There are a few steps you can take to prepare your skin for RF microneedling and ensure you get the best results. Before your treatment, you should:
Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least two weeks.
Skip irritating skincare products like Retin-A in the week leading up to your treatment.
Inform us of any recent skincare treatments like IPL, chemical peels, neuromodulators, or dermal fillers.
Provide us with a list of your current medications, including over-the-counter supplements.
If you get cold sores, ask your doctor about taking an anti-viral medication before and after your appointment to prevent a flare-up.
Stop taking NSAIDs like aspirin, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve one week before your appointment.
If you have questions about which skincare products to avoid or medications that could interfere with RF microneedling, our providers are happy to help.
