MICRONEEDLING TREATMENT

Thoughtful skin renewal. Personalized care, every step of the way.

Your skin deserves care that feels personal—from your first questions to the days following your treatment. At Paridae Beauty, we begin by listening: what you love about your skin, what you would like to improve, and how treatment can fit comfortably into your life.

Our approach brings together a considered treatment plan, a calming environment, and clear guidance for caring for your skin at home. You should feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and supported throughout your experience.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating its natural repair response and collagen production. For suitable candidates, it can gradually improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture. The benefits depend on the device, treatment settings, skin concern, and individual response. (aad.org⁠)

What benefits can I expect?

Depending on your skin and treatment plan, microneedling may help improve:

• The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Uneven or rough-looking skin texture.
• Certain types of acne scarring.
• The appearance of enlarged pores.
• Overall skin smoothness and firmness.

Results develop gradually. Some improvement may become visible within several weeks, while fuller results can take several months. Multiple sessions may be needed, and individual results vary. (aad.org⁠)

Our goal is to help you understand what improvement is realistic for your skin before you commit to treatment.

Your consultation comes first

Please arrive ready to share your skincare routine, medications, allergies, recent treatments, and relevant health history.

Before booking, tell us about:

• Current breakouts, cold sores, rashes, infections, or broken skin.
• Eczema, psoriasis, rosacea flares, or persistent sensitivity.
• A history of keloids, unusual scarring, slow healing, or pigmentation changes.
• Diabetes, immune conditions, bleeding disorders, or cancer treatment.
• Blood thinners, steroids, isotretinoin, and other prescription medications.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Allergies to metals, numbing ingredients, skincare ingredients, or adhesives.
• Recent injectables, laser treatments, peels, waxing, or other skin procedures.

These details can affect whether treatment is appropriate or whether medical clearance or postponement is needed. Never stop a prescribed medication to prepare for a cosmetic appointment without your prescriber’s direction. (fda.gov⁠)

If you have a history of cold sores, contact your medical provider before treatment to discuss whether preventive medication is appropriate.

Preparing your skin

In the weeks before your appointment

Keep your routine consistent and gentle:

• Cleanse without scrubbing.
• Moisturize regularly.
• Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
• Avoid tanning beds, intentional tanning, and sunburn.
• Let us know about upcoming vacations, outdoor activities, and special events.
• Arrange the timing of other facial treatments before scheduling them.

Avoid introducing several new products immediately before your appointment. Your preparation plan should support comfortable, calm skin.

In the days before treatment

Follow your personalized instructions for pausing potentially irritating products, including:

• Retinol and other retinoids.
• Mandelic, glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids.
• Exfoliating toner pads, scrubs, brushes, and enzymes.
• Benzoyl peroxide.
• Strong or acidic vitamin C products.

Do not discontinue prescription skincare without guidance from the prescribing clinician. Avoid waxing, dermaplaning, peels, or other resurfacing treatments near your appointment unless specifically included in your treatment plan.

On appointment day

• Arrive with clean skin when possible.
• Avoid exfoliating or shaving the treatment area immediately beforehand.
• Bring your current skincare list.
• Tell us about any new medication, illness, irritation, sun exposure, or cold sore symptoms.
• Plan for a quiet recovery period and limited sun exposure afterward.

Please contact us before arriving if your skin is sunburned, irritated, or showing signs of infection.

What to expect during your visit

Your appointment begins with a review of your skin and any changes since your last visit. We will discuss the treatment, comfort measures, anticipated recovery, and your questions before proceeding.

Ask us to explain any step along the way. Please speak up if you feel uncomfortable or need a pause.

Before you leave, we will review your home-care instructions, including when to cleanse, which products to use, what to avoid, and how to get help if something does not feel right.

Aftercare: protect, hydrate, and keep things simple

Your individual written instructions take priority over this general guide. Cleansing, sunscreen, and product restart times depend on the treatment performed and the device’s directions.

Immediately after treatment and during the first 24 hours

• Use only the immediate aftercare specifically designated for your treatment.
• Wait until your instructed cleansing time before washing.
• Avoid applying your usual serums, creams, toner pads, masks, oils, or spot treatments unless included in your written plan.
• Wash your hands before touching your face, and keep touching to a minimum.
• Avoid rubbing, picking, facial tools, and exfoliation.
• Use a fresh pillowcase and keep phones and glasses clean.
• Avoid direct sun; use shade and a clean, wide-brimmed hat.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and swimming during the initial recovery period specified in your plan.
• Wait at least 24 hours before makeup, and longer if your skin remains irritated or your instructions require it.

During the following days

Once cleansing and moisturizing are permitted:

1. Cleanse gently. Use cool to lukewarm water and the cleanser selected for your recovery. Avoid washcloths, cleansing brushes, and rubbing.
2. Hydrate as directed. Apply only the serum included in your aftercare plan.
3. Moisturize. Use the recommended moisturizer to address dryness and tightness.
4. Protect during the day. Begin your designated broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher when instructed. Apply the amount directed on its label and reapply as directed, including every two hours outdoors.
5. Keep exfoliation paused. Allow flaking skin to shed naturally.

If instructed to apply hydrating products to slightly damp skin, leave a light amount of moisture after rinsing rather than rubbing your face dry. Apply sunscreen separately, after skincare has settled.

Returning to your regular routine

Do not restart exfoliating acids, toner pads, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, or strong vitamin C simply because 48–72 hours have passed.

Follow your restart schedule and wait until skin has recovered. Persistent redness, tenderness, peeling, or stinging means your skin needs reassessment before adding potentially irritating products.

Reintroduce products gradually rather than restarting everything at once.

Paridae Beauty products for your personalized routine

The products below are options for preparation or ongoing care once permitted—not a universal immediate aftercare kit. We will help you select what suits your skin and identify when each product belongs in your routine.

Already using Growth Factor Serum, Hydrating Hyaluronic acid, Revitalize, or Nourish? These are great products for before and after treatment. Do not automatically apply other usual serum combination to freshly treated skin.

Interested in Recovery Sheet Mask? Use it only if the exact mask and timing are included in your aftercare plan. Avoid substituting another sheet mask during recovery.

What is normal during recovery?

Temporary redness or a darker appearance, mild swelling, tenderness, dryness, tightness, and peeling can occur. Reactions often settle within several days to a week, although recovery varies. (aad.org⁠, fda.gov⁠)

Avoid scheduling your first treatment immediately before an important event. Leave time to understand how your skin responds.

When to seek help

Contact us promptly if recovery is worsening or you are unsure about a reaction.

Seek prompt medical assessment for increasing pain, spreading redness or warmth, pus, fever, blistering, a cold sore outbreak, or significant swelling. For trouble breathing or swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, call 911.

Do not try to treat a concerning reaction by adding more skincare products.

Frequently asked questions

Will one treatment be enough?

Some clients notice improvement after one session, but a series may be needed. The number and spacing of treatments should reflect your concerns, recovery, and response. Results are not guaranteed. (aad.org⁠)

Is microneedling suitable for every skin tone?

It may be an option across skin tones, but pigment changes remain a possible complication. Your history of dark marks and the device’s suitability should be reviewed during consultation. (fda.gov⁠)

Can I have treatment over active acne?

Please disclose active breakouts before your visit. Inflamed, painful, or infected areas need assessment, and treatment may need to be postponed.

Can I wear makeup the next day?

Wait at least 24 hours and follow your individual instructions. If your skin remains irritated, wait longer. Resume with clean hands, clean tools, and products that do not sting.

Should I exfoliate peeling skin?

No. Avoid scrubs, brushes, picking, and exfoliating pads during recovery. Follow your moisturizing plan and allow skin to shed naturally.

Can I use an at-home roller between appointments?

Avoid home needling during your treatment series. Allow your skin to recover between professional sessions and follow the routine provided.

Feel informed. Feel cared for. Begin with a conversation.

You do not need to arrive knowing which treatment or products to choose. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your goals.

At Paridae Beauty, we take time to help you understand your options and create a plan that feels manageable. From preparation to recovery, our intention is for you to feel heard, thoughtfully cared for, and confident about your next step.
