  • What is microneedling?

 

  • It is a medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to trigger the wound healing process, which results in rapid regeneration of collagen and elastin, as well as keratin cells.

 

 

  • What needle depth should I microneedle with?

 

  • The needle depth depends on the treatment you are providing to the client – what skin concern are you addressing, what is the area of concern, and what is the thinness/thickness of the skin being treated?
  • The deeper you go into the skin does not make treatment better or gives you faster result
  • Please refer to the Treatment Protocol forms

 

 

  • How long should clients wait till their next microneedling treatment?

 

  • Wound healing cascade typically requires 30-day intervals for the client’s best care and results
  • Repeat treatment every four to six weeks for anti-aging and scar revision
  • Repeat treatment every two to three weeks for pigmentation correction
  • Repeat treatment every three to four weeks for hair restoration treatment

 

  • MR2, MR3: Treat once or twice a week.
  • MR5: Treat once every 2 - 4 weeks.
  • MR10, MR15, MR20: Treat once every 4 - 6 weeks

 

 

  • Can I use any cosmetic product during a microneedling treatment? Which ones should we avoid?

 

  • Not all products are designed to go INTO the skin and are for topical use only. Use only sterile products that are intentionally formulated for transdermal delivery
  • Avoid retinol before and after microneedling

 

  • OTC retinol can be used 72 hours before microneedling and 1 week after microneedling
  • Prescription retinol can be used 1 week before microneedling and 1-2 weeks after microneedling depending on the strength

 

 

  • What other procedures can I perform along with microneedling?

 

  • Before Microneedling: Light chemical peels, Dermaplaning
  • During Microneedling: PRP, LED, IPL, Light therapy, Radiofrequency

 

 

  • What procedures should we avoid? How long should clients wait before seeking other procedures?

 

  • Accutane, Botox, fillers, laser treatments, PDO threads, deep chemical peels
    • Botox, microdermabrasion, chemical peels – 2 weeks after microneedling
    • PDO threads – 4-6 weeks after microneedling
    • Fillers and Laser treatments – minimum 1 month after microneedling
    • Accutane – minimum 6 months after microneedling

 

 

  • Can we use several of the serums together in one session or do we have to choose one? For example, can I use APGF and then send the patient home with vital W or the pigmentation serum?

 

  • We advise only using one microneedling solution at a time per treatment. If you have a client trying to address multiple skin concerns with microneedling, we advise you to alternate solutions with each treatment. For example, if you have a client with anti-aging and hyperpigmentation issues, a Vital W/APGF anti-aging solution should be used during one treatment, and a Vital PS solution can be used at the following session.
