What skin care should I follow after ultrasound, laser, or gold microneedling?

After an energy-based treatment, the skin first goes through a process of being stimulated and then repairing. When Dr.Evers Clinic · Busan Seomyeon explains post-treatment care, it focuses on five things: recovery, sun protection, cleansing, scabbing, and hot environments.

How should I care for my skin when it is dry, itchy, tight, or red?

Strengthen recovery and moisturizing, and stop irritating products at the same time.

• Use a purely moisturizing mask or one containing B5 to help the skin recover.
• Stop all whitening, retinol, and acid products for 1 to 2 weeks.

I am worried about hyperpigmentation or sunburn — how should I protect my skin from the sun?

Protect strictly from the sun, and handle it in stages.

• For the first 3 days, use a hat and mask for physical sun protection.
• After scabbing, apply a gentle SPF30+ sunscreen.

What are the requirements for water temperature and technique when washing my face?

Use lukewarm water around 30°C with a gentle amino acid cleanser, wash by pressing, and do not rub hard.

What should I do about scabs or small wounds after microneedling?

Do not scratch; let the scabs fall off naturally. Picking them off by force easily leaves hyperpigmentation or scars.

Which hot environments should I avoid for a while?

For 1 week, do not go to saunas, hot springs, or jjimjilbangs, and do not do intense anaerobic exercise.
