Pre Care Appointment Instructions

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling temporarily creates thousands and thousands of micro-channels into the skin to be repaired by new healthy collagen. It also allows topical solutions to absorb 200%-300% more effectively into the living skin below. During treatment, serums may be applied (containing naturally-derived growth factors, peptides and cytokines) restore and increase biological communication within the skin during the wound-healing cascade that an aging immune system no longer provides. This is why we cover and heal slower as we get older. A perfect balance of gentle stimulation for your skin to youthfully heal and repair itself, complimented by the infusion of nutritious and vital factors responsible for helping you produce... your best skin!

NO actives for 7 days before the treatment:
-Acids:
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) (like glycolic acid and lactic acid) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) (like salicylic acid) are chemical exfoliants that can help improve skin texture and address acne.

-Antioxidants:
Vitamin C and Vitamin E help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

-Retinoids:
Retinol, a form of Vitamin A, is known for its anti-aging and skin-renewing properties, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

-Niacinamide:
A form of Vitamin B3, niacinamide can help improve skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and address hyperpigmentation.

-Hyaluronic Acid:
A powerful humectant, hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate the skin and improve its overall appearance.

-Ceramides:
Ceramides are lipids that naturally occur in the skin and help to maintain its barrier function, preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants.

-Peptides:
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.

-Benzoyl Peroxide:
An effective ingredient for treating acne, benzoyl peroxide helps to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation

Appointment After Care Instructions

Maximize Your Results: The Science Behind Aftercare
Your aftercare routine is just as important as the treatment itself; playing a crucial role in achieving the best possible outcome. In fact, proper aftercare contributes to 60% of your final results!
The key to optimal healing and enhanced skin rejuvenation lies in the consistent use of post-treatment serums. These serums are formulated to stimulate collagen production, accelerate cell turnover, and ensure your skin receives the nutrients it needs for visible, long-lasting improvement. Skipping this step can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.

Two Essential Steps to Supercharge Your Results
1. Collagen Supplementation –
Collagen is the foundation of healthy, youthful skin. We offer a high-quality (fully organic and glyphosphate residue free) collagen supplement at our studio, and we recommend starting it immediately. Supplementing with collagen supports skin repair, elasticity, and hydration from within—helping your skin rebuild more effectively after treatment.

2. Hydration & Water Intake –
Proper hydration is essential for skin recovery. Increasing your water intake helps prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL)—a process where moisture escapes from the skin, leading to dryness and slower healing. Staying hydrated ensures that your skin remains plump, resilient, and better able to retain the benefits of your treatment.
By following these steps, you’re not just maintaining your results—you’re maximizing them! 
 
Here are a few things to remember after your treatment while you are healing :
1. DO NOT
apply anything to treated areas for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished unless it is provided to you by your certified ProCell provider with instructions.

2. DO NOT
put anything on your skin post microneedling for 24 hours. This is a strict rule. You run the risk of getting granulomas, which is not always easily treatable.

3. DO NOT
touch treated areas with your hands, cellphone or any other foreign objects for 90 minutes after your treatment is finished! Bacteria from these sources can cause irritation or possible acne breakout.

4. Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours post treatment.
You may apply sunscreen 90 minutes after your treatment is finished.

5. Please be sure to have a clean pillow case after your sessions are complete.

6. Hydrate and moisturize your skin constantly to achieve the best results!
Never let your skin dry out! If you experience excessive dryness in the days or weeks following your treatment, you can purchase additional post-treatment hydrating masks from us! Water is the least expensive and most powerful advantage you can add to your daily skincare routine!

Post-care Cellular Renewal & Healing Accelerator Serum:
Apply twice daily at home to enhance results. Starting 24 hours after treatment. Throughly cleanse treated areas and apply Cellular Renewal Serum (Step 1) Wait 30 seconds and apply Healing Accelerator Serum (Step 2) Wait for serums to fully absorb before applying any other product to treated area. Requires direct contact with skin to be effective.

Things your skin may be feeling that are signs the treatment is working:
​Tightness, itchiness, warmth, sensitivity, general light sunburn appearance to skin, redness etc... These are all great indications that your skin is healing and producing youthful collagen!
