Skinstylus® Microneedling Pre- and Post- Procedure Instructions

The SkinStylus® SteriLock® MicroSystem is a minimally invasive, micro-needling device. The SkinStylus device creates microchannels into the skin’s outer layers. As these microchannels heal, the remodeling process works to improve the skin’s appearance.

Before Microneedling Treatment

● Do not use any retinoid products or applications 48 hours prior to your treatment.

● Do not expose yourself to prolonged sun exposure (i.e.: 4 hours) 24hrs prior to your treatment. A SkinStylus treatment will not be administered on sunburned or windburned skin. 

● On the day of the treatment, please keep the treatment area clean.

● If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another outbreak of cold sores. Please let us know so you can be prescribed antiviral medication prior to treatment.

After Microneedling Treatment

● Keep the skin clean and avoid touching the treatment area.

● Do NOT use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinoids (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula) or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare for at least 4 days post treatment.

● Avoid direct sunlight to the treatment area for 24 hours. No tanning beds.

● Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours.

● No exercising or strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment.
