•Avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for 24 hours due to open pores
•Redness or sensitivity might be present (and last up to a few days) after treatment
•Use Tylenol only as needed for mild tenderness, you may experience discomfort, redness, mild swelling or itching after treatment.
•Avoid sun exposure for 7 to 10 days. Apply a minimum of SPF 30 every 2 hours if out in the sun (which is NOT recommended)
•May restart Retinol/Retin-A, Vitamin C or any Alpha Hydroxy or Glycolic Acid products in 7 days
•Recommend follow up and repeat treatments in 4 weeks and for best results a series of 3 – 5 treatments
Day 2 (day after treatment): Cleanse with a gentle cleanser, apply REPAIR in AM, followed by sunscreen. Repeat cleansing at night and apply REPAIR again. Repeat for 4 more days following your treatment. Stay away from exfoliants or any acids that are present in cleansers/serums/moisturizers as these can make your skin very dry and irritated after the procedure. Be sure to use an approved SPF 30 or greater sunscreen.
Day 3 – 7: Within approximately 3 days following your medical micro-needling procedure, you may notice skin dryness, redness, discomfort, mild swelling or itchy skin. During this period, you may apply your regular skin moisturizer, OR continue with your post-peel kit which is strongly encouraged. Also please follow any specific instructions given to you by your Medical Aesthetician. Each treatment we do is customized to your skin tone and texture.
Days 7+: A week after the medical micro-needling procedure, most patients notice that their skin is smoother and more radiant. Continue with sun protection every day and reapply every 2 hours if outdoors.
