• Your scars or stretch marks should be fully healed before microneedeling treatment. Wait at least 6–12 months after injury or surgery before beginning treatment.
• Active acne, rosacea, or eczema in the treatment area must be resolved before your appointment.
• If you have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring, consult with your technician and a dermatologist before proceeding.
• Begin using a gentle, hydrating skincare routine at least 2 weeks before your appointment to prepare your skin.
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Do not treat sunburned or tanned skin.
• Do not apply self-tanners or bronzing products for at least 1 week prior.
• Discontinue use of retinoids (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Retinol) for 5–7 days before treatment.

• Avoid blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, fish oil, and NSAIDs for 48–72 hours before the procedure unless prescribed by your physician.
• Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding.

• Do not take antibiotics for 2–3 days before the procedure unless prescribed by your doctor.
• Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tight-fitting items that may rub against the treatment area.
• Plan for some downtime – your skin will be red and sensitive after the procedure for up to two days
Your skin will appear red and flushed, similar to a moderate sunburn.
• The treated area may feel tight, warm, or slightly tender.
• Minor pinpoint bleeding or lymph may be visible – this is normal and expected.
• Mild swelling may occur, especially around delicate areas such as under the eyes or on the neck.
DAYS 1–2:
• Redness will be most intense during this period and will gradually subside.
• Swelling may increase slightly on Day 1 and should begin to decrease by Day 2.
• Your skin may feel dry, tight, or sensitive.
• You may notice slight flaking or texture changes as the skin begins to heal.
• Moisturize your skin with vitamin ointment regularly when you feel discomfort.
DAYS 3–5:
• Redness will fade to a pink or rosy tone.
• Peeling or flaking may occur as your skin regenerates – this is a normal part of the healing process.
• The treated area may feel slightly rough or textured.
• Do not pick or peel any flaking skin.
DAYS 6–14:
• Most visible redness and flaking will subside.
• Your skin will continue to regenerate and produce new collagen beneath the surface.
• The treated area should return to near-normal appearance by the end of Week 2.
WEEKS 2–12:
• Collagen production and skin remodeling continue during this phase – this is when you’ll see the real benefits.
• Scars and stretch marks will gradually soften, flatten, and improve in texture and color.
• Multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart may sometimes be needed for optimal results.
• Full results from a series of treatments become visible 3–6 months after your final session.
