Microneedling

Close

Micro Needling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure in which tiny sterilized needles are inserted into the skin, creating micro-wounds, prompting your body’s elastin and collagen production to heal those wounds and resurface the skin. Microneedling helps combat acne, fine line, wrinkles, sun spots, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

POST-CARE

  • Your Technician will provide you with a mask to apply immediately at home.

  • CLEAN – Use a gentle cleanse and tepid water to cleanse the face for the following 72 hours and gently dry the treated skin. Always make sure that your hands are clean when touching the treated area.

  • HEAL – Serum antioxidants are recommended post-treatment as the properties are ideal to help heal the skin. These products can help soothe the skin and lessen irritation.

  • HYDRATE – Following your Micro-Needling treatment, your skin may feel drier than normal. Hyaluronic Acid is an ideal ingredient to hydrate and restore the skin back to perfect balance.

  • STIMULATE – In the days following your treatment, and as the skin starts to regenerate, collagen stimulating peptides are ideal to continue the stimulation.

  • MAKEUP – It is recommended that makeup should not be applied for 24 hours after the procedure. Do not apply any makeup with a makeup brush, especially if it is not clean.

  • PROTECT – Immediately after the procedure, apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF 25 or greater. A chemical-free sunscreen is highly recommended.

  • For at least 3 days post treatment, do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare.

  • Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours. No tanning beds or prolonged sun exposure for 2 weeks.

  • Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

  • No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments are harmful, rife with bacteria, and may cause adverse reactions.
