Microneedling Post Treatment Instructions

In order to achieve the best results from your microneedling treatment we ask that you read and understand the following instructions. Your Skin Care Specialist / Nurse will review these instructions at the end of your treatment. 

  • Your recovery time will be influenced by how aggressive a treatment you’ve received and your individual skin’s response. Your Skin Care Specialist will have discussed with you the individual time frame but you should expect between 1-4 days. 
  • Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun for 3-5 days. 
  • Sun Block is mandatory if outside and should be reapplied every 2 hours. Physical Sunblock is recommended.

I understand that if I have MicroNeedling with PRP that my blood will be drawn and spun to extract the platelet rich plasma. The plasma portion of my blood will be used as part of my treatment. I acknowledge that with any blood draw that bruising may occur at the needle stick site.

I have been informed about the treatment, procedure, indications, expected results and possible side effects. I understand that I am required to have photographs taken before, during and after treatment for my medical records. Although the results are usually dramatic I have been informed that the practice of medicine is not an exact science and that no guarantees can be or have been made concerning the expected results in my case. I am undergoing treatment of my own free will.

I agree that this procedure is being performed for cosmetic reasons. I am also aware of and accept the risk of unforeseen complications that may not have been discussed and which may result from this treatment.

I acknowledge my obligation to follow the instructions closely and visit the office as directed. I certify that I have read the above consent agreement and fully understand it. These items have been reviewed and discussed with the nurse/skin care specialist and all my questions have been answered to my satisfaction.
