Preparing Skin:
Avoid sun exposure or tanning bed at least 4 weeks prior to treatment and during the treatment process.
Do not exercise the day before or for 48 hours after the injection treatment.
Avoid caffeine containing food or beverages the day of treatment.
Avoid medications such as: Aleve, Advil, cold remedies, Vitamin E or aspirin 3 days prior to treatment.
Avoid Retin-A, chemical peels, injectable fillers or Botox 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Use a sun block with an SPF 30+ with UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum protection.
Notify us if you have or have had cold sores in the past. You can get an anti-viral prescription to avoid any breakout after treatments from your pharmacy.
If you have open cuts, wounds, abrasions or active acne or cold sores breakouts, we cannot perform the procedure.
Eat a healthy diet, whole food vitamins and daily omega 3 fish oil. It is also advisable to take 1000 mg of vitamin C and 2000 iu. of vitamin D3. This ensures an increase in vitamins internally and externally and will greatly aid in the healing process.
Best to drink 8 glasses of water/non-caloric fluids per day. Keep Hydrated.
DAY OF TREATMENT:
Must be On Time. (preferably a little earlier) You will need to have numbing cream applied as well as fill out paperwork. This procedure cannot be rushed. Any client that is 10 minutes late, MUST reschedule. It is not fair to the next client to have to wait. No Exceptions. Give yourself PLENTY of time for traffic (Just assume it is going to be bad and leave early. It is always better to be early than late.) Give yourself plenty of time for weather conditions, as well.
Day of treatment, wear comfortable clothing. DO NOT wear any jewelry please. (Do not wear earrings or necklaces, or any jewelry on head and neck area.) They will have to be removed. We are not responsible for lost jewelry or items.
Topical Lidocaine will be applied in office for 15-20 minutes prior to treatment. (depending on area treated)
Skin must be clean... without any lotions, creams, oils, makeup, powder, perfume or sunscreen. ( I will cleanse, but it is best to come in with a clean face. NO mascara please! I understand if you are coming in from work, etc.. but if you are coming in from home, please ...NO makeup at all.)
Inform us of any relevant changes in your medical history and of all medications you are taking.
Notify us of any cosmetic tattoos to areas being treated.

Day 2: A red or pink hue persists like moderate sunburn. Swelling and slight bruising may be more noticeable on the second day. Minor scratches may be visible. Apply moisturizer as needed.
Day 3: Skin can be pink or normal color. If there was any swelling, it will subside.

Light peeling may occur (with the Derma Pen procedure.. not usually with the RF Microneedling) in about two - three days and will be replaced with brand new skin.
Home Care:

Do NOT use a wash cloth or a Clarisonic brush. Use your fingers only. Gently cleanse areas treated twice a day. Do not use exfoliating products for 72 hours.
Cold compresses may be applied following treatment for comfort. If neck or décolletage are treated, the redness might last slightly longer.
