Pre-treatment guidelines | Microneedling

• Schedule your appointment at least one week before an event. Redness, swelling and peeling may be apparent in that time period.

• Let your provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.

• You may not have an active rash or infection in the area being treated.

• You’ll need to avoid Accutane for six months prior to treatment.

• You’ll need to avoid waxing for one week before treatment.

• To reduce sensitivity, discontinue topical retinoids 24 hours before treatment.

• If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we require clearance from your OB-GYN.

• To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS and fish oil three days before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
