Microneedling

Avoid getting chemical peels, laser, waxing, or botox 1-2 weeks prior to your appointment and stop all retinols, salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, and any exfoliating products a week prior to your appointment. Avoid any anti-inflammatory medication like advil or motrin at least 3 days before your appointment. Avoid alcohol and any blood thinning supplements 1-2 days prior.

Anything you are comfortable with! However, try and avoid heavy necklines or hoodies if possible and remove any jewelry prior to your appointment.

Prepare to receive numbing cream before your microneedling session. If you have any allergies, please let your provider know beforehand. The numbing cream will counteract any pain but you still may experience some discomfort in your session. Your skin will be red and irritated after your appointment but should go away in 1-3 days.

Use hyaluronic acid serums and hydrating moisturizers, and make sure you are applying sunscreen daily. Avoid all retinols, vitamin c, and alpha-hydroxy acids for at least 7-10 days after your appointment.

It is recommended to get microneedling done every 4-6 weeks.
