A topical anesthetic cream is applied before the treatment, so discomfort is minimal. The most sensitive areas tend to be the forehead and upper lip.

Redness, swelling and some tightness after the treatment, may occur, but typically only lasts 24 – 48 hours, until the skin returns to normal. Your skin can feel dry for a few days after treatment and you may have slight flaking of your skin. The use of sunscreen and avoidance of direct sunlight is strongly recommended after treatment.

While Microneedling is a revolutionary skin treatment, the healing results are seen over time. The Final results won’t be noticeable, depending on the individual, for three to twelve months, as boosting collagen and elastin within the dermis takes time. The best visible results are seen with a series of at least 4 – 6 treatments, spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.

• No Retin-A products or applications 12 hours prior to your treatment
• No prolonged sun exposure to the face 24 hours prior to your treatment. Microneedling treatment will not be administered on sunburned skin.
• If an active or extreme breakout occurs before treatment, please consult your practitioner
• If you have cold sore breakouts, please use Valtrex 3 days before and after treatment.
• It is safe to get Botox and Microneedling on the same day. Botox is placed deeper and Microneedling treats superficial layers.
• Fillers can be used in conjunction with Microneedling. If you want both on the same day, Microneedle first then Botox. If you opt for filler first, I recommend Microneedling to be spaced no sooner than 2 weeks post filler treatment.

Immediately after your treatment, you will look as though you have moderate to severe sunburn and your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. Redness and some swelling can be expected. This is all normal and typically lasts 24 – 48 hours.

• CLEAN – Use a gentle cleanse and tepid water to cleanse the face for the following 72 hours and gently dry the treated skin. Always make sure that your hands are clean when touching the treated areas.
• HEAL – Silkses is recommended post-treatment as the properties are ideal to help heal the skin. The product can help soothe the skin and relieve any redness.
• HYDRATE – Following your Microneedling treatment, your skin may feel drier than normal. Hyla 3D is a Hyaluronic Acid which is an ideal ingredient to hydrate and restore the skin back to perfect balance.
• STIMULATE – In the days following your Microneedling treatment, and as the skin starts to regenerate, collagen stimulation with age intervention booster.
• MAKEUP – It is recommended that makeup should not be applied for 24 hours after the procedure. Do not apply any makeup with a makeup-brush, especially if it is not clean.
• PROTECT – After the procedure, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 15 or greater.

• For at least 3 days post-treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.
• Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds.
• Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
• No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria and may cause adverse reactions.
