    Microneedling

  • What to expect after your treatment

    • Skin may feel calm, hydrated, and comfortable immediately after treatment

    • Some clients experience mild sensitivity or light breakouts as congestion and impurities surface — this is temporary and part of the skin’s rebalancing process

    The first 24 hours

    Please Avoid:

    • Touching or rubbing the face

    • Makeup or fragranced skincare products

    • Strong sunlight or UV exposure

    • Heat-based treatments (sauna, steam room, hot yoga, sunbeds)

    • Smoking and alcohol, which can impair skin healing

    First 48 hours

    Please avoid:

    • Exfoliating products or tools

    Supporting your skin from within

    • Drink plenty of water to support hydration and help the skin rebalance

    • Maintain a simple, nourishing skincare routine while the barrier recovers
