Why Microneedling Facial Therapy?

You’ve heard of it. You’ve seen the before-and-after shots. Microneedling facial therapy is the go-to for boosting collagen and revealing firm, fresh skin. At SkinMD, they’ve nailed the basics. Great. But Precia Aesthetics takes it further.

Preparing for Microneedling Facial Therapy

Pre-treatment care can make or break your results. Here’s what you must know:

Avoid Blood Thinners

Painkillers like ibuprofen and aspirin thin your blood. Sounds helpful? Not here. Thinner blood = more bruising.

  • No NSAIDs for 7 days before your session.
  • Opt for acetaminophen if you need relief.
  • Skip supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, turmeric and ginger.

Pause Retinoids & Accutane

Retinoids accelerate cell turnover. Great for acne, not so much for fragile new skin channels.

  • Stop isotretinoin (Accutane) at least 6 months before.
  • Avoid topical retinoids and oral vitamin A for 1 week prior.
  • Bring your meds list to your Precia consultation—our experts will advise you.

Skip Hair Removal Treatments

Shaving is fine up to the day before. Waxing, laser, creams? Steer clear.

  • No waxing, laser or depilatory creams 8 days before.
  • Shave with a fresh blade and gentle foam the night prior.

Hold Off on Heat-Based Treatments

Any treatment that inflames—IPL, harsh chemical peels, microdermabrasion—needs a two-week buffer.

  • Avoid laser and IPL for 14 days pre-treatment.
  • No chemical peels or physical exfoliation.

Protect Against UV Damage

Sunburned skin + needles = ouch.

  • SPF 30+ broad spectrum daily. Reapply every 4 hours.
  • Minimise sun exposure between 10am–4pm.
  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat outdoors.

Aftercare for Microneedling Facial Therapy

The magic happens after you leave the treatment room. Your skin enters repair mode. Here’s how to guide it:

No NSAIDs

Inflammation drives collagen. Fight it, and you fight your results.

  • Hold off NSAIDs for 7 days post-treatment.
  • Acetaminophen is your friend for discomfort.

Hands Off Your Face

Your fingertips carry oils and bacteria. No picking, peeling or aggressive exfoliation.

  • Let peeling happen naturally.
  • Wear gloves if you’re fidgety.
  • Masks help if cheeks or chin were treated.

Moisturise Wisely

Balance is key. Too much and you prolong peeling. Too little and you risk tightness.

  • Oily/normal skin: once daily with a fragrance-free balm.
  • Dry skin: twice daily with Cerave, Aquaphor or Vaseline.
  • VIP members receive a complimentary soothing mask in their post-care kit.

Skip Sweaty Workouts

Sweat = salt + bacteria on fresh microchannels.

  • No hot yoga, saunas or jacuzzis for 3 days.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise—yes, that includes spin class.
  • Preferred members get a free gentle LED session to speed healing.

Cosmetics Curfew

Makeup can clog healing channels. Wait 5–7 days.

  • Mineral makeup is okay once peeling starts.
  • After full recovery, go wild again.

Cold Showers & Avoid Ice

Ice impedes the inflammatory burst your skin needs.

  • Stick to lukewarm showers.
  • No ice packs, arnica or bromelain supplements.

Sleep on Your Back

Gravity matters. Keep pressure off treated areas.

  • Elevate your head for 7 nights.
  • Use pillows or even a recliner if you toss and turn.

Skip Alcohol & Tobacco

Yes, it’s tough. But dehydration and toxins slow healing.

  • No booze for 7 days.
  • Avoid cigarettes, vaping and nicotine patches.
