MICRONEEDLING

• Redness:

After your treatment, it's normal to experience redness for up to 3 days, with many clients seeing it subsides within 24 hours. Don't panic if you're super red; this is a positive sign. Avoid anti-inflammatories, as they can interfere with the natural inflammatory process crucial for skin rejuvenation.

• Dryness/Tightness:

Dryness, tightness, and mild flaking post-treatment are common. Individual reactions to Microneedling vary, and the active ingredients used can initially make the skin dry. Combat dryness with antihistamines for itchiness. Refrain from using acids, retinols, or harsh ingredients for the next 3 days. If redness persists after 3 days, continue avoiding these ingredients until your skin calms. Expect temporary redness and sensitivity to heat over the next couple of days. Spotting may occur, known as purging, where increased cell turnover reveals clearer skin.

After microneedling, anticipate skin changes before the final results. Follow these instructions for optimal results:

• Avoid washing your face or applying skincare products for 12 hours
• Refrain from retinols, acids, or exfoliants for 3-5 days post-treatment
• No makeup for 24 hours; use clean and sanitized brushes after
• Avoid exercise/sweating for 24 hours, and steer clear of swimming, saunas, and spas for 3-5 days
• Sleep on a clean silk/satin pillowcase
• Don't peel or pick at flaking skin; let it naturally shed to prevent hyperpigmentation
• Avoid direct sun exposure, especially tanning beds
• Keep skin hydrated with protective moisturizer, applying twice daily or more if needed
• Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water
• No other treatments for 14 days post-treatment

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
After Microneedling, take post-treatment steps seriously to ensure proper healing. As Microneedling creates tiny unseen wounds, maintain skin cleanliness to prevent infection over the next 24-48 hours. Distinguish between purging and a developing infection; contact your GP if abnormal, puss-filled spots appear, weep, and spread for antibiotic intervention.
