Your skin has been stimulated and renewed. Following these guidelines will protect your results and support optimal healing and results.

First 24 Hours

Keep skin clean and avoid touching unnecessarily
Avoid make-up (24-48 hours if possible)
Avoid excessive heat and sweating (e.g.saunas, steam rooms, intense workouts)
Avoid chlorine (swimming pools, hot tubs etc)
Let your skin breathe and recover
Mild redness, warmth, tightness or slight itchiness is normal. This is simply fresh skin adjusting to the environment.
Put on a fresh pillow case, and change for fresh towels. Avoid wearing scarves or perfume in the neck area.
Avoid actives in your skincare to allow for healing (e.g. AHAs, BHAs, Retinols/Vitamin A and C)

From 24 Hours Onwards

Cleanse gently with cool or lukewarm water
Apply a plain hyaluronic acid serum or light moisturiser
Apply SPF 30+ daily (essential for the first 7 days)
Reapply SPF regularly if exposed to daylight; but avoid UV exposure where possible.

For 7–14 Days

Avoid direct sun exposure where possible
No scrubs, exfoliants or aggressive cleansing brushes
Continue to avoid retinol, AHA/BHA acids or active resurfacing products
Avoid facial waxing or any other treatments.
Do not pick, scratch or rub the skin.

Skin Hygiene Tips

Change your pillowcase the night of treatment
Clean phones and glasses /sunglasses regularly
Avoid prolonged contact between skin and hands
Do not pick, or touch the skin.

MICRONEEDLING ADDITIONAL ADVICE:

Microneedling creates temporary micro-channels in the skin, so extra care is important.

What to Expect

It is normal to experience:

Redness (similar to mild sunburn) for 24–72 hours
Mild swelling or tightness
Warmth or sensitivity
Dryness or light flaking
Temporary pinpoint marks

These effects are expected and typically resolve within a few days.

If you experience excessive swelling, severe pain, blistering, prolonged redness (beyond 5 days), or signs of infection, you must contact the clinic or seek medical advice.

Important:

Microneedling creates temporary micro-channels in the skin, so extra care is important, as these are sight for possible infections.
Avoid make-up for at least 24–48 hours, the longer the better
Avoid alcohol-based toners for 10–14 days
Do not have further facial treatments for 4 weeks
Redness, swelling or sensitivity may last 2–3 days
Even if changes aren’t immediately dramatic, collagen stimulation continues beneath the surface. Improvements in firmness, tone and texture develop progressively over the following weeks.If you have any concerns during your healing process, please contact me for guidance. Your results and skin health are always my priority.
