Microneedling

Pre-Procedure:

It is best to avoid all retinoid products for 3-4 days before the procedure.
Coming to your appointment with a clean face is preferred but you can wash your makeup off in our office if needed!

You will be numbed with a topical numbing agent for 30 minutes prior to procedure to ensure you will be comfortable the entire time.
Procedure then takes 20-30 mins.
You can expect to be very red right after the procedure, it may feel like a sunburn that evening.
You will be pink/red the following day.
Day 3, your face will be mostly back to normal.

Do nothing to your face the day of the procedure.
- Unless you received an add-on procedure, then your provider will give you further instructions, if needed.
Wash your face the next morning with the provided gentle cleanser and follow with the hydrating creme. Continue these gentle products through day 2 and into day 3.
It is best to avoid makeup the day after but is okay to be applied after 24 hours, if necessary.
Avoid sun exposure & always wear sunscreen - Don't waste your money!
You may experience dryness & flakiness for up to a week after & is completely normal.
Mild acne purging is also normal. Contact your provider if it becomes concerning. Do not pick!
Wait a minimum of 30 days before doing your next microneedling.
You may resume normal skin care routine after 3-4 days as long as your skin is looking & feeling back to normal.
