PRE & POST CARE

Follow these pre and post treatment instructions to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

*I cannot treat anyone that has used Accutane in the last 6 months, is pregnant or breastfeeding, or is taking blood thinning medication. Microneedling and GREEN PEEL cannot be performed on skin that has received Botox or filler less than 2 weeks prior to your treatment. If you experience cold sores, take an antiviral agent for 2 days prior to and the day of the treatment, plus consult with your physician. I will never microneedle near an active cold sore.

MICRONEEDLING

  • All clients should AVOID the following:

    • Active ingredients (acids, exfoliants, vitamin c, retinol etc.) for 72 hours - 1 week following your treatment. Keep your skin hydrated with a non comedogenic moisturizer and apply mineral SPF 30+ liberally 24 hours after your treatment

    • Prolonged and direct sun exposure on the treated area for 2 weeks

    • Ice and arnica/bromelain on the treated area. This may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical for rejuvenation

    • Anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure, we do not want to stunt the natural healing process
