How to Prepare for Your Injection Treatment or Microneedling Session
Proper preparation can enhance the results of your injection treatment or microneedling session while ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. Follow these steps to get ready:
1. Avoid Blood Thinners
To minimize the risk of bruising or bleeding, avoid medications and supplements that thin the blood for at least 7 days before your treatment. This includes:
- Aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen
- Vitamin E
- Fish oil or omega-3 supplements
- Alcohol (limit intake 24-48 hours before treatment)
Always consult your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed medication.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments and promotes faster recovery.
3. Protect Your Skin
Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunburns for at least two weeks before your appointment. Treatments should be done on skin that is free from irritation or sun damage.
4. Avoid Active Skincare Products
Discontinue the use of harsh skincare products, such as:
- Retinoids (e.g., Retin-A)
- Exfoliating acids (e.g., AHAs or BHAs)
- Vitamin C serums
Stop using these products 3-5 days before treatment to reduce sensitivity.
5. Plan Around Social Events
Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal after treatment. Schedule your session when you can allow for adequate recovery time before major events.
6. Clean Skin
Arrive at your appointment with clean skin. Avoid wearing makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen on the treatment area.
7. Share Your Medical History
Let your provider know about any allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are taking. This ensures your safety and allows the provider to tailor the treatment to your needs.
8. Mentally Prepare
Microneedling and injection treatments are minimally invasive, but you might feel slight discomfort. Rest assured that our experts will make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Skin needling is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and elasticity while promoting your skin’s natural healing processes. This minimally invasive procedure helps you achieve a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.
How Skin needling Works
Using a device equipped with fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, encouraging cell turnover and skin renewal.
Benefits of Skin needling
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Promotes collagen production to minimize signs of aging.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Smooths out uneven areas and refines pores.
- Fades Scars and Stretch Marks: Effectively treats acne scars, surgical scars, and more.
- Enhances Product Absorption: Boosts the effectiveness of serums and treatments applied post-procedure.
- Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime: Achieve noticeable results with a safe and quick recovery process.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Microneedling is performed by a trained professional using a device tailored to your skin’s unique needs. After cleansing and applying a numbing agent for comfort, the device is gently passed over the treatment area, stimulating renewal while leaving the surface intact.
Areas Skin Needling Can Treat
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Scalp (for hair restoration)
