Avoiding Sun After & Before Microneedling

  Hi and thank you for your question! As a general rule, we should always try to avoid/minimize unprotected sun exposure regardless of the treatment and just to maintain healthy skin. This being said, microneedling is considered a "color-blind" treatment meaning that it is not affected much by the skin typing and alike and hence, there are no specific sun avoidance recommendations, other than what you normally do to protect your skin from sun light. I hope it helps and good luck!
