ensure you have allowed adequate time (at least 2 weeks) for any permanent make up or injectables to heal prior to skin needling.
Use sunscreen with an SPF 30 or more daily. Sun burnt skin cannot be treated. Skin that is thin, sensitised or compromised in any way may not be treated until fully healed.
Sun exposure and/or use of tanning beds, including self-tanning products must be avoided 24 before and after the treatment, preferably for one week.
Avoid any irritating skin care ingredients, such as any products containing Hydroquinone, bleaching creams. Retin A, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least 3 days prior to treatment. Please advise your technician if you are currently using any
prescription creams or products.
Do not tweeze or wax the area one week prior to the treatment. This can cause irritation and burns to the skin.
