Your Microneedling Treatment Plan
Schedule your microneedling appointment at least one week before an event. Redness, swelling and peeling may be apparent in that time period.
Let your provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
You may not have an active rash or infection in the area being treated.
You’ll need to avoid Accutane for six months prior to treatment.
You’ll need to avoid waxing for one week before microneedling treatment.
To reduce sensitivity, discontinue topical retinoids 24 hours before treatment.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we require clearance from your OB-GYN.
To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS and fish oil three days before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.

(This part sounds worse than it feels, we promise!) Fine needles puncture the skin, creating channels to stimulate new skin cells.
We provide a Skin Pharm post-procedure kit for you to use 1-3 days after your microneedling treatment while healing.
