Understanding Skin Reactions to the ReGlow Micro-Infusion System

The ReGlow Micro-Infusion System is designed to deliver professional-grade skincare results at home by combining innovative 24k gold-plated micro-needling technology with a powerful, plant-based serum. While most users experience smoother texture, improved hydration, and reduced wrinkles, some individuals may notice temporary skin reactions. These reactions can vary, so it’s important to understand what they look like, when to be concerned, and how to achieve the best experience with the product.

Types of Reactions and What to Expect

Normal Reactions:

  • Redness: Mild redness immediately after treatment is common due to the micro-needling process. This redness typically fades within a few hours.
  • Slight Bumps or Sensitivity: Some users may notice small, bumpy textures or a warm sensation as the skin begins its natural healing process.

  • Light Sensitivity: Post-treatment, the skin might feel more sensitive to sunlight or environmental factors.

Types of Skin Reactions:

  • Extended Reactions: Prolonged redness lasting beyond 24-48 hours, visible dark spots, or burn-like patches may indicate overstimulation or improper use of the device.

  • Unexpected Reactions: Bumps that resemble an allergic response or severe irritation could suggest sensitivity to the serum or compromised skin barrier. If these occur, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist to ensure your skin’s safety.

  • Persistent Redness or Swelling: If redness lasts longer than 24-48 hours or worsens over time, it could indicate irritation or an adverse reaction.

  • Burn-Like Spots: Unusual darkened spots or burn-like patches may occur if the device is pressed too hard or dragged across the skin.

  • Pain or Severe Bumps: Painful bumps or prolonged sensitivity could indicate improper use or a possible allergic response.



    In cases of concern, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist for professional advice. Most reactions are manageable and resolve with proper care.

    Here, we explore the potential causes of skin reactions and how to ensure the best possible experience with our product.

     

    What Can Cause Skin Reactions?

    While the ReGlow system is safe and suitable for all skin types, every individual’s skin responds differently to new treatments. Below are some potential reasons for skin reactions:

    1. Incorrect Application Technique

      • The micro-needling process involves gently tapping or stamping the device onto the skin. Dragging or pressing too hard can create uneven pressure or micro-tears, leading to redness, bumps, or irritation.

      • Applying excessive pressure may overstimulate the skin, mimicking a mild burn or causing localized redness.

    2. Skin Sensitivity to Ingredients

      • Although our serum is plant-based and dermatologist-formulated, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, peptides, or other active compounds.

      • Sensitivities can result in redness, irritation, or small bumps as the skin reacts to unfamiliar actives.

    3. Natural Inflammatory Response

      • The 24k gold-plated needles create micro-channels in the skin, triggering a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates collagen production. Redness and slight sensitivity are normal and typically subside within hours.

      • This process may result in temporary redness or a mild "bumpy" texture as the skin begins its healing phase.

    4. Pre-Existing Skin Conditions

      • Individuals with pre-existing skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, or an impaired skin barrier may experience heightened sensitivity during or after treatment.

      • Using the system on compromised skin could result in more noticeable redness or irritation.

    5. Hygiene and Skin Preparation

      • Using a non-sterile needle head or applying the device to unclean skin can introduce bacteria, potentially causing localized irritation or bumps.

      • Proper sterilization and preparation are key to preventing unwanted reactions.

    What Reactions Are Normal?

    Some level of redness and sensitivity is expected after using the ReGlow Micro-Infusion System. Here’s what to anticipate:

    • Redness: A common, temporary effect of the micro-needling process that typically fades within a few hours.

    • Light Sensitivity: The skin may feel more sensitive to sunlight or environmental factors post-treatment.

    • Mild Irritation: Slight warmth or tingling is normal immediately after treatment.

    How to Ensure Proper Use

    To minimize the likelihood of skin reactions and maximize the benefits of the ReGlow system, follow these guidelines:

    1. Use the Correct Technique

      • Gently tap or stamp the device on the skin—avoid dragging or pressing too hard.

      • Ensure even coverage without overlapping too frequently on the same area.

    2. Follow Aftercare Instructions

      • Avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen to protect your skin.

      • Use hydrating and soothing products post-treatment to calm the skin.

      • Refrain from using exfoliants, retinol, or other active ingredients for 24-48 hours.

    3. Check Ingredients

      • Review the ingredient list to identify any potential allergens or triggers.

      • Our serum is plant-based and vegan, designed to be gentle on all skin types.

    4. Practice Proper Hygiene

      • Always use a sterile, disposable needle head for each session.

      • Cleanse your skin thoroughly before starting the treatment.

    What to Do If You Experience a Reaction

    If you notice unusual redness, bumps, or irritation:

    • Don’t panic. Most redness or sensitivity resolves within hours as part of the skin’s natural healing process.

    • Apply soothing products like aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer to calm the skin.

    • Avoid harsh products and give your skin time to recover.

    • Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist or worsen.
