After-Care

• It is important to keep your skin well hydrated after the SkinPen procedure. Skin needling causes a temporary increase in water loss so keeping your skin hydrated and protected during this period will aid your recovery. 

• 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.

• 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 skin needling are applied post-procedure. In lieu of cleansing your skin, you may rinse with cool water as needed. 

• Begin applying RESCUE Calming Complex as needed after the first 24 hours to help soothe and calm the skin. RESCUE was specifically formulated for post-skin needling. 

• 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 minimise 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 week after your skin needling procedure to avoid risk of irritation. 

• Schedule your next skin needling appointment as recommended. 

• Contact us with any questions or concerns regarding the procedure.
