Skin needling with the Derma 4 typically involves minimal downtime, especially compared to more invasive procedures. However, there are a few temporary effects you can expect:
Redness and mild swelling (similar to a sunburn) for 24–48 hours
Slight sensitivity or tightness in the treated area
Peeling or flaking may occur a few days after treatment as the skin renews itself
Most people can resume normal activities within 24 hours, though it’s recommended to avoid heavy exercise, sun exposure, and makeup for the first day or two to allow the skin to heal properly. Using a soothing serum and high-SPF sunscreen is crucial during recovery.
So while there’s not much downtime, there is a short window of aftercare where your skin needs some extra attention.
