THINGS TO
KNOW
PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS -Arrive with fully cleansed skin. -Avoid Retin-A, Retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, hydroquinone and benzyl peroxide 3 days prior to treatment. -Topical numbing cream will be applied prior to treatment. Notify us of any medication allergies. -Microneedling CANNOT be done while pregnant or nursing. -No sun exposure, tanning beds, self-tanning products 3-5 days prior to treatment. Procedure will be canceled if you are sunburned. -No chemical peels, waxing or chemical depilatories two weeks prior to treatment. -Do not shave the treated area the day of treatment. -Bring a hat the day of the procedure to avoid sun exposure.
POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS -Immediately after your Microneedling procedure, do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical and responsible for your skin rejuvenation. Follow these simple steps: -Day of procedure: No lotions, makeup or other topical products on your face before your procedure. After your procedure your medical provider may apply a lipopeptide booster, skin moisturizer, or sunscreen. You may clean your face with a gentle cleanser before bed. -Day 1: On the next day, you may clean your face as usual and apply makeup, lotions and other topical products as usual. Stay away from exfoliants or glycolic acids that are present in cleaners as these can make your skin very dry after the procedure. Be sure to use an approved SPF30 or greater sunscreen! -Days 2-7: Within two (2) days following your Microneedling procedure, you will notice skin dryness and flaking. This is due to an increased turnover of skin cells. During this period, you may apply your regular skin moisturizer. Follow the instructions given to you by your medical professional. If your medical professional treated around the eyes, you may have a little micro bruising that may exist for three or four days. This can easily be covered with makeup. Days later, your skin will start shedding. These are skin layers that would regularly shed a week later, but the Microneedling brings this skin to the surface sooner. During this temporary process, your skin will shed and be dry. -Days 7+: A week after the Microneedling procedure, most patients notice that their skin is smoother and more radiant.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -Does it hurt? Your nurse will use numbing cream to ensure you are not in any pain! -How long does it take? The treatment takes about an hour -What’s the downtime? Avoid scheduling at least 2 weeks before any major events. Prepare for swelling, redness and peeling for 3-7 days.
