What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, often referred to as collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface.

In-clinic, this process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. While traditional dermarolling has been popular, microneedling offers more precise and controlled results.

At Qure Skincare, we've taken microneedling a step further with our Micro Infusion facial system. This at-home treatment combines the benefits of microneedling with our specially formulated serum and 24K gold-plated clinical-grade needles, ensuring a luxurious and effective experience.

What to Expect After Microneedling

Post-microneedling, it's normal to experience redness and sensitivity, akin to a mild sunburn. This reaction indicates that your skin is beginning its healing process. Over the next few days, you might notice slight swelling or tightness as collagen production ramps up.

From our experience, the Qure Micro Infusion system offers a gentler alternative. Thanks to its controlled micro-channels and high-quality materials, users typically experience only 24 hours of mild sensitivity, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Microneedling Aftercare

Gentle Cleansing

After microneedling, your skin is temporarily more sensitive and vulnerable. That means no hot water, no harsh scrubs, and no aggressive cleansers. Stick with a mild, fragrance-free face wash and use lukewarm water to rinse.

For those using the Qure Micro Infusion system, we recommend doing your treatment at night and waiting until the following morning to wash your face. This gives our serum enough uninterrupted time to absorb and work its magic.

Hydration Is Key

Think of hydration as your skin's best friend during recovery. After microneedling, your skin works overtime to repair itself, and it needs moisture to do that effectively. Use a gentle, hydrating face serum—hyaluronic acid is a great option—and follow up with a clean, nourishing moisturizer.

With our Micro Infusion system, you're already getting a powerhouse of skin-loving ingredients during treatment, but adding extra hydration afterward keeps the glow going strong. Just make sure everything you apply is fragrance-free and formulated for sensitive skin.

Sun Protection

Your skin is extra sensitive to UV rays in the days following microneedling. Even if it's cloudy outside or you're staying in, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. It's non-negotiable.

Sun exposure during this time can lead to irritation or uneven pigmentation. That said, if you're using the Qure Micro Infusion device, your downtime is shorter: typically just 24 to 48 hours of avoiding direct sunlight. Still, daily SPF is a must. Consider it part of your permanent skincare toolkit.

Avoid Makeup

Post-microneedling, your skin needs room to breathe. Using makeup after microneedling too soon can clog healing micro-channels and introduce bacteria, which could lead to irritation or breakouts.

Aim to keep your skin bare for at least 24 hours after using our Micro Infusion system. It's the perfect excuse to rock your natural radiance, and honestly, you'll probably notice your skin looks fresh enough not to need makeup anyway.

Stay Cool

Working up a sweat right after microneedling isn't ideal.. Sweat carries bacteria that can aggravate your sensitive skin, potentially leading to redness or breakouts. That's why we recommend skipping hot yoga, intense exercise after microneedling, or steamy saunas for at least 48 hours.

But if you've used our Qure Micro Infusion device, you're in luck—most people only need to wait about 24 hours before resuming their usual routine.

What Should You Put On Your Skin After Microneedling?

Post-treatment, your skin craves gentle and nourishing products. The best products to use after microneedling are hydrating serums containing hyaluronic acid can help replenish moisture.

Additionally, using products with calming ingredients can soothe any redness or irritation. Always ensure that any product applied is free from harsh chemicals and fragrances to prevent adverse reactions.

What Should You Avoid After Microneedling?

To ensure optimal healing, avoid using exfoliants, retinoids, or any products containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids for at least a week post-treatment. These can be too harsh for your sensitized skin.

With Qure's Micro Infusion, you should wait 2-3 days before using exfoliants again. Also, refrain from picking or scratching the treated area, as this can lead to scarring or infection.

Benefits Of Microneedling

Smooths Out The Appearance Of Fine Lines And Wrinkles

One of the biggest reasons people turn to microneedling is for its anti-aging power. Over time, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Think of it as a little nudge to remind your skin to keep things tight and youthful. And the best part? Our Micro Infusion system makes this process safe, easy, and doable from your bathroom mirror.

Boosts Skin Texture And Tone

If your skin is feeling a bit dull or rough, microneedling can be a total game-changer. It helps to refine the surface of the skin by stimulating cell turnover and evening out tone.

That means smoother, softer skin that looks healthier overall. With regular use of our Micro Infusion tool, we've found that users experience a visible improvement in glow and clarity. From our experience, this is one of the fastest benefits people notice.

Fades The Look OF Scars And Hyperpigmentation

Old acne scars? Dark spots from sun exposure? Microneedling can help with those, too. By promoting the skin's natural regeneration process, it gradually softens the look of scars and breaks down uneven pigmentation.

According to our research and customer feedback, the results are even better when using our Micro Infusion system paired with our specially formulated serum, designed to calm and brighten skin after each use. It's a gentle way to target those stubborn spots without harsh treatments.

Makes Your Skincare Work Smarter

Here's a bonus that surprises a lot of people: microneedling helps your skincare products absorb better. The micro-channels created during treatment allow serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

We specifically designed our Micro Infusion serum to take full advantage of this, with ingredients that hydrate, soothe, and nourish—right when your skin needs it most. It's like upgrading your entire skincare routine with one simple tool.
