Microneedling Pre and Post Care

Pre Treatment

• If you have a history of cold sores, or prior use of Accutane please DO let the nurse or physician know.

Post Treatment

• DO wait until the next morning to apply makeup in treated areas.
• DO expect: potential bruising, redness, swelling or mild bumpiness lasting hours to up to a week, which can be covered with tinted sunscreen (ask us what we love!).
• DO wash twice a day with the gentle cleanser provided in the post procedure pack.
• DO liberally apply post treatment healing BIAFINE as a bland moisturizer recommended at least twice a day.
• DO NOT vigorously rub the skin and DO NOT pick or use exfoliants, home masks, or a Clarisonic brush as this may cause scarring.
• Sun protection is critical. You should NOT have sun exposure; wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30. This includes driving to work. Obviously, do not use a tanning salon.
• AVOID other laser treatments, peels, waxing, the use of depilatories, or micro-dermabrasion for 3 weeks.
• DO wait 7 days before resuming the use of exfoliating agents, scrubs, or brushes.
• DO NOT wait 7 days to restart your regular skincare regimen including retinoid.
• If you were instructed to take an antiviral medication, prednisone, or antibiotics, DO complete the prescribed course.
