Microneedling Treatment Instructions

Before Treatment

Avoid aspirin and blood thinning medications or supplements for one week before treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and retinoids for 24 hours before your treatment.
To minimize discomfort during your procedure, we recommend you apply topical numbing cream one hour before your treatment.
Please arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.

Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours post-procedure. After 24 hours, wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day and reapply as needed.
Avoid swimming, strenuous activity and exercising for the first 24 hours post-procedure.
During the first 1-3 days, your skin may appear red like a sunburn, and may feel warm and tight.
For the first 3-5 days, use the post-care kit provided or gentle skin care products such as Cetaphil or Cerave cleansers and lotions. After 3-5 days, you may resume your normal skincare routine.

For additional questions regarding this procedure, please contact your provider at Central Texas Dermatology or SkinCare Austin.
