• To protect and support your skin's healing, provide extra care for at least 3-4 days post-treatment.
• Avoid touching the treated area for 4-6 hours to prevent infection and irritation. Wash your hands before any contact with the area.
• Change pillowcases the night of the treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
• Wipe glasses and sunglasses with an antiseptic cleanser or wipe before wearing them within the first 4-6 hours after treatment.
• Avoid direct sun exposure (tanning beds, sunbathing, etc.) for at least 2 days (48 hours). Continue wearing SPF daily for at least two weeks to protect and maintain results.
• Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours to prevent clogged pores and irritation.
• Refrain from exercise, sweating, swimming, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive heat exposure for 5 days to prevent inflammation and irritation.
• Do not pick, squeeze, or agitate the skin while it is healing.
• Avoid using skincare products containing mechanical exfoliants (scrubs), alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) (e.g., glycolic, lactic, malic acid), beta hydroxy acid (BHA) (e.g., salicylic acid), benzoyl peroxide, retinoids (e.g., tretinoin, adapalene, retinol), hydroquinone or other bleaching agents, and alcohol-based products (e.g., isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol) for up to 5 days post treatment

• Redness lasting 6-12 hours and a mild sunburn sensation that may persist for 36-48 hours.
• Minimal pinpoint bleeding in treated areas is common and should subside within a few hours.
• Itching, hives, flaking, or redness may occur as part of the healing process. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days.

• Breakouts may occur as the skin purges impurities during healing.
• Dry patches, flaking skin, and tightness may develop, typically resolving within 5-7 days.
• Avoid further aesthetic treatments (e.g., microdermabrasion, laser, chemical peels, injectables) for at least 2 weeks, unless directed otherwise by your provider.

• Microneedling stimulates a wound-healing response, meaning it can take up to four weeks to see visible improvements.
• Optimal results typically require 4-6 consistent treatments, depending on individual skin concerns and treatment goals.
• Each patient heals differently, so following the recommended treatment plan is key.

• Follow a simple skincare routine for the first 5-7 days, including a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
• Wash your face twice daily to keep your skin clean and free from impurities.
• Ensure SPF is applied daily to maintain results and protect newly treated skin.
• Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol or processed foods to support skin recovery.

While microneedling is a safe and effective treatment, you should contact the clinic immediately if you experience:

• Severe pain or extreme swelling that worsens after 48 hours, especially if accompanied by warmth, redness, or a feeling of tightness beyond the expected healing process.
• Signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling (especially around the face or lips), difficulty breathing, or hives.
