Skin needling
Skin needling is the process of applying a skin needling pen across the surface of your skin.

Post-Treatment Tips
-
Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.
-
Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.
-
Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks. After 24 hours, always use sunblock (30 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.
-
Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.
Pre care
-
Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 5-7 days prior to your treatment.
-
Do not take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil for at least 3 days prior to your microneedling session. These will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical for your skin rejuvenation.
-
Avoid IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least 2 weeks prior to your procedure.
-
No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5-7 days prior.
-
Avoid blood thinning agents for one week prior because bruising is a common side effect of microneedling.
