Hi. This is an excellent question. I recommend avoiding sun exposure 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after microneedling. It's important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects from UVA and UVB rays. Best of luck!
When undergoing any facial treatment, it is important to limit sun exposure before and after the treatment to prevent potential hypo- or hyperpigmentation. While specific recommendations may vary among providers, a general guideline is to avoid sun exposure for approximately two weeks before and after treatment. Wearing sunscreen and a hat are effective ways to protect the face from unwanted sun exposure during facial treatments.
To maintain the results of microneedling, it is advised to avoid sun exposure 2 weeks before and after the treatment. Continued sun protection beyond 2 weeks is important to prevent premature aging. It is recommended to use a sunscreen with physical blockers (zinc and/or titanium dioxide) that protects from UVA/UVB and infrared.
After microneedling, it is important to protect the skin from the sun by using sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight for about a week. Consult with a dermatologist for personalized guidance.
