Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do the day before treatment?
Skip retinol and exfoliating products for 2 to 3 days before. Arrive with clean, makeup free skin.
How do I track my progress?
Take photos in the same light and angle before each session. Note skin response at 48 hours, week one, and week four.
What results are realistic?
Expect smoother texture, smaller pores, and improved tone over several sessions. Deep scars and fine lines improve gradually, not overnight.
Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Yes. LED therapy and gentle serums pair well in the days after treatment. Strong peels and laser should be separated by several weeks.
How soon can I book after a peel?
Wait until skin is fully healed, usually 2 to 4 weeks after a chemical peel, before microneedling. Your practitioner will confirm readiness.
Is microneedling suitable during pregnancy?
Most practitioners avoid microneedling during pregnancy because of limited safety data. Confirm with your doctor first.
