​Micro-needling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until your desired results are achieved. (Typically recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

 

Clients treating deeper wrinkles, stretch marks, or acne scars, 6-8 treatments are recommended at 6-8 week intervals.)

 

After completing your initial treatment series, we recommend repeating series annually to maintain results and continue skin’s improvement.

Before & After Microneedling

Prepare For Your Treatment

Preparing the skin for microneedling treatment will ensure optimum results. Healthy skin will respond better and results will last longer.

​

  • 2 days before your scheduled appointment discontinue Retinol or Retin-A.

  • To reduce discomfort during the procedure you can take an Ibuprofen (600-800mg) or Tylenol (1-2 tablets) 1 hour prior to treatment.

  • The treatment can increase the risk for acne and/or herpes cold sore outbreaks. If you have a history of cold sores or acne, please discuss appropriate post treatment and prevention with your physician.

  • No autoimmune therapies or products 12 hours prior to treatment.

  • No prolonged sun exposure or recent sunburn at least 72 hours prior to treatment.

  • Skin should be clean and makeup free.

 

Prior to treatment the skin is cleansed and a numbing topical is applied to the area for approximately 30 minutes. Depending on the treatment area, the actual procedure takes approximately 15-30 minutes.

After Care Instructions

Healing time varies based on treatment depth, client’s skin, lifestyle and after care compliance following the procedure.

​

  • Use tepid water and a gentle cleanser to cleanse the area a few hours after treatment, removing excess serum and other debris such as dried blood. Use a gentle cleanser to wash the treated area twice daily.

  • Apply a moisturizer 2-3 times per day. Adequately moisturized skin throughout the healing process provides optimal results.

  • If your skin is extra sensitive after the treatment you can apply hydrocortisone cream, aloe, and take Advil for discomfort.

  • AVOID vigorous exercise for 1-2 days. Excessive sweating may cause skin to flake and peel prematurely which increases the potential for hyperpigmentation and acne breakouts.  

  • AVOID direct sunlight for the first 7 days. Direct or excessive sun exposure following treatment will cause adverse effects and can result in skin hyperpigmentation (sun spots).

  • AVOID make-up for the first 12 hours following treatment.

  • AVOID corrective or exfoliating products such as a facial brush or sponge, alpha Hydroxy Acids, Glycolic Acids, Retinol/Retin-A, and Tretinoin for 5 days following your treatment.  

  • Avoid astringent or alcohol based toners for 10-14 days

  • Do not go swimming for at least 24-48 hours post treatment.
