Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a popular cosmetic procedure for treating various skin issues. It involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to stimulate collagen production. However, understanding and following proper aftercare is essential for achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects.
Let's chat about how to care for your skin after the first 48 hours.
Immediate Aftercare (First 2 Days)
The initial 48 hours post-procedure are crucial in ensuring a swift and efficient healing process. It’s essential to:
Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent irritation and damage to sensitive skin. If necessary, wear a hat or scarf for additional protection.
Skip Makeup
Allow your skin to breathe and recover by avoiding makeup and other cosmetic products.
Stay Cool
Avoid strenuous exercises, saunas, and hot showers that can intensify inflammation or redness.
For enhanced comfort and healing immediately after the procedure (at the clinic), apply a thick layer of TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel 10g similar to the thickness of a 20-cent coin, over the treated area, like applying a mask to soothe and protect the treated area. Allow the gel to absorb into the skin; you can cover it with a loose dressing if needed.
Introducing TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel 10g
To enhance the recovery process, consider incorporating TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel 10g by Tissue Repair into your aftercare routine. This gel is specifically designed for rapid absorption, quickly seeping into the skin and forming a breathable biofilm that hydrates and protects against infection.
The universal application allows it to be applied effortlessly to all skin areas, making it a versatile addition to your post-microneedling care. Users will experience a brief, mild stinging sensation followed by a cooling effect and potential skin tightening, indicating the start of the soothing process.
Key Ingredients
1- Water, Ethanol, Triethanolamine, Carbomer: Facilitate rapid absorption and soothing.
2- Beta-Glucan (Glucoprime® 0.1%): Known for enhancing skin healing and reducing redness.
3- Titanium Dioxide: Adds to the gel’s protective qualities [1].

Extended Care (First Week)
Gentle Cleansing
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the skin gently. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating the area.
Moisturize
Apply a hydrating and soothing moisturizer to alleviate dryness and flakiness. Products containing hyaluronic acid can be particularly beneficial.
Sunscreen Application
Begin using a broad-spectrum SPF to protect the new skin from sun exposure, even when indoors.
TR Pro+ in Extended Care
TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel complements this routine, promoting faster healing and reduced redness thanks to its Beta-Glucan content.
For the next four days post-procedure, clean your skin gently with a mild cleanser during your nightly showers.
- Apply a generous layer of the gel over the treated area, as described above.
- The gel will take some time to absorb into the skin, and you can cover it with a loose dressing if necessary.
- Use moisturizer after morning showers and as needed throughout the day to prevent skin dryness.
Key Takeaway:
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal skin needling results, including avoiding sun exposure, makeup, and strenuous activities for the first 48 hours. Incorporate specialized products like TR Pro+ Post Procedure Aesthetic Gel to enhance healing and reduce side effects.
