Getting a microneedling session is only part of the equation. How you prepare your skin beforehand has a direct impact on how well your skin responds and how smoothly the healing process goes.
Here is what to keep in mind before your appointment:
π
A few days before, pause any retinoids, acids, or vitamin C products and skip tanning, waxing, peels, or laser treatments so your skin is calm going in.
π« In the 24 to 48 hours before, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, and hold off on blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen unless your doctor has prescribed them.
π§ In the days leading up to your session, focus on keeping your skin well hydrated. Drink plenty of water and use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. Hydrated skin heals faster and responds better to treatment.
π§ On the day of your appointment, arrive with a completely clean face, no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen, and let your provider know about any skin conditions or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Preparation sets the foundation for the best possible results.
