Pre & Post Car Advice

Following all these instructions will maximize your treatment results:

Avoid active skincare for 7 days before your treatment (Retinols, Acid, Exfoliants).

Avoid sun exposure 48hrs before – we would not be able to do the treatment on sunburned skin.
No botox, injectables or fillers 2 weeks before

If you are concerned about allergies or sensitive skin please make us aware before your treatment a patch test may need to be done.

Reactions from treatment include skin redness and flushing, tightness, itching, tenderness, stinging, swelling and some pinpoint bleeding.

Effects will usually typically resolve within hours, and many people are able to return to their normal activities the same or next day. Some people may react differently and may experience these reactions for longer.
However, these reactions are temporary and typically resolve within 3-4 days as the skin returns to normal.
There is a small risk of side effects causing the skin to turn very red, blister, swell, peel and later scab and crust. In severe cases infection and ulceration may result, although this is not expected to occur due to the sterility of the derma roller/microneedling device and the minimally invasive nature of the micro-medical needles.
Microneedle therapy procedure may cause areas of bruising although this would not normally be expected to occur, the eye contour being the area at most risk. Any such bruising will be temporary. If you are taking any medication or dietary supplements that can affect platelet function and bleeding time, the severity and period of bruising can be extended, also the presence of petechiae (small red or purple spots beneath the skin) may be observed.
There is a small risk that hyperpigmentation of the skin can occur after the procedure, although this is not normally expected as the epidermis of the skin is not removed as a result of the procedure. Failure to follow the advice detailed below can increase this risk.
As with the use of any product, there is also a small risk of a reaction to the mesotherapy products.

Refrain from touching the skin with your hands until the pores have had chance to close. DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN. Any redness should subside over a 24 - 36 hour period.

Gently wash the treated areas on the same day, but do not rub or massage the face for 2 weeks. Cleanse using a mild cleanser.

It is recommended that the use of soaps, other than those recommended by your practitioner, on the treated skin area is restricted until the redness subsides and where possible lukewarm water and / or gentle skin cleansers are used for cleansing. Do not scrub. Pat to dry only with a clean towel.

Use of intensive moisturiser is advised for at least a week as your skin may feel drier or tighter after your treatment – this is quite normal.

Avoid facial products containing fragrance for 3-5 days after treatment as these may irritate the skin.

Make up can be applied once the skin has settled, but ensure all brushes and sponges have been cleaned.

Refrain from extreme temperatures such as intensive sun light, saunas, sunbed, steam bath for a period of at least 2 weeks after treatment.

Apply a sunscreen with an SPF30+ on a daily basis and with regular applications for a period of at least 2 weeks.

Avoid electrolysis, waxing, bleaching (face), depilatory creams, laser hair removal for at least 72 hours.

Refrain from touching the scalp with your hands until the pores have had chance to close. DO NOT PICK OR PULL THE SKIN. Any redness should subside over a 24 - 36 hour period.

Gently wash the treated areas the next day, with lukewarm water but do not rub or massage the scalp for 1 week. Cleanse using a non-irritating shampoo such as the CLINICCARE Energizing Shampoo and Conditioner

It is recommended that the use of shampoos, other than those recommended by your practitioner, on the treated skin area is restricted until the redness subsides. Dry with a clean towel.

Use of a soothing and healing lotion such as Cebelia Soothing Lotion for Scalps is advised for a few days as skin may feel drier, tighter or itchy after treatment- this is quite normal.

Avoid products containing fragrance for 3-5 days after treatment as these may irritate the skin.

Refrain from extreme temperatures such as intensive sun light, saunas, sunbed, steam bath or hairdryers on a hot setting for a period of at least 2 weeks after treatment.

Avoid sun exposure on the day of treatment. Apply a hat or sunscreen with an SPF30+ (such as the CLINICCARE Sun Shield Cream SPF30) on a daily basis for at least 2 weeks.

48 hours after treatment, the daily application of Amalian Hair Booster or Cebelia Anti-Hair Loss Lotion in the evening is recommended to help boost results.
