How do I adapt my skin care to Microneedling?
Hi, I (23M) have been using minoxidil for about 3 years now, to pretty disappointing results. I definitely need to add in microneedling.
I plan on needling 0.5mm once per week in the evening. However, I have an extensive skin care routine that keeps my acne at bay. With the sensitivity microneedling causes, I need help to figure out which steps to skip after needling and for how long.
AM: Cerave Hydrating cleanser Salicylic acid (nose only) Minoxidil foam Cerave daily moisturizer Trentinoin 0.05%
PM: Cerave Hydrating cleanser Minoxidil foam Cerave daily moisturizer clindamycin + benzoyl peroxide gel
Please let me know if I should opt for a different needling depth or frequency too.
