SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING
It is important to keep your skin well hydrated after the SkinPen procedure.
Microneedling causes a temporary increase in water loss so keeping your skin hydrated and protected during this period will aide your recovery experience.
Do not use any other products, including cleanser, on your skin within the first 24 hours post procedure. Unexpected complications may occur when products not proven safe for use with microneedling are applied post procedure. In lieu of cleansing your skin, you may rinse with cool water as needed. For PRP leave for at least 6 hours.
Apply a generous layer of LIFT HG after the SkinPen Precision procedure.
LIFT HG may be reapplied additionally the day of the procedure to assist with skin hydration. Reapply, as needed, up to 24 hours post- procedure or until the product is depleted.
If you have RESCUE Calming Complex, begin applying as needed after the first 24 hours to help soothe and calm the skin. RESCUE was specifically formulated for post-microneedling.
Strictly avoid sun exposure the day of the procedure as you will not be wearing sunscreen. You may return to sunscreen use 24 hours following the procedure. Continue to minimize sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure.
Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive perspiration for 72 hours post-procedure, as excess blood flow and sweat can cause discomfort and irritation to compromised skin.
Avoid using any active skincare topical products, such as retinoids, vitamin C etc., for the first week after the SkinPen Precision procedure to reduce risk of irritation.
Schedule your next SkinPen Precision appointment with your healthcare provider as recommended.
Contact your health care provider with any questions regarding the procedure
