Microneedling in the Summer?

Microneedling in the Summer?

Yes, and Here’s Why Your Skin Will Thank You

There’s a shift underway in how we approach seasonal skincare, especially throughout the changing climates in the Niagara Region. For years, treatments like microneedling were labelled as “off-limits” in summer—but that mindset is outdated. With the right post-care and a solid SPF habit, microneedling might be one of the smartest skin investments you can make in the sunny months.

Heat. Humidity. Sunscreen buildup. Sweat. All of it can wreak havoc on your complexion—clogging pores, triggering breakouts, and highlighting every uneven patch or scar. So while you’re wearing less makeup and soaking up the sunshine, you might start noticing the things you’d rather not—rough texture, post-acne marks, fine lines creeping in around the eyes. That’s where microneedling comes in.

Microneedling at Aegis MD in St.Catharines is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create precise micro-channels in the skin. This triggers a surge of collagen and elastin production, helping your skin to naturally remodel itself from the inside out.

Why It Works in Warm Weather

Contrary to popular belief, microneedling doesn’t require hibernating indoors. It simply involves respecting the healing process, which comes down to being sun-smart. If you already wear sunscreen daily, use a mineral SPF, and avoid peak UV hours, you’re a perfect candidate for summer microneedling.

Does Microneedling involve downtime?

Your skin will be slightly pink and tight for approximately one to two days. Following up with a few simple rules will ensure proper healing and glowing results:
  • Sunscreen
  • Skip makeup for the first 24 hours
  • Hydrate like it’s your full-time job
  • Avoid saunas, intense workouts, and direct midday sun for a couple of days
