PRE & POST CARE
Follow these pre and post treatment instructions to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
* 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. You must wait 6 months after Accutane use to do microneedling or Green Peel. I cannot treat pregnant or breastfeeding mothers with microneedling or anyone taking blood thinning medication.
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
