POST-TREATMENT CARE:

After microneedling your skin will be red and you may see dried blood. The redness is similar to if you had a moderate sunburn. Redness should begin to resolve within 24-48 hours.
You may experience swelling, burning, itching, bruising, soreness, skin tightness, flakiness, sensitivity and dryness. It may take up to 5-7 days for the skin to heal depending on the extensiveness of your treatment.
Make sure to wash your face with only cool water and a mild cleanser (for sensitive skin) and pat skin dry.
Mineral based sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be applied and reapplied every 60-90 minutes while outdoors.
Use gentle skincare products. Use ONLY your post-treatment products for the first four days after your treatment. No vitamin A products for 7 days post treatment (Retin A, Retinol, Tretitnoin). No exfoliating medications, toners, harsh chemical products or devices for at least 7 days post treatment. No chemical peels for 14 days post treatment.
Treatment of Pain/Discomfort. Ice packs and Tylenol can be used if you are feeling discomfort or swelling. Do not use anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin or Ibuprofen as they may decrease the desired inflammatory benefits of micro-needling.
Bruising and Swelling. Eat fresh pineapples or drink pineapple juice to minimize bruising and swelling. Arnica supplements can be taken to help with any bruising.
No sun exposure. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 14 days, ideally 30 days after the procedure. This also includes avoiding tanning beds or self-tanning products.
Do not pick at skin. No picking at any flaking skin or scabs and avoid using any exfoliating skincare products.
Shaving. Do not shave for 3 days after procedure and longer if the skin is still irritated.
Exercise and Heat. No sweating, exercising, jacuzzi, sauna or steam bath until skin irritation has resolved (3-7 days).
