The application of cosmetic products following a micro needling procedure is a frequently asked question. Micro needling creates microscopic punctures in the skin, temporarily compromising the epidermal barrier. Introducing makeup immediately afterward can potentially introduce irritants and bacteria into these open channels.
Refraining from applying makeup post-procedure is vital for optimal healing and to minimize the risk of infection or adverse reactions. The skin requires time to recover and rebuild its protective barrier. Avoiding makeup allows the skin to breathe and prevents pore clogging, supporting the natural healing process. This practice helps safeguard against potential complications and promotes the benefits of the treatment.
