What is a common expectation for a client on day 3 post skin needling?

On day 3 post skin needling, clients often experience dry, peeling, or flaky skin. This phenomenon occurs as part of the skin's natural healing process. After the treatment, the micro-injuries created by the needling trigger the body's healing response, which includes the regeneration of skin cells. As these new skin cells rise to the surface, the older, damaged cells may flake off, leading to a dry and peeling appearance.

It's essential for clients to be aware that this is a beneficial part of the healing process and indicates that the skin is renewing itself. Proper aftercare, such as hydration and gentle skincare, can help manage these effects. Therefore, dry, peeling skin is not only a common occurrence but also a sign that the treatment is progressing as intended.
