Microneedling Pre + Post-Care Guide

SkinPen Microneedling Pre + Post-Care Guide

Microneedling is a powerful treatment that rejuvenates your skin by stimulating collagen production. Following these pre- and post-care guidelines will ensure you get the best results while minimizing risks.

 

Pre-Care Instructions

• Avoid Exfoliation: Discontinue use of exfoliating products, including acids, retinoids, and scrubs, at least 5-7 days before your appointment to prevent skin sensitivity.
• Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least one week before treatment to ensure your skin is not compromised.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and use hydrating skincare products to prep your skin.
• Skip Aggressive Treatments: Avoid chemical peels, waxing, laser treatments, or any other intensive skin procedures for at least two weeks prior to your session.
• Communicate with Your Alchemist: Inform us if you’ve recently had Botox, fillers, or other medical treatments, as this may affect your session.
• Arrive with Clean Skin: Ensure your skin is free of makeup, sunscreen, and lotions on the day of your treatment.

 

Post-Procedure Care

SkinPen Microneedling:

• Apply Skinfuse® Lift HG as needed on the day of your treatment to maintain hydration.
• Reapply as necessary for up to 24 hours. Note: This is the only product that can be used within the first 24 hours!
• Begin using Rescue Gel after 24 hours to support healing and soothe the skin.

Biocellulose Masque Application:

• A biocellulose mask may be applied immediately post-treatment to provide intense hydration, soothe the skin, and promote healing.
• The mask helps reduce redness and supports the skin’s recovery process. Use one daily for the first 3-5 days post-procedure for best results.

SkinPen Microneedling + PRP:

• Leave the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) on your skin for as long as possible on the first day/night to maximize absorption and results.

Important Reminders

• Microchannels created during your treatment may remain open for up to 24 hours.
• Avoid using any products other than the recommended ones to prevent irritation or unexpected complications.
