Your Post-Treatment Microneedling Guide

Protect Your Investment & Unlock Long-Lasting Radiant Results

You’ve taken an exciting step toward achieving your ultimate skin goals!

Following proper post-care is essential to protecting your investment, easing temporary sensitivity, and ensuring your skin heals smoothly and comfortably. Below, you’ll find your customized step-by-step guidelines and recommended medical-grade home care to help you maximize your results and keep your skin glowing.

What to Expect

Redness, Burning & Sensitivity: You may experience redness, swelling, burning, and skin sensitivity at the treated area immediately following your session (similar to a mild sunburn).

Rapid Swelling Resolution: Swelling may occur but generally resolves within 24 hours.

Skin Sloughing & Flaking: Mild to moderate sloughing or flaking of the skin at the treated area may occur over the first few days as fresh skin cells renew.

Extended Redness (Uncommon): Though uncommon, significant redness may occur at the treated area for up to 3–7 days following facial treatment, and may last longer for body treatments.

What to Do

Avoid Sun Exposure & Wear SPF: Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours following your treatment. It is imperative you use a mineral-based sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater and wear protective clothing when sun exposure is unavoidable.

Pause Exfoliants & Scrubs: Do not use skin exfoliants, retinoids, or active scrubs for 3–5 days after treatment.

Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid heat exposure such as hot tubs, saunas, steam, or excessive exercise for at least 24 hours following treatment.

Sanitize Phone & Use Clean Pillowcases: Please clean with alcohol anything that may come into contact with your face such as your phone or glasses. Use a clean pillowcase. Keeping the treated area as clean as possible will help lessen the chance of breakouts.

Keep Skin Clean & Free of Makeup: You should keep your skin free of any makeup or additional products not given to you at the time of your treatment for at least 12 hours.

6-Hour PRP Leave-On Rule: For PRP treatments, you must keep the PRP solution on your skin for 6 hours following treatment. At that point, you may gently wash your skin and apply your recommended post-care products.
