Before the treatment
The following is important for the treatment result to be optimal.
› Skin should not be tanned by the sun, tanning bed or self-tanner. The result can be negatively influenced by activation of your pigment cells (melanocytes). If the skin does have some color, it is better to postpone the treatment for at least a month. If you arrive at your appointment and you are too tanned, we will have to postpone it.
› Inform us every treatment about your current product use, for example the use of selftanner. These have a stimulating effect on your own pigment cells, and this may cause pigment spots to return and negatively affect the microneedling result.
› If you have had a treatment with another specialist elsewhere in the past 4 weeks, or 4weeks after the last treatment, please inform us about this. During our treatments, we advise you not to combine these with other treatments. During your consultation, a tail or made treatment plan will be provided.
› Please do not wax 1 week prior to your treatment until 4 weeks after. Use of retinol and acids is discouraged 3 days prior to treatment. Use of tretinoin (Vitamin A acid) is not recommended 3-7 days prior to treatment.
› Please inform us with every appointment if you are using new or different medication.
› Inform us in case of susceptibility to a cold sore (herpes infection) or other skin conditions. Even if it has just appeared after treatment. Sometimes we prescribe oral antiviral medication preventively in consultation. If you have an active cold sore at the time of the treatment, it needs to be postponed, or another treatment zone may be treated. Always contact us beforehand.
› Please come to your appointment without any make-up.
