Microneedling is a highly effective treatment for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and promoting collagen production. At [Your Clinic Name], we take every step to ensure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and delivers the best possible results. Please review our preparation and aftercare guidelines before your session.

Before Your Microneedling Treatment

For a safe and effective experience, follow these preparation tips:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including fake tan) for at least 5–7 days prior to your appointment.
• Discontinue use of active skincare products, such as retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliants, for 3–5 days before treatment.
• Do not undergo waxing, laser treatments, or chemical peels on the area for at least 2 weeks prior.
• Stay hydrated to help your skin heal and respond well to the treatment.
• Let us know if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of cold sores, or are on blood-thinning medications.
• Arrive with clean skin – no makeup, moisturisers, or SPF on the treatment area.

After Your Microneedling Treatment

Post-treatment care is crucial to ensure proper healing and maximize your results:

• Expect redness and sensitivity for 24–72 hours – this is normal and similar to a mild sunburn.
• Avoid makeup, sweating, and sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours.
• Do not touch or pick at your skin – let it heal naturally.
• Use only gentle, hydrating skincare products, as advised by your practitioner.
• Avoid active ingredients (e.g., retinol, vitamin C, acids) for 5–7 days post-treatment.
• Apply SPF 30+ daily, even indoors, as your skin will be more photosensitive.
• No swimming, saunas, or hot showers for at least 48 hours post-treatment.

Microneedling results improve over time as collagen production increases. For best outcomes, a course of treatments may be recommended. If you experience any unusual discomfort or have concerns, please contact us immediately.
