Treatment information

Microneedling

Well prepared for your appointment

We will soon welcome you to Fine LaserClinic for microneedling. With good preparation and suitable aftercare, we give your skin the best conditions for a calm recovery.

You will receive this information automatically with your appointment. Please read through the page in advance: you will learn how to prepare your skin, which reactions after the treatment can be normal, and how to use the aftercare products you have been given.

If your treatment plan deviates, other arrangements are made or advice is not followed, we will confirm this by email. That way it is clear to everyone what you can expect and what we expect from you.

Safety in brief

Do not use scrubs, acids, retinol or other exfoliating products around the treatment, and come with clean skin. Use only the recommended aftercare products for the first 48 hours. Protect the skin daily with SPF 50+, avoid sun and sunbeds, and let us know if you are pregnant. Contact us before your appointment and report any new medication or antibiotics.

Before your treatment

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

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

After your treatment

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

In addition, the skin may start to peel in the days that follow. This is because microscopically small channels are created in the skin during the treatment. As a result, moisture can evaporate from the skin and the skin may feel temporarily dry or tight.

Important:

✓Do not pull at loose flakes or bits of 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 skincare products, make-up or active ingredients.

Your aftercare products

After the treatment you will take two aftercare products home with you. These are included in the treatment and support the skin’s recovery.

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 skincare products during the first 48 hours. After 24 hours you may also start with Rescue Calming Complex (blue tube). Other mild skincare 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 with Rescue Calming Complex (blue tube). This care helps replenish moisture in the skin, supports the healing process and calms the skin. The formula has been specially developed to protect the skin barrier while the skin recovers. 48 hours after the treatment you may use other skincare products alongside Rescue Calming Complex again, provided they contain no active acids or irritating ingredients.

Sun & safety during your treatment

After a microneedling treatment the skin is temporarily more sensitive to UV radiation. We therefore advise you not to use sunbeds 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 long periods 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.

Important to know

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 responds 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 affect 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.

Pregnancy

Do you become pregnant during your treatment journey? Please let us know. During pregnancy, certain products and treatments cannot be applied safely, and the treatment plan may be temporarily adjusted.
