The practice of applying cosmetic products to the face following a microneedling procedure requires careful consideration. Microneedling creates micro-injuries to the skin, initiating a healing response. Introducing makeup too early can potentially impede this process and increase the risk of complications.
Allowing the skin adequate time to recover post-treatment is paramount to realizing the full benefits of microneedling. Premature application of makeup can lead to irritation, infection, and delayed healing. Furthermore, certain makeup ingredients may exacerbate inflammation or trigger adverse reactions on compromised skin.
