The number of sessions varies based on individual skin concerns. Generally, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

Most clients experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a day or two. Makeup can be applied the next day.

Results are noticeable as the skin continues to rejuvenate. However, the full effects become apparent over a few weeks, and improvements may continue for several months.

Yes, Microneedling can complement other skincare treatments. Your personalised treatment plan may include a combination of procedures for enhanced results.

Here are our guidelines to follow during the initial 48 hours after your session to achieve the best results from your treatment.

1. Sun Exposure

Protect your newly treated skin from direct sun exposure even in the Nottingham climate! Sunburn and UV rays can be harsh on sensitised skin and potentially cause irritation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF40 and wear a wide-brimmed hat if it is especially sunny.

2. Active Skincare Products

Refrain from using skincare products that contain harsh chemicals, strong acids, or retinoids. Stick to gentle, hydrating products recommended by our skin professionals.

3. Makeup Application

Hold off on applying makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment. After that, you can resume your normal makeup routine, but ensure your brushes are clean and won't irritate your skin.

4. Intense Physical Activities

Avoid intense workouts and activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 48 hours. Sweating can potentially irritate the skin, and we want to give your skin time to heal and recover.

5. Hot Showers and Baths

Opt for lukewarm water instead of hot showers or baths. Hot water can be drying to the skin and may increase the risk of irritation.

6. Touching or Picking

Resist the temptation to touch or pick at your skin, even if you feel mild itching. Let the healing process take its course, and avoid introducing unnecessary bacteria to the treated areas.

7. Swimming

Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or any water source that may contain bacteria. Submerging your face can increase the risk of infection during the initial healing phase.

8. Skincare Procedures

Refrain from other skincare procedures, including chemical peels or laser treatments, during the first week post-microneedling. Allow your skin time to recover from the microneedling process.

By following these guidelines, you will contribute to the success of your treatment, ensuring your skin heals properly and you achieve optimal results. If you have any specific concerns or questions about your aftercare, don't hesitate to reach out to your skin professional at Joshua Tree.
