SQT Bio Microneedling Aftercare Guide Dublin | SQT Ireland

Avoid restarting your entire skincare routine at once. If your skin remains sensitive, give it additional time and ask your practitioner for guidance.

Can You Use Retinol After SQT Bio Microneedling?

Retinol is generally something you should pause during the initial recovery period.

Because retinol can be stimulating, applying it while your skin is sensitive or peeling may increase discomfort or irritation.

The same consideration applies to strong exfoliating acids and other potentially irritating active ingredients.

Your SQT practitioner can tell you when it is appropriate to restart these products based on your treatment and skin's recovery.

Can You Wear Makeup After SQT Bio Microneedling?

Makeup may feel uncomfortable while your skin is sensitive or peeling.

Many practitioners recommend avoiding or minimising makeup immediately after treatment and waiting until the skin has settled.

If you have a wedding, party, business event or other important occasion in Dublin, discuss the timing of your treatment with your practitioner beforehand. Scheduling treatment too close to an important event may mean that your skin is still visibly recovering.

Can You Exercise After SQT Bio Microneedling?

It is generally advisable to avoid strenuous exercise during the earliest stage of recovery.
