PRE-CARE AND POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Microneedling with Exosomes

Two Weeks Prior to Treatment

  • Sun Protection: Avoid prolonged UV exposure. Treatment cannot be performed on tanned, sunburned, or compromised skin.

  • No Self-Tanners: Discontinue the use of self-tanning lotions or sprays on the target area.

  • Aesthetic Procedures: Refrain from microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other microneedling sessions within 14 days of your appointment.

​

Three Days Prior to Treatment

  • Pause Irritants: Stop using topical products that may sensitize the skin.

  • Active Ingredients: Discontinue use of Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), Alpha/Beta Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Salicylic), Vitamin C serums, or physical scrubs.

​

Day of Treatment

  • Skin Preparation: Cleanse the treatment area thoroughly. Do not apply lotions, oils, powders, or perfumes.

  • Face & Neck: Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. If you have long hair, please bring a tie to keep it away from the treatment zone.

​

What Can Be Expected?

  • Immediate Sensation: You may experience a sensation similar to a moderate sunburn; skin often feels warm, tight, and looks flushed.

  • Texture Changes: For 1–5 days post-treatment, skin may feel dry, appear pink, and undergo light flaking or peeling.

  • Cosmetic Gap: NO MAKEUP should be applied for at least 48 hours to allow micro-channels to close.

​

Post-Treatment Care

  • CLEAN: Wait at least 4–6 hours before washing your face to allow topicals (PRP/Exosomes) to absorb. Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser and lukewarm water. Always wash your hands before touching your face.

  • HYDRATE: Apply a healing ointment (like Aquaphor) or a recovery balm for the first 48 hours. Follow with a clinical-grade moisturizer until the skin is fully repaired.

  • MAKEUP: You may resume makeup application after 48 hours. Ensure all brushes and sponges are deep-cleaned before use.

  • PROTECT: Starting 24 hours post-procedure, apply a broad-spectrum Physical Sunscreen (Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide) with at least SPF 30 daily. Avoid chemical filters until the skin has finished peeling.

​

What to Avoid

To ensure optimal healing and results, please observe the following:

  • Active Skincare: Do NOT use Retinols, Vitamin C, or Acid-based exfoliants for at least 7 days post-treatment.

  • UV Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for two weeks. Tanning beds are strictly prohibited for 30 days.

  • Water & Heat: No swimming in pools, lakes, or oceans for 48 hours.

  • Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy sweating for 48 hours. Gym environments contain bacteria that can cause adverse reactions in open micro-channels.
