Is it essential to apply SPF cream after the mesotherapy procedure?

UV rays (UVA and UVB) accelerate skin aging by causing the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Applying a high SPF after treatments like microneedling helps protect the newly stimulated skin from these harmful effects.

How to apply SPF after microneedling mesotherapy

Choose the right product
Use sunscreen with at least SPF 50, offering broad-spectrum protection (UVA and UVB). It is best to choose a formula designed for sensitive or post-treatment skin.
Frequent reapplication
Sunscreen should be reapplied at least every 2-3 hours, especially when spending time outdoors or if the skin is exposed to direct sunlight.
Daily use regardless of weather
Sun protection is necessary both in summer and winter because UV rays penetrate clouds and windows. Regular SPF use is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.
Minimize sun exposure
In the days following the treatment, minimize sun exposure as much as possible. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can provide additional protection for your face.

What are the consequences of neglecting sun protection after the procedure?

Failing to apply SPF after microneedling mesotherapy can lead to serious skin issues, such as:

Hyperpigmentation and dark spots, which can be difficult to remove.
Redness, irritation, and inflammation.
Premature skin aging, characterized by wrinkles and reduced elasticity.
Prolonged recovery time, which can affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

Applying SPF 50 sunscreen after microneedling mesotherapy is essential to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation. Sun protection helps prevent hyperpigmentation, irritation, and premature aging. Regular use of sunscreen, both in summer and winter, is key to maintaining healthy, smooth, and radiant skin.
