Clarifying Smoothing Tightening
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small sterile needles to cause controlled microscopic injuries to the skin. The controlled injuries stimulate your body to produce new healthy collagen at an accelerated rate, resulting in reduced lines and wrinkles, improvement in acne scarring, brightens and evens tone, and smooths texture.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is the component of blood that contains growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration. Adding PRP to your treatment will enhance the microneedling results.
Safe for all skin types.

What to expect
After your treatment
• Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.
• Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.
• Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks. After 24 hours, always use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.
•Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.
The Healing process
Day 1-3
A sunburn-like effect is normal. Your skin may feel tight, dry or sensitive to touch. Treat the skin gently by washing it with a gentle cleanser, cool water, and using only your hands to pat dry no earlier than 4 hours after treatment.
Some redness may also be present and in some cases, patients may experience slight bruising that can last for 5-7 days and temporary swelling for 2-4 days.
DAY 2-7
Peeling may start 3-5 days after the treatment. You’ll notice skin dryness and flaking which is due to an increased turnover of skin cells. DO NOT pick, scratch, or scrub at treated skin!
DAY 5-7
You may start your regular skin care products again, once your skin no longer feels irritated. Most of our patients have noticed continued skin improvement over the months following their last treatment.
TIPS
Avoid strenuous exercises that cause sweating as well as jacuzzis, saunas, and steam baths for up to 48 hours. Use only mineral makeup after 24 hours. Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to minimize swelling or pain as needed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You must allow the old skin to flake off naturally and keep it moisturized at all times. Talk to your skin specialist about which products to use.
FOR BEST RESULTS
We recommend follow-up and repeat microneedling treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-5 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.
