Micro-Needling Aftercare

To achieve the best results from your microneedle treatment,

we ask that you read the following instructions.

 

Avoid direct sun exposure for 3- 5 days.

 

Avoid swimming, saunas, spas, and long hot baths and showers for 3 days after treatment (you do not want to sweat).

 

Sunblock is mandatory if outside and should be reapplied every 2 hours; we recommend a physical SPF.

 

Avoid waxing and laser treatments for 2 weeks before and after.

 

Avoid facial treatments and chemical peels for 4 weeks.

 

Do not pick or rub at the skin and avoid touching the face as much as possible for 3 days.

 

No exfoliating products before or after treatment for 5 days, unless instructed by your skincare specialist. This includes Vitamin C, Retin-A, astringents, acids, or products containing alcohol/fragrance.

 

No makeup for 48 hours; we recommend you use mineral makeup during that time.

 

Increase water intake to include at least 8 glasses per day.

 

 

Wash the treated area with a gentle cleanser for 3 days post-treatment. This can be purchased at Beauty by Britt. Do not use a washcloth as they can irritate the skin. Let the skin air dry or lightly pat dry with a very gentle towel.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER?

 

Your recovery time will be influenced by how aggressive your treatment was, along with your individual skin's response. Your skincare specialist will have advised you of your unique timeframe; however, you should expect between 1-4 recovery days.
