Microneedling

TREATMENT EXPLANATION

What Is XCellarisPro Microneedling Treatment?

Microneedling treatment is minimally invasive. Punctures the epidermis and, with longer needles the dermis, without leaving open wounds on the skin. This allows epithelial function to be restored within a very short time, resulting in a very short regeneration phase. Among other effects, the micro punctures cause an increased collagen production of the skin. The mechanism of action is called “Percutaneous Collagen Induction” (PCI) or “Collagen Induction Therapy” (CIT).

What Can Microneedling Help With?

Before and After Treatment Advice

Pre-Treatment Care

  • Schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional to discuss your goals, assess your skin, and determine if microneedling is suitable for you.
  • Reduce sun exposure: Limit sun exposure for at least two weeks before the procedure.
  • Topical products: We advise not to use any makeup on the day of the treatment. If makeup is used, it must be taken off before the treatment can start.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Avoid anti-inflammatory tablets such as Ibuprofen without medical advice as these may impact treatment success.
  • Hydrate: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the procedure.

Post-Treatment Symptoms

  • Expect some redness, swelling, and minor bruising, which is normal. These should subside within a few days.
  • Avoid irritating products: Refrain from using cosmetics, particularly those that are irritating, directly after the treatment. After pinpoint bleeding has stopped and the skin is considered intact, you may apply our skincare products (hydration).
  • Sun protection / Heat-related treatments: Strictly avoid sunbathing for at least two weeks after the treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF of 30+ regularly.
  • Gentle cleansing.
  • Moisturise: Between and after treatments, apply a non-comedogenic ( a product that won’t clog or block the pores) and hypoallergenic moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated.
  • Avoid makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 – 48 hours after microneedling.
  • No scrubbing or exfoliating: Avoid aggressive scrubbing or exfoliating for a few days after the procedure.
  • Follow-up appointments: Schedule any recommended follow-up appointments as advised by your practitioner to monitor your progress.
  • Most patients require 2-4 treatments with an interval of eight weeks between treatments to achieve the best results. This will vary from individual to individual. Always follow the specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional, as individual needs may vary. If you experience excessive or prolonged side effects, contact your practitioner for guidance.
