1st Microneedling this morning-slightly panicked!

I’m not worried about the actual procedure just wondering how red my face may go & how long the redness fades-any experiences would love to hear them!

My first time, the redness lasted a good few days, and I was a bit of a beetroot. I've been having it for months now and by the next morning, i'm always fine so you will get used to it

Mine was red for the day but not very noticeable by the following day. My skin peeled the first time…

Really? As in bright red or flushed? Are you pleased with the results?

Face is usually bright red but in regards to results its not like botox where there is a notocable change, in my experience it takes a few sessions for your skin to look plumper less fine lines and hydrated

I’ve had it a few times. I try and book it early in the morning. I’m red most of the day but by the next morning it’s fine to out make up on and barely noticeable. Everyone is different though. I always take an antihistamine which helps.

Good tip! I’m booked in for first thing today, back to work monday so hoping it will settle after a couple of days!

I haven’t had it for a while and have noticed the difference without it!
