Using the right serums alongside your Dr. Pen treatments can significantly enhance the benefits of microneedling. Hyaluronic acid is a top choice, as it hydrates and replenishes the skin, and the micro-channels created during the procedure enhance product absorption, maximizing the effectiveness of any hyaluronic acid-based serum applied afterward. Other beneficial options include peptides, ceramides, and EGF (epidermal growth factor).
Peptides help maintain skin integrity by keeping it firm, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, and improving overall texture and tone. Ceramides aid in faster healing by restoring moisture, which is crucial during and after treatment when your skin may feel tight and flaky due to the procedure. EGF, known for promoting wound healing in medicine, offers additional skin benefits, such as reducing wrinkles, enhancing hydration, and preventing hyperpigmentation.
However, it’s important to avoid retinoids, Vitamin C, and any serums containing acids like AHA, BHA, or lactic acid, as these can irritate the skin post-treatment.
