Drink lots of water!
Change your pillowcase
Avoid washing your face for at least 2 hours to allow for any serums, growth factors or products to continue to absorb into the skin.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser like Cetaphil, CeraVe, the evening of the service.
After cleansing, dry with a clean towel. Apply serum or product(s) provided. This adds a semi-occlusive protective barrier for the skin.

Post 24-48 Hours Don't:

Sweat: this can clog pores and lead to infection or breakouts. This includes saunas, steam rooms, hot baths or showers, *working out.
Sun exposure: Stay out of the sun. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face and apply a high-SPF sunscreen that’s also moisturizing.
Makeup: Face makeup could introduce dirt and bacteria to your skin, so avoid wearing makeup.
Skincare: Avoid active skincare products containing retinoids, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). No scented products. Also, no exfoliation, scrubbing, rubbing, or facial treatments such as laser, peels, or waxing.
After initial 72 hours you may experience a roughness or dryness to skin, peeling may occur.
1 week post treatment skin should be completely healed. You may resume your normal skincare routine. (See below) Some people now see a noticeable difference; improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation as well as overall texture. *Collagen is still being produced and remodeled over the following weeks, so you can expect even more improvement!
Continue to avoid invasive procedures that may impact the skin’s barrier, including additional microneedling (of the same area), waxing, peels, or laser treatments for several weeks.
