Treating fine lines

To carry out the treatment safely and effectively, we ask you to take the following into account:

• ✓Do not scrub your skin in the 7 days before and 7 days after the treatment.
• ✓For 3 days before and 3 days after the treatment, do not use products with active ingredients such as acids, retinol or exfoliants, unless otherwise indicated.
• ✓Come to the appointment with clean skin. The treatment area must be free of make-up, body lotion, deodorant and other skin products.
• ✓You will receive personal product advice from us that suits your skin, microneedling treatment and recovery.

After the treatment the skin may feel warm, red, tight or sensitive. This is a normal skin reaction after microneedling and usually subsides within 2 to 48 hours.

It is also possible that the skin will peel a little in the days that follow. This is because microscopic channels are created in the skin during the treatment. As a result, moisture can evaporate from the skin and the skin may temporarily feel dry or tight.

Important:

• ✓Do not pull at loose flakes or peeling skin. This can disrupt the healing process and damage the skin.
• ✓Cool the skin only if necessary, and always in a gentle, indirect way.
• ✓For the first 48 hours, do not use your own skin products, make-up or active ingredients.

Your aftercare products

After the treatment you took two aftercare products home with you. These are included in the treatment and support the recovery of the skin.

Skinfuse Lift HG (white tube)

Apply Skinfuse Lift HG (white tube) several times a day to the treated skin during the first 24 hours. Do not use your own skin products during the first 48 hours. After 24 hours you may additionally start using Rescue Calming Complex (blue tube); other mild skin products may only be used after 48 hours, and only if they contain no active acids or irritating ingredients.

Rescue Calming Complex (blue tube)

After 24 hours you may start using Rescue Calming Complex (blue tube). This care helps replenish moisture deficiency in the skin, supports the healing process and calms the skin. The formula is specially developed to protect the skin barrier while the skin heals. 48 hours after the treatment, it is again permitted to use other skin products alongside Rescue Calming Complex, provided they contain no active acids or irritating ingredients.

After a microneedling treatment the skin is temporarily more sensitive to UV radiation. We therefore advise you not to use a sunbed for 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after the treatment, and to protect your skin well from sunlight.

Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the treatment. In addition, use SPF 50+ daily. On sunny days we advise reapplying sunscreen several times a day.

If you do spend a long time in the sun, make sure the treated area is well protected or covered.

Well-protected skin supports the healing process and reduces the risk of pigment shifts or irritation.

Microneedling for scars: for scars younger than 2 years we advise silicone gel as additional care. Use it according to your personal product advice.

Every skin reacts differently to treatments. The average number of treatments we mention on the website or during the intake consultation is therefore always an indication.

Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, hormones, medication, sun exposure and following advice can influence the final result. In some cases more treatments are needed than expected in advance.

The result achieved may also be temporary. Depending on the skin indication, maintenance treatments may be needed to keep the result looking good.
