Summer Microneedling: What to Know Before You Book

If glowing, even-toned skin is part of your summer vision, microneedling might already be on your radar.

This collagen-boosting treatment is known for smoothing texture, softening lines, and restoring a fresh-faced glow. But if you’re booking it during warmer months, there are a few things worth keeping in mind.

Here’s what to know before you plan your summer microneedling session at Carisma Aesthetics.

Microneedling Session

First—What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses fine, controlled needles to create tiny channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response—boosting collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and radiant.

It’s one of our most-loved treatments for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and uneven texture

• Sun damage and pigmentation

• Enlarged pores

The result? Healthier-looking skin that feels smoother, tighter, and visibly refreshed.

But Is Summer a Good Time?

Yes—with a little extra care.

Microneedling makes your skin more sensitive, especially to sun exposure, heat, and sweat—all common in summer. But that doesn’t mean you need to skip it. With proper timing and aftercare, microneedling can still be a beautiful choice for summer skin.

How to Get the Best Results in Summer

1. Book Early in the Season

Aim for early summer or late spring to give your skin time to heal before peak sun exposure. This helps reduce the risk of sensitivity, pigmentation, or irritation.

2. Protect Your Skin Post-Treatment

After microneedling, your skin needs protection and hydration.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• SPF every day—minimum SPF 30, reapplied often

• Avoid sun and heat for at least 48–72 hours

• Keep it cool—skip workouts, saunas, and hot showers for a few days

• Stay hydrated—inside and out, with water and hydrating serums

3. Go Lighter If Needed

Worried about recovery in hot weather? Your practitioner can adjust the depth of your treatment. A more superficial session still delivers glow and texture improvements—ideal for a lighter summer refresh.

4. Prep with Gentle Exfoliation

In the week before your session, use a soft enzyme exfoliator to remove dead skin and help your treatment work better. But skip any harsh scrubs after microneedling—your skin will need a break.

Why It’s Still a Summer Favourite

Done right, microneedling can be your summer skin hero:

• Softens fine lines and smooths texture for makeup-free confidence

• Fades pigmentation and acne scars from past seasons

• Leaves skin plump, fresh, and naturally radiant—no heavy creams required

You’ll notice a glow just days after your session, with deeper results unfolding over the next few weeks.
