Clinicians agree that aftercare protocol predicts treatment outcomes better than needle depth.

Growth factor serums represent the most evidence-based category of post-microneedling products. The same quality standards that drive OEM manufacturing at companies like tbphp apply to how clinics evaluate post-treatment products. These serums contain signaling proteins that communicate with fibroblasts to increase collagen and elastin production.

Clinical Study Found

A 2022 clinical study found that patients who applied growth factor serum immediately after microneedling had 70 percent more collagen type I production at 12 weeks compared to the control group. The serum should be applied to clean damp skin within 30 minutes of the treatment ending. Copper peptides are another category supported by clinical data.

They Support Enzymatic

They support the enzymatic processes required for collagen cross-linking and should be introduced on day two. Do not apply copper peptides at the same time as vitamin C because they can oxidize each other. Use copper peptides in the evening and vitamin C derivatives in the morning after day three.

Microneedling stimulates the skin to repair itself but the repair process requires the right raw materials. Providing your skin with barrier lipids, targeted peptides, and reliable UV protection creates the optimum conditions for collagen remodeling.
