Microneedling Aftercare – Cream & Skin Recovery

Care After Microneedling: What Your Skin Needs Now

Microneedling sets targeted impulses with the finest needles – and leaves skin that is particularly sensitive for a few days. Redness, a feeling of tightness and a temporarily weakened protective barrier are entirely normal during this phase. That makes it all the more important to choose care that irritates nothing and gives the skin everything it needs right now: calm, moisture and protection. The products of the ContinueLine med line were developed under dermatological supervision for sensitive, stressed skin. Their ultra-gentle formulas soothe, provide moisture and accompany the skin's natural regeneration – so that you can enjoy the results of your treatment for a long time.

The first days after microdeedling: calm for the skin

Immediately after treatment, the instructions of your doctor or aesthetician always come first. During the first 24 hours, the skin is usually cleansed with lukewarm water only and left without make-up. As soon as you are allowed to resume your care, ContinueLine Three in One Cleanser cleanses ultra-gently, balances sensitive skin and preserves its natural moisture content. As the finishing step, the light ContinueLine Protection Shield Soft with ceramides, panthenol and sea mayweed settles over the skin like a protective veil, soothes it and leaves a velvety soft feel. For a moment of soothing calm, we recommend the Sensitive Liquid Mask, which calms stressed skin, visibly reduces redness and provides moisture.

Weeks 1 to 2: moisture and resilience

Once the initial sensitivity subsides, the skin longs for intensive nourishment. ContinueLine Soft Tonic refreshes and soothes before ContinueLine Cell&Tissue Activator with hyaluronic acid balances moisture levels and makes the skin look smoother. Dry skin that does not produce enough of its own lipids finds protection against further dryness in the rich ContinueLine Protection Shield Rich with sesame oil and shea butter. Once or twice a week, the Sensitive Heal Mask with white clay and ectoin strengthens and soothes stressed skin and gives it a clear, even complexion.

Sun protection: your most important companion

Freshly treated skin is particularly sensitive to UV radiation. Avoid direct sunlight during the first days and then apply high sun protection every day, such as High Protection Cream SPF 50 from our sun care range.
