Short intro paragraph explaining that microneedling is generally safe but not suitable for everyone at all times.
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Experiencing an active acne breakout or skin infection
Diagnosed with certain skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, rosacea)
Prone to keloid scarring or poor wound healing
Taking blood-thinning medications
Using Accutane (within the last 6 months)
Undergoing cancer treatment
Recently had sunburn or laser treatments in the area
Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with active acne, open wounds, skin infections, or certain skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea in the treatment area. It should also be avoided by those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of keloid scarring.
No. Microneedling over active acne can spread bacteria and worsen inflammation. It’s best to wait until the skin has cleared and is no longer inflamed before undergoing treatment.
It depends. People with autoimmune diseases (like lupus or scleroderma) or those taking immunosuppressive medication should consult their doctor first. Their skin may not heal properly or may react unpredictably to the treatment.
Microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate healing. In individuals prone to keloids or hypertrophic scars, this can trigger excessive scar tissue formation, which may worsen the skin’s appearance rather than improve it.
You must wait at least 2 weeks after Botox and 4 weeks after dermal fillers before microneedling to avoid migration or disruption of the injected product. Always inform your provider of any recent aesthetic treatments.
Yes. While many serums and enhancements are formulated for post-needling use, some active ingredients (like vitamin C, retinol, or certain botanicals) can cause redness, stinging, or a rash—especially if your skin barrier is compromised. Always disclose sensitivities beforehand.
Possibly. PRP and PRF are usually well-tolerated and can enhance healing, but some clients may experience temporary swelling, warmth, or bruising at the blood draw or injection site. These effects are typically mild and short-lived.
Yes. Combining a peel with microneedling—either pre- or post-treatment—can significantly intensify exfoliation and increase your risk of flaking, redness, and even post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if not managed carefully. Only suitable for advanced treatment plans and appropriate skin types.
Not typically, but heat-based LED masks (especially with infrared or intense light emission) may irritate freshly needled skin. Stick to professional-grade red or blue light therapy with minimal heat and follow your provider's timing guidelines.
It can be, but these areas are highly sensitive. Swelling, pinpoint bruising, or tenderness is common. Using the correct depth and high-quality, sterile serums is key to minimizing adverse effects.
Tranexamic acid is generally safe and effective for brightening and reducing melasma. Mild tingling or dryness can occur post-treatment, but severe reactions are rare. Consistent aftercare and sun protection are essential for optimal results.
