Before your microneedling procedure, you will want to keep a lookout for any breakouts, lesions, cold sores, or other types of skin irritation. If you notice any of these in the area to be treated before receiving the treatment, contact your treatment specialist to confirm that you will still be able to receive treatment. 

It is important to avoid self-tanning sprays for 48 hours before the procedure and to avoid any product that contains Vitamin A or retinol for 24 hours before the procedure.

Please let your treatment specialist know if you’ve received excessive sun exposure before the procedure.

When you come in for your microneedling procedure at the medical centre, your skincare specialist will first discuss all medical aspects with you and answer any questions you may have. After that, an anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area, as well as a light layer of water to reduce friction between the roller and the skin.

Next, your specialist will roll a series of small needles over the area to be treated, creating several minuscule punctures. The gentle, methodical needling method used by our expert via the DermaPen and DermaRollers Micro-Needle technology induces your skin’s organic self-repair mechanism on a microcosmic scale. The tiny needles are used to gently penetrate your skin and create micro-injuries that trigger the creation of new collagen in the treatment area.

This process, on average, takes about half an hour per treatment. This is not a one time treatment. Our expert skincare clinicians recommend you make multiple visits to receive the full benefits of microneedling.

The microneedling process utilised here at Araya Beauty promotes the growth of collagen in the skin via the DermaPen and DermaRoller application technologies for enhanced comfort and precision.

Thicker collagen results in younger, firmer looking skin. You can also expect reduction of scars, wrinkles, fine lines and premature wrinkling, stretch marks, and pore size.

Microneedling can also help fix skin tone problems that result from rosacea, hyper pigmentation, and age spots. You can expect your skin to recover from microneedling within approximately three days. During these three days you will notice a redness, and will want to avoid excessive sun exposure. You might want to consider a regular microneedling session to maintain your newly youthful look.

This revolutionary new skincare treatment is extremely effective and is proving hugely popular with clients who prefer a rejuvenation method involving significantly less epidermal damage than alternative, more invasive surgical solutions.

Aftercare Advice for Microneedling Treatments at Araya Beauty Clinic:

• Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your face with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser for the first 48 hours post-microneedling. Avoid products containing harsh chemicals or exfoliants during this time.

• Hydrate: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser. This helps to maintain the skin’s moisture balance and supports the healing process.

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least a week post-treatment. If exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

• Skip Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup for the first 24-48 hours after microneedling. This allows the microchannels created during the procedure to close naturally.

• Avoid Harsh Products: Avoid using products containing retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or acidic ingredients for the first few days after microneedling. These substances can irritate the skin during the initial healing phase.

• Skip Swimming and Saunas: Steer clear of swimming pools, hot tubs, and saunas for at least 48 hours post-microneedling. Exposure to bacteria or excessive heat can hinder the healing process.

• Gentle Exercise: While strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first 24-48 hours, light physical activity is generally acceptable. Sweating excessively can potentially irritate the treated skin.

• Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching your face unnecessarily to minimize the risk of introducing bacteria. If you need to touch your face, ensure your hands are clean.

• Use a Mild Cleanser: When you resume your regular cleansing routine, opt for a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel.

• Follow-up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with our clinic. This allows us to assess your progress, address any concerns, and provide additional guidance for ongoing skincare.

• Be Patient: Redness and mild swelling are common after microneedling and usually subside within a few days. Final results may take a few weeks as collagen production continues.

If you experience prolonged redness, severe swelling, or any unexpected side effects, please contact our clinic promptly. We are here to support you on your journey to achieving vibrant and rejuvenated skin.
