Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and tones. It is especially beneficial for dull, tired or lax skin, acne scarring, dehydrated or mature skin, photo-damaged skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and décolleté, and stretch marks.

The treatment begins with an in-depth skin analysis, a double cleanse and a gentle exfoliation tailored to your skin’s needs. The microneedling device is then applied with precise and controlled movements to target the specific needs of each area of your face. The skin is divided into sections, and each section generally receives four passes with the device. Don’t worry — although certain areas can be more sensitive, the speed of the technique makes the treatment surprisingly comfortable for most people.

A specialized active serum is then applied and enhanced with ultrasound or radiofrequency for deeper penetration and greater effectiveness.

The treatment concludes with eye care, moisturizer, SPF (for morning appointments) and lip balm.

Avoid exfoliating products such as AHA, BHA, retinol or scrubs for 48 hours beforehand, as well as waxing, self-tan or any new skincare products that could irritate the skin. If you shave, do so the day before to avoid irritation.

If you use topical medications like tretinoin or other retinoids, pause them for 48 hours unless instructed otherwise by your dermatologist.

For the first 24 hours: Avoid makeup (and if absolutely necessary, use only mineral). Sleep on a clean pillowcase and use a clean face towel.

For the first 72 hours: Avoid sweating, hot showers, sauna, steam rooms and intense exercise.

For the first 10 days: Minimize sun exposure and apply SPF daily.

Do not do any form of hair removal (waxing, laser, electrolysis, depilatory creams). Avoid any facial treatments unless I have advised otherwise.

Do not take NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory medications), as inflammation is necessary for proper collagen induction.

Avoid touching your face, picking at the skin, pulling at flaking areas, or exfoliating with scrubs, sponges or peels.

You don’t need to remember everything — you’ll receive a detailed email with exact instructions, tips and everything you’ll need for the days following your treatment.

Microneedling has minimal downtime; mild redness similar to a light sunburn is completely normal and typically fades within a few hours.

In the following days, you may experience slight tightness or dryness, and possibly mild flaking - all part of the natural renewal process.

Over the next two to four weeks, as the skin produces new collagen, the complexion becomes progressively smoother, brighter and firmer.

Most people need a series of sessions for optimal results, which is why I recommend a course of 4–6 treatments spaced about four weeks apart.

For maintenance, one session every few months helps keep the skin fresh, strong and even.

The exact plan is always customized based on your goals and your skin’s needs.
