Microneedling Safety Guidelines & Care Instructions
Table of Contents
Introduction
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective aesthetic treatment for several different dermatological conditions including acne and other scars. Given its expedient post-treatment recovery, limited side effect profile, and significant clinical results, microneedling is a valuable alternative to more invasive procedures such as laser skin resurfacing and deep chemical peeling.
About 4 to 6 Microneedling sessions with a gap of 4 to 8 weeks per session are required for the most effective results, including acne scars, pigmentation and wrinkles.
Safety Guidelines for Microneedling
- For safety and hygiene reasons, the needle cartridge can only be used once and then disposed after usage.
- Customers may experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure. Active skincare regime is recommended after Day 3.
- Microneedling is not safe for customers who use certain acne medications or for women who are pregnant.
- Microneedling may also not be safe for customers who have certain skin diseases such as psoriasis or eczema, as well as any open wounds.
- The treated skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so sunblock is a must.
- It is recommended to stop using topical retinoids before treatment (at least for a day).
- If the customer chooses to use the numbing cream, care must be taken to thoroughly clear away the numbing cream before treatment. This is because the numbing cream is a poison and can cause very serious side-effects if it enters the bloodstream (via the microneedling process).
