MICRONEEDLING
ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT
Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
It improves:
- • Acne scars
- • Fine lines
- • Skin texture
- • Pigmentation
- • Pore size
Optimal results require a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- • No retinol, exfoliants, benzoyl peroxide for 3 days
- • No waxing, laser, or chemical peel 5–7 days prior
- • Avoid excessive sun exposure
- • Arrive with clean skin
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT
- • Redness similar to sunburn
- • Mild swelling
- • Sensitivity
- • Tightness
Redness typically resolves within 24–72 hours. Skin may feel dry or flaky for several days.
AFTERCARE
First 24 Hours:
- • No makeup
- • No sweating
- • Avoid touching face
First 72 Hours:
- • Gentle cleanser only
- • Hyaluronic acid allowed
- • Avoid retinol and active ingredients
- • SPF 30+ daily
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications unless medically necessary.
Resume normal skincare after 3–5 days (except retinol — wait 2 weeks).
RESULTS
Skin becomes smoother and more radiant over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.
For optimal results, a series of 3–5 treatments is recommended.
