Microneedling with skin pen post care guidelines

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. 

 1. Apply a generous layer of LIFT HG after the SkinPen Precision procedure. 

 2. 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.

3. 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. 

4. 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.  

5.  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.

6.  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.  

7. 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.  

8. Schedule your next SkinPen Precision appointment with your cosmetic nurse as recommended. 

9. Contact your cosmetic nurse with any questions regarding the procedure.
