After your microneedling treatment with Dr. Pen, you may notice that your skin appears red and inflamed, but it will also look plump and dewy due to the influx of healthy cells and platelets. The full effects of the microneedling will become apparent between days 7 to 14 and beyond, as this period allows your skin to heal completely and maximize collagen production.

While many people think that applying active ingredients and retinol immediately after treatment will enhance their results, doing so too soon can actually harm the skin and interfere with its natural healing processes. For optimal results, it’s best to stick to using only hyaluronic acid during the healing phase, as this is a naturally occurring ingredient in your body that supports hydration and skin recovery.
