Your Microneedling Care Guide

General guidance only. Your specialist's personal advice always comes first.

Before your treatment

Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for 5 days before your appointment.
Avoid sunburn, tanning and facial hair removal for 2 weeks before.
Tell us before your appointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active breakouts or cold sores, have a history of keloid scarring, take blood-thinning medication, or have used isotretinoin (Accutane) in the past 6 months. We may need to reschedule for your safety.

Leave your skin bare for the rest of the day: no makeup, and no products other than those we apply or recommend.
From the next day, cleanse gently with lukewarm water and moisturise.
Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day and limit sun exposure.
Avoid retinoids, acids and exfoliants for 5 to 7 days.
Avoid saunas, swimming, intense workouts and heavy sweating for 72 hours.
Redness, tightness and light flaking are common for a few days. Please don't pick or scrub.

Microneedling usually works best as a planned series. We'll invite you for a skin review to decide the right timing for you.
