SkinPen Microneedling

Post-treatment the skin will be reddened, possibly a little “puffy” and you may be aware of a little tenderness.

You will also experience skin tightness and the skin may also “flake” in the first few days. Do not pick any flaking skin which should be left to peel naturally.

• Do use the remaining HG lift that your practitioner has given you and the day after the treatment use the rescue product to calm and soothe
• Do keep out of the sun on the day of treatments and for the following 24 hours
• Do use sunscreen factor 50 and keep out of direct sunlight to maximise long term results
• Do use a clean pillowcase and towel
• Don’t touch the skin unnecessarily immediately post-treatment. This will be important to avoid any post-treatment infection
• Don’t apply make up for 24 hours post-treatment
• Don’t use harsh perfumed, astringent, AHA or alcohol-containing products in the area for 24-48 hours post-treatment
• Don’t go swimming or in chlorinated water for 4-5 days post-treatment
• Don’t engage in any heavy exercise for 24-48 hours after treatment
• Don’t have any other clinical treatments for 1- 4 weeks post-treatment.
• Speak to your practitioner for exact advice on how best to combine other treatments you may be having or want to start having
• Don’t shave or use any after-shave type products over the area that has been treated for 12-24 hours post-treatment
• Don’t allow pets to lick the area that has been treated – this is likely to lead to a major infection
