Neobotanics skin serums were developed so that the active ingredients penetrate the skin and work even without mesotherapy.
Serums are primarily developed fortopical (surface) application to the skin. They are not declared assterile preparations intended for mesotherapy or microneedling application, where the skin barrier is disrupted and substances penetrate significantly deeper into the skin.
However, microneedling should probably be possible, but we recommend doing a patch test first.
small area of skin to check for irritation.
From a purely theoretical point of view, it would be more suitable for microneedlingaqueous serumbecause oil serums are not commonly used in this type of treatment.
However, it is necessary to take into account that some of these serums containhigher concentration of active ingredients (e.g. niacinamide, peptides or other bioactive ingredients)Microneedling could therefore lead tomore intense penetration of these substances and potential skin irritationbecause microneedling temporarily significantly increases skin permeability. For this reason, we generally recommend using our serumsafter microneedling only in the aftercare phasewhen the skin is already calmed, not directly during the treatment.
Formesotherapy / microneedling (dermaroller, dermapen)is, from a purely theoretical point of view, the most suitable type of serum with the following properties:
- water (not oil) base
- not too high concentrations of active and irritating substances
- content of moisturizing and regenerating ingredients
The most suitable serumfrom our offer is waterAnti-Wrinkle Skin Rejuvenator #1:
- water base
- contains hydrating and regenerating ingredients (e.g. hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc.)
- focused on skin regeneration and collagen production
The composition is generally closer to what is used in professional microneedling ampoules
(hydrating, reparative).
A rather less suitable serum is aqueousSkin Perfector #1:
- contains a very high concentration of niacinamide (20%) and other bioactive substances
- after disrupting the skin barrier with microneedling, it could cause significant irritation.
Not suitable for microneedling:
- Instant Beauty & Radiance #2
- Youth Booster #2
Reason: they areoil serumsThe oil phase is not usually used in microneedling because it is more difficult to penetrate the microchannels and may increase the risk of inflammation or comedones.
