Microneedling Pre-Treatment Instructions

Following these pre-treatment guidelines will help ensure your microneedling session goes smoothly and minimizes potential side effects.

Pre-Treatment Tips

• Avoid Accutane: If you've taken Accutane, please refrain from any microneedling sessions for at least 12 months.

• Limit Skin Sensitivity: For 5-7 days before your treatment, avoid topical agents that can increase sensitivity, such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics, and acids.

• Skip Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Do not take anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil) for at least three days before your session, as they can interfere with the natural inflammatory response crucial for skin rejuvenation.

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from using blood-thinning agents (like aspirin) for one week prior, as bruising can be a common side effect of microneedling.

• No IPL or Laser Treatments: Avoid any IPL or laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.

• Hair Removal Precautions: Refrain from waxing, using depilatory creams, or electrolysis on the treatment area for 5-7 days before your session. If you have dense hair in the area, shave the day before to minimize irritation; avoid shaving on the day of your treatment.

• Cold Sore Precautions: If you are prone to cold sores, take an antiviral medication for 2-3 days before and the day of your treatment.

Day of Treatment

Understanding what to expect on the day of your microneedling treatment will help you feel more comfortable and relaxed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

• Your skin will be cleansed to remove any lotions, oils, makeup, or sunscreen.

• Please inform your skincare specialist about any relevant changes in your medical history and any medications you are currently taking.

• Your specialist will ask about any cosmetic tattoos in the treatment area. We cannot treat a tattooed area.

• IF NECESSARY, 30-45 minutes before the treatment, a topical lidocaine may be applied to minimize discomfort.

• The microneedling procedure typically takes up to 60 minutes to complete.

Microneedling Post-Treatment Instructions

After your microneedling session, following these post-care instructions will promote healing and ensure you achieve the best results.

Post-Treatment Tips

• Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Do not take anti-inflammatory medications for 1 week following the procedure.

• Skip Ice and Arnica: Avoid using ice on your face and refrain from arnica or bromelain, as these may interfere with the natural healing process vital for skin rejuvenation.

• Sun Protection is Critical: Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for at least 2 weeks. After 24 hours, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and consider wearing a hat when outdoors.

• Manage Discomfort: If you experience soreness, you may take a pain reliever like Tylenol.

Microneedling is a quick, non-invasive cosmetic procedure with minimal side effects. Here’s what you may experience:

Days 1-3

• Expect a sunburn-like sensation. Your skin may feel tight, dry, or sensitive to touch. Treat your skin gently by washing it with a mild cleanser and cool water. Pat dry with your hands no earlier than 12 hours post-treatment.

• Redness and slight bruising may occur, lasting 5-7 days, along with temporary swelling for 2-4 days.

Tips

• Avoid strenuous exercise, jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for up to 72 hours.

• Use only mineral makeup after 24 hours.

• Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to reduce swelling or discomfort.

Days 2-7

• Flaking or mild peeling may begin 3-5 days after treatment, accompanied by dryness due to increased skin cell turnover. Do not pick, scratch, or scrub the treated area!

• It’s essential to allow old skin to flake off naturally while keeping the area moisturized. Consult your skincare specialist for recommended products.

Days 5-7

• Once your skin feels less irritated, you can resume your regular skincare products. Most clients notice ongoing improvement in their skin in the months following their last treatment.

For Best Results: We recommend follow-up microneedling treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-5 sessions based on your personalized care plan.

• Take It Easy: Give your body time to recover by avoiding strenuous physical activity for the rest of the day. Allow your muscles to fully absorb the benefits of the massage.

• Stretch Gently: Engage in light stretching to help maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness in your muscles.

• Apply Heat or Cold if Needed: If your massage included deep tissue work, you may feel some soreness. Apply a warm compress or heating pad to soothe the muscles, or use a cold compress to reduce any swelling or discomfort.

• Avoid Alcohol: Skip alcoholic beverages for 24 hours post-massage to allow your body to detoxify and recover effectively.

• Rest: Take time to relax and enjoy the sense of calm from your massage. A short nap or quiet time at home can help extend the benefits.

• Listen to Your Body: If you experience unusual discomfort or have any concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your massage therapist for advice.

Makeup Application Pre-Care Instructions

To ensure your makeup application looks flawless and lasts throughout the day, please follow these pre-care guidelines:

Pre-Treatment Tips

• Hydrate Your Skin: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment and apply a moisturizer suited to your skin type to keep your skin hydrated.

• Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your skin 1-2 days before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for makeup application.

• Facial Treatments: If you’re planning to have any facial treatments, such as a facial or chemical peel, schedule them at least 5-7 days before your makeup appointment to allow your skin to settle.

• Communicate Skin Concerns: Inform your makeup artist about any skin conditions, allergies, or sensitivities so they can choose the best products for you.

• Wear Loose Clothing: Dress in comfortable, loose clothing to avoid smudging or staining your makeup during the application process.

Makeup Application Post-Care Instructions

After your makeup application, following proper aftercare will help maintain your look and care for your skin. Please adhere to these guidelines:

Post-Treatment Tips

• Avoid Touching Your Face: Refrain from touching your face throughout the day to prevent smudging or transferring oils to your makeup.

• Limit Exposure to Heat and Moisture: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and heavy sweating for at least a few hours post-application to maintain your look.

• Remove Makeup Gently: At the end of the day, remove your makeup gently with a cleansing oil or micellar water to avoid irritating your skin.

• Cleanse and Moisturize: After removing your makeup, cleanse your face thoroughly and apply a nourishing moisturizer to keep your skin healthy.

• Follow-Up Skincare: Consider scheduling a facial or skin treatment a few days after your makeup application to address any skin concerns that may arise.
