She meant now is the time for these active ingredients to really be able to penetrate deep into the skin. And she also said to avoid oils, ceramides cos that somehow blocked the process in the skin. What is your thoughts about all this? I dont know what to belive to be honest...Thank you in advance!
Hi Maria! I have watched a lot of experts speak about this topic and read many after care pamphlets from offices, but I am not an estetician. I will try to help though! Many (or most) places will say to wait at least 3 days before using an active ingredient like retin A or vitamin C (some places being more careful will say to wait 5 days or until your skin is no longer pink). I know you are not supposed to use oils on the day of the treatment itself. I've also heard some experts state that you can resume your normal skincare after 1 day! So, it is very very confusing! I think they are all just trying to avoid you from having irritation or problems, where they could get in trouble, or have issues and need to help you further. Personally, I think ceramides are incredible for the skin and if you have a product that has pure, good ingredients, I would think it would be good to use once you resume normal skincare.
I think if you were to use retinol or vitamin C, shortly after needling, you will probably have peeling and you may have stronger positive results once the peeling stops. But, I think most people are trying to avoid having their clients dealing with irritation. Some people can handle it (their skin can handle it) and others might get upset if their skin gets irritated or inflamed. I think it is entirely up to you, what you decide to do, depending on what you want to have happen. I personally don't think it's a good idea to use any actives the day of the treatment - just hyaluronic acid serum. I just did a little microneedling yesterday and even today my skin is burning when I put products on it. So, if I were to use anything with Vitamin C or retinol, I will have redness, burning and peeling a lot. My skin has just been irritated lately though. So, I need to wait a few days or more. So, I think it's important to gauge how your skin is doing and what you want to do. If you don't mind peeling and you want a deeper exfoliation and your skin is fine after a couple of days, I would think it would be up to you to try that retinol or vitamin C if you want to (just know that you will probably peel). If you really wanted to do it sooner, for me I would wait until at least the day after the treatment. I am sorry I don't have a better answer but I think it's your choice and up to you and what you want to get out of the treatment. For me, I have accidentally used an some active ingredients a couple of times the day of microneedling and my skin got irritated right after needling (but it was ok, just peeling and dry and sore) and then it peeled for a couple of days and then my skin looked great. :) I will do more research on this to see if any experts prefer to use this stuff with the actual treatment. :)
Coconut oil can be comedogenic for some.
Why is not my face peeling after MTS?
I had little very little peelinf around my nose area
I didn't know about the antiinflammatories and that seems like a good tip that I didn't think about because I take celecoxib daily that might count as one.
Just had my second session done 6 weeks after the first. Can't find hyaluronic acid serum, so I'm just getting by with aloe with no additives.
Hi! How long should one wait after a peel to start with retinol again? Also should retinol be stopped few days before going for peels/microneedling?
Thanks♥️
Hi, I would like to know how far from a peel (TCA or Glycolic) do you proceed microneedling ? How long do you wait after a peel before proceeding microneedling and how long do you wait after microneedling before starting a peel again ? Hope this is understandable haha I am French and this question was tough for me. Thanks for your videos ❤️
Hi Marguax. I plan to do a video on this or put it on my website as a cheat sheet because people have been asking me this A LOT! I will try to help. This is based on extensive research and what the experts recommend. If you do a TCA peel, you should generally wait for the peeling to be completed & then one week later, it is fine to do microneedling. If you do a much milder superficial peel (like a lower strength glyclolic acid) then most people with normal skin should be fine in a few days, to do microneedling. After microneeding, it's a good idea to wait about 10 days before doing a TCA peel. Some people (without sensitive skin) can do a glycolic peel a bit sooner than that, 5-7 days (sometimes sooner). Also, for retinoids, It is best for you to stop using your retinoid product at least 5 days before your microneedling treatment. After microneedling, you can use your retinoid product about 5 days later.
@@LifeDIY Thanks for this wonderfully detailed answer ❤️
The specialist used vitamin c during the microneedling and after she was done, she rubbed the vitamin c in again... Is that ok?
I have been reading that the omni-present Hyaluronic Acid is contraindicated for any Cancer Patients or post Cancer Survivors. Finding it pretty mind blowing that this is not spoken about.
I will look into this. Thank you.
Really excellent, thank you!
You are welcome! :)
Okay, what size needle did you use? No one who micro needles ever mentions this.
I love the Hyluronic acid you mentioned. And the Dr. Pen.
Thanks! I always use the 12 pin cartridges!
Hi, I have The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid and Rose Hip Seed Oil in my skincare already. I was wondering whether or not I should use them after I derma roll my stretch marks? I'm not sure what to use before/after the needles in the following week. This is my first experience with this and I am very excited!
287KatieBug, I am so very sorry for not replying sooner. How is it going with the needling? Dermarolling is a bit different than microneedling with a pen. When I used to dermaroll, I would use ingredients like those you mentioned and oils too. If you were to microneedle with a pen, then you need to be more careful. I haven't done dermarolling in a long time and need a bit of a refresher as I am not sure if oils are still advised to be used after or ok, etc. So, I think this video might help: czcams.com/video/DpO_cJCXAMM/video.html as Gin Amber is a total expert with the rollers.
I am new with my Dr Pen, and I desinfect with CDS and afterwards I mixed DMSO and fresh Aloe Vera. But DMSO is also antiinflammatory, but it activates healing and is against wrinkles too, this is, why I used it . But now you said no Antiinflammatories? And how is it with sea - water? I live near the cost and love to swim....I thought salt water desinfect too? Probably it burns, but today's I haven't had any problems after doing the procedure
dont the Vitamics ( C and other) have like magnifying effect directly after derma rolling? as they say they penetrate 10 times faster and deeper? but what you said just confused me, yes avoid chemical based stuff but one of the purpose if derma rolling is to have a deeper effect of vitamins and serums?
confused.
Hi Crypto Life, sorry for not replying sooner. I get what you are saying. When I used to do derma rolling - I would use almost any products afterwards and it was fine as the rolling wasn't as deep as it is with the Dr. Pen or microneedling pen. If you go to a clinic or office setting to get needling done with a pen, they sometimes use a peptide-type serum afterwards - or sell it to you to use. Those products are usually pretty pricey and often designed specifically for use after needling with a pen. They make sure the ingredients are as safe as possible. Most people doing this at home, are often just recommended to use hyaluronic serum and it is mostly to be safe - so you don't create any skin issues or irritation or problems. But, vitamin C, in particular, is usually not recommended right after doing a treatment as it is an acid and could cause a ton of irritation. Basically, it is totally up to you if you think your skin can handle certain products after microneedling. I did a microneedling treatment a few days ago and on day 2 after the treatment I decided to use a non-acid non-irritating (so I thought) product that had a bunch of great skin ingredients. My skin felt like it was on fire and got super irritated and inflamed, so I washed it off. Prior to putting it on, I thought my skin was calmed down enough from the needling the day before but it wasn't.Normally I wait a few days up to four days before resuming regular skincare products. So, I mostly use hyaluronic for the first few days after. I'm not sure if I answered your question, but overall many doctors avoid those products just to avoid possible problems. The skin is so sensitive for the first few days after a treatment - if the treatment is done with a microneedling pen.
Also one last thing - I think many people do use these great ingredients while doing a lower depth session with a microneedling pen with nano needles. But anything with active ingredients could possibly irritate the skin.
@@LifeDIY thankyou for the detailed response :)
Yes when i apply vitamin c directly after derma rolling it causes a burning sensation, but it goes away like in an hour so i kept applying it to have an enhanced effect.
I use 0.5mm derma roller with i think 176 needles.
so can i keep on ? or should i use hyaluronic instead.
Thankyou
@@cryptolife7394 please be careful when using vitamin C directly after derma rolling. There has been evidence that using vit C directly after derma rolling in some cases has led to facial allergic granulomatous reaction of the skin which is a permanent condition and vitamin c was directly to blame. Please be careful. This is from a dermatologic point of view.
@@cryptolife7394 i don't mean to scare you, just concerned. :)
Life & DIY hi! What about Trentinoin (retinol) - how long before/after dermapenning can I use it? Thank you for all your wonderful content x PS a big CZcamsr just reviewed your dermapenning technique 🤔 he was a bit wishy washy about it but I’m not sure I care too much for his opinion on that though. Love your videos!
Thank you for the nice comment! The experts recommend waiting about 5 days after needling, to resume using Retin A. And I think they recommend stopping 2 or 3 days before needling, but I need to double check that. The youtuber, was it Hyram? :)
Life & DIY thank you, that‘s super helpful info! Yup, that was him - never heard of him but I saw you in the thumbnail and clicked 😅
@@scullymariam1922 Oh ok! Yeah I was nervous when I heard about that video but it was alright. He was fairly nice to me on there! He seems really nice, even when criticizing! ;) I don't agree with him on some skincare things but he is interesting! I had never heard of him before either until then, but he has a big channel. Thanks for the comments! If you have more questions, let me know!
Please Answer::
How often should I use 0.5 needle?
Does micro needling help with hypopigmentation (not hyperpigmentation) due to skin injury? (Your other video I noticed your hypopigmentation from your chicken pox scar didn’t go away)
Can I use any needle higher than 0.5 needle on toes?
What do you put on your face right after microneedling and for the next few days what do you put on your face, Lotion or Serum ?
I only use hyaluronic acid serum for the first few days.
Excuse me,I have a question 🤔After how many days i can use repair products?like serum or essence that contains snail mucous or avene cicalfate?
Hello friend, I love your videos, really helpful. I am thinking to get me one of these Dr. Pen but would like to ask a few questions before. I have acne scars and tend to get a lot of pimples still. Is it recomended to use at this point? Also, do I throw away the needle after each use? The nose can be done as well, or no?
If your doing it at home, how often should you do it? And are you supposed to do it for the rest of your life?
Hi 🙂
What’s the difference between Cos De Baha and Timeless HA Serums?
When I looked ingredient lists online they looked pretty similar?
And both are fragrance free HMW HA Serums.
I know, Penn (Smith) recommend Cos De Baha, but they don’t ship to my county :/
It’s frustrating, that most companies don’t tell, what molecular weight HA they are using.
And nowadays most of them use multi/low molecular weight HAs, but when microneedling
(esp. with 0.5 or bigger needless) we should only use non inflammatory High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Serums, like Penn said 😘
Hey Mari,
Good question! I need to take some time to research this. I think they are pretty similar but I don't know about the molecular weight of the Timeless one. A lot of people like that one as well. Does that one ship to your country? :) I will try to do more research on this. PS - I did find out that the Timeless one is low molecular weight. I was trying to find one other than Cos De Baha that is high molecular weight, but haven't been able to find one yet. I will keep searching.
Life & DIY Yes, Timeless ships even to my country, and when I looked Cos De Baha ingredients from Amazon, there was almost identical ingredients between those two.
But when I finally found the own web site of Cos De Baha there was different inci! So the real difference is, that Timeless HA has two not so good (at least for dermarolling) ingredients; Benzyl alcohol and Dehydratic Acid, but Cos De Baha has just 1,2 -Hexanediol, even if both have just water + 1% HMW HA.
So was super glad, when I found out, that their own site ships to Finland too 😆
The only down side is, that shipping takes so much time from Korea 😖 But usually it’s still worth it, because of my dry, sensitive skin loves hydrating Korean skin care routine & products!!
Do you have any K-Beauty faves 💙?
Two questions
What if I took ibuprofen the day of my treatment before i receive microneedling?
What if I wore sunscreen next day after treatment? Mineral
Is it okay to use the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 moisturiser post treatment? It’s said to be packed with reparative ingredients to support skin recovery?
Also, the day after my skin needling I went for a walk but had a hat on and sunscreen - was that okay?
Thankyou! needed to hear some of this :)
You are so welcome, Alex. ☀
How about bb glow? Can these steps be applied after bb glow microneedle sessions?
I just ordered the Kirk's and cotz both. I've always used Dr bronners peppermint but I think it may be too harsh after the microneedling. thanks for the recommendations!
You are so welcome. Sorry for my late reply. I know the Kirk's soap is amazing for any after-care (after a peel or days after needling when you want to wash the face). It is mild and soothing. I really hope you like the Cotz as well. I have tried so many mineral sunscreens and it's actually the best one I've used so far. :)
How long did it take for the redness to go away after you’re done? I want to buy the pen I have some scars but I’ve never tried microneedling before.
I would say a few hours - sometimes longer. It's hard to tell because I do it at night and stay up a few hours after and then go to sleep. The next morning it is fine (no longer red) but there may be some splotchy areas or little areas that I worked on deeper that are streaky but it could be covered up easily...sometimes looks like a little scratch. Overall, redness stays for a few hours for me. :)
can you use a gentle moisturizer at night - on the first day ?
Love this thank you!!!!
You are welcome!
Thank you for the video, what would you clean the face before, during and after treatment.
Before the treatment, I wash my face and then use a toner and then clean it with alcohol. Afterwards, I only use hyaluronic serum on it!
very helpful. Thanks
Hello! You recommend Cotz sunscreen, would you recommend the red packaging or the light blue packaging?
i just did my microneedling today and i had a 2nd session after 4 week between that can i use kojic acid soap to wash my face?
Kojic is so bad!! Pls, avoid it bfr it ruins your skin.
How about moisturizer? What kind of moisturuzer we should use after microneedling treatment? Thanks
Only hyaluronic serum for the first couple days or so.
Im currently using tretinoin. How long should I wait to do a microneeedling? Is it safe to wait a week/month? Thanks for a great video 🌸
72 hours
@@syfer5812 thanks
What moisturizer can I use? I was thinking of cerave lotion. Also for the cleanser can I also use the oil cleanser by cerave
I'm going to get it done professionally and I don't want to feel any pain because if I do, I won't come back for remaining sessions. Is it okay to take hydrocodone? Not sure if it's anti-inflammatory...
Thank you
You are so welcome!
When can I wash my face after the first treatment?
Some people rinse their face a few hours after doing the treatment, with just water. The next morning is another time many people will splash the face with water. It is just not recommended to use any soaps or harsh products on the skin for a few days after the treatment. :)
@Jay Zeus Hi Jay! Yes, after about a week it should be fine! :)
Is an oil cleansing method safe to use after this?
So pretty ❤
Hi mam how many times in a month we can used dr.pens microneedling . And also you are super detailing everything about microneedling . If want I can send pics if the face .
I just had a session of microneedle treatment. The spa remind me to use moisturiser, but i just realized my moisturiser has centella asiatica which has anti inflammatory properties. My face on the 1st day was not that red or inflammed.
Did i just interupted the natural healing process?
Also the moisturiser got squalene, its retinoid right? Oh my..
I always use a panthenol cream after the microneedling session because it helps with the "burning" sensation as it's really moisturizing. Should I avoid doing this? From what I read, dexpanthenol has some anti-inflamatory properties... or do you think it's fine?
Honestly, I've used things I wasn't supposed to on my skin - during and after microneedling. For example, avocado oil, snail serum and some other products. Thankfully I did that when I wasn't using a microneedling pen and I used a roller, lightly. I was lucky I had no problems. But now I am only using Hyaluronic acid and I would use PRP (Platelet rich plasma) if I had it. I found this article that might help you: barefacedtruth.com/2014/10/21/cosmeceuticals-applied-skin-microneedling-safety-efficacy-restoration-sanity/. I did some research trying to learn more about Panthenol and it seems like a good, natural type ingredient. I found that some clinics where people have had the procedure, recommended a type of cream after the procedure and it contained a small amount of panthenol. But, I have also read that it is better to use only products that are somewhat natural - ie: hyaluronic. I'm sorry I don't have a definitive answer but I will try to find out - I will keep researching.
Also, I was reading a medical journal which shared a few case studies of people having delayed immunological reactions to certain products during and right after treatments. It said in their conclusion "The use of topical products in conjunction with microneedling needs to be regulated and limited to products approved for intradermal injection in humans." The medical information and problems they endured as delayed immunological responses occurred, made me think it is really best to be safe and use the most minimal products necessary. The most basic one that people recommend is hyaluronic serum. For me, I wouldn't risk it.
Any aftercare tips for microneedling your scalp?
I take a collagen powder supplement for hair, face, and nails. Is okay to continue taking that after a microneedling session?
Does it help for dark spots?
Yes
Hi, thank you for the insight. So you say right after the treatment and your face is still kinda red and some small pinpoint bleeding, you CAN wash your face clean with a natural soap like you mentioned? THEN you can apply more of the hyaluronic acid serum to face and let it sit/beging healing with very little contact of the face and exposure to sun for at least 24 hours? Thanks just wondering how to manage the first 1-24 hours after process.
Thanks for your question! I personally keep the hyaluronic acid serum on my face from the treatment time. Then, my skin usually feels weird and inflamed for sometimes a few hours after, and I don't wash it with soap then. If the texture of my skin is gross from the hyaluronic serum, I will wash my face with some water and that's all. If my face is sore or irritated, I sometimes just use a spray bottle with water and spray it on my face (the first few hours after the treatment). Something like 12 hours after the treatment, I would be ok with gently washing the face with some mild soap (I like Kirk's Castile soap for this), but otherwise I may just rinse it with water. I think many doctors have stated that after 12 hours, it's safe as the channels or holes should be closed up.
Can we use peptide+collagen +it has EGF ...anti inflammation..during the process.
How long should you wait after the treatment to rinse your face ?
thank you for all the GREAT tips! i struggles with dark circles and hollows under my eyes, did you see any improvement in the fullness and brightness under your eyes after the treatment? :)
Alexa, I am so sorry I missed this comment! I have noticed some changes with the under eyes but it kind of goes in cycles. I think if you were to do this, and peels, you could really see results. I've seen the most results with my under eyes from doing peels regularly over the years. :) I think the microneedling will help but it takes more time possibly.
@@LifeDIY thank you for the response :D!
@@LifeDIY I'm wondering what kind of peels you use for under eyes?
how do I keep my blemishes away after I do microneedling? I often get somehow small or big pimples on my face even if I have a good skin care routine & after microneedling I get them aswell even if I keep everything clean... I noticed I get them even easier after rolling & what I noticed that works pretty well to get rid of them is bha ... is there anything else I can use at least the day after to prevent blemishes & to prevent make them bigger ??
12.56AM I know what you mean..I used Adapalene just on the spot, it helped.
@@gii-_gii_4500 i just googled it, it looks like some type of vitamin a exfoliant? is that not too harsh for the skin after needling idk..?
Yes it is, but you put it only to the pimple, do not apply to your face. Just put it on the tip of your finger, or use earbud and apply directly to the effected area. Thats how I did it, and in the next two days it was gone. For the rest of the face I applied aloe gel, worked very well. Its my 3d day after needling and I my skin is much better:)
My skin is like burn after healing process I don't know. But I just wash is with water and put vit e
Mine too! It definitely burns the first day, sometimes for a couple days. Then it gets a little more back to normal after 3-5 days. :)
Can i use aloe vera gel + vit C and bioderma cleansing as a daily wash ? I just have started my microneedeling seccions
After microneedling, can i put Vitamin E Lotion after putting Hyaluronic Serum?
I have pimples on my face. Can i still use derma roll? If i can then what should i apply on my skin after rolling
You are the best 😁
Thanks Manuel :)
Amazing tips thanks 👍
You're welcome, Mark!
Life & DIY: really nice you acknowledge my comment, honestly the advice in this video is amazing. I’ve obviously subscribed to your channel. Blessings 🙏
Thank you so much, Mark. I really appreciate your comment, you stopping by and you subscribing! 🌞
What moisturizer do you use?? Just hyluranic acid(sorry don’t know how to spell it lmao) and do you think grape seed oil would b a good moisturizer(I use that normally) or will oil kinda make your skin burn? If so maybe Cetaphil? also when can you go back to your normal skincare routine and exfoliate or use harsher products
Hi Tawny, To be extra safe - after doing a lot of research on this, now I only use Hyaluronic acid serum during the treatment. I have used other things in the past and a little oil also but I have been advised not to - though it's good I had no bad reactions, it is not supposed to actually help if used. I know that seems weird because you probably normally use the grape seed oil and it is great, but for this treatment you should just wait a few days or more before using it again - once your skin feels less sore and more getting back to normal. Your skin will be sensitive and may burn or tingle a little for the first day to three days. I Just did a treatment about a week ago and on day 3 I felt fine to use some of my other more normal moisturizers. I prefer to keep using the hyaluronic, then adding avocado oil and I have this other peptide serum I got from MakeupArtistsChoice which I started to use after day 3. Some people recommend waiting for about 5 days before going back to normal completely. Definitely nothing harsh and no major exfoliation for about five days. I hope this helps!
Also one more thing - since I didn't fully answer your question. Once it's safe to do and my skin is returning to normal after a few or more days, I use the things I mentioned above but if my skin is extra dry then I also use other moisturizers. The ones I currently use are: IT cosmetics facial lotion (not sure what the actual name is) but it has wonderful ingredients and First Aid Beauty Lotion - which is also not harsh at all and very moisturizing. If I felt like spending some more, my past absolute favorite moisturizer ever (I need to buy it again) is Ceramidin cream or their serum. The stuff is incredible.
Ok !!! Thank u so so much for your advise it’s much appreciated:))
You are so welcome! Let me know if you ever have more questions!
I’m using this for the first time today, after how many days can I start applying the vitamin c serum? And how many times a week can I use the .25mm for? Thanks in advance
Hi there! Most doctors say no active ingredients like Vitamin C for first week and until redness is gone. Though some doctors are more lenient and state it is ok after about 3 or 4 days.
@@LifeDIY I have seen beauty bloggers use vit c searum right after they do derma rolling at home..
I'm on day 3 after microneedling. Can I start using my barrier relief niacinimide serum?
Can i use peeling mask from the ordinary straight after 1 week healing process ??
Thank you for your recommendations. I just have one question. What could happen if after the treatment I received a lot of heat in my face?
Thanks. This happens to me and it does go away in a few hours for me. :)
Hello i have a questions my skin is uper super dry i have done mocroneedling couple of times but this time my skin is super irritating and feel dry, i've just done days ago what should use now?? please help thanks
Hey can I apply hyaluronic serum right after mirco needling and keep it over night please reply ?
Yes definitely.
Can we use natural aloevera after using derma roller??
I use a regimen by SkinMedica it’s anti aging and one is retinol... should I stay away from my regimen after the microneedling for a few days?
From what I've read from doctors and clinic's aftercare procedures, they say definitely to stay away from anything "active" with retinol for the first week, and also until the skin redness is gone. That's usually gone in a few days though. I do know - though it isn't recommended, that some people have used retinol in conjunction with dermaneedling. But, be prepared for lots of peeling. I did this once on accident after derma rolling years ago - wasn't paying much attention that night and put retinol (mixed with lotion - diluted) on after I did derma rolling earlier. Basically, a few days later my skin got really tight and then peeled a decent amount. The derma rolling I did at that time though was much less harsh, less severe with the roller vs. this pen.
@@LifeDIY Thanks for sharing that information. It does make logical sense to stay away from those chemical while the skin is repair and already produce those chemicals because of the pen anyway. Thanks again. :)
No problem, you're welcome. Do you like using the SkinMedica regimen? I should look into that too. :)
@@LifeDIY Yes i love it tbh! I got it because it helps maintain the benefits of microneedling etc. I am a member of the Brilliant Distinctions as I get lip filler and i collect points and earn rewards with them and they sell SkinMedica and you can earn points from purchasing SkinMedica from them.
Wow, interesting. I will look into this!
I had a really good micro needling session yesterday and she went pretty deep because the numbing agent was really good. Today, I’m peeling like crazy and the dead skin on the face makes me look wrinkled and aged. It’s hard not to exfoliate. When can I start exfoliating
Wow you are peeling so soon! Some people don't peel at all and for me it takes a few days or more. It is normal for the skin to look way worse the first 5 days (or slightly worse anyway). If it was a real deep session though that makes sense that it looks even worse than normal. Experts often say to wait about 4 days and until all redness and sensitivity are gone, before exfoliating or using active products again. :)
@@LifeDIY thanks for responding. I actually used an exfoliating buffer the day after treatment which triggered my skin to start peeling in patches and it was really irritated afterwards. After I watched your video, I realized I moved to fast exfoliating and backed off. 🥺 The peeling is minimal now but this is all a learn process. ☺️
Aww glad your skin is healing now. Definitely a learning process and I'm sure I've done the same thing in the past. I hope you get really great results!
So can I do my normal skin care after I micro needle, the day of? I have all natural ingredient products like a green tea toner, green tea eye cream, moisturizer, and sleeping mask?
The day of microneedling, your skin will be sore and sensitive and you may still have hyaluronic acid serum on it (which is the only thing recommended to use during and after needling). The day of the treatment, there is no need to put anything else on your face. Sometimes I spray water with my spray bottle as my face hurts and is sore. I cannot use a normal skincare product again until day 3. Some people are ok using their normal products on day 2 though - but none are recommended on the day of the treatment.
When can you wash your face after a treatment?
