This guide covers everything you need to know, from one month before your session to five days after, all in one place.
1 Month Before Your Skin Needling Treatment
Why start early?
Skin needling stimulates your skin’s natural repair processes, and the healthier your skin internally and externally, the better your results. Think of it as training for a marathon, your skin needs prep before the big day!
Internal Prep
- Omega-3 supplementation: Take Zinzino BalanceOil or vegan option ( come as 2 x omega sand save 30% ) daily to reduce inflammation and support optimal skin healing. The Capsule option can be found HERE
- Internal collagen support (optional but recommended): Use a high-quality collagen peptide supplement to help your skin produce more collagen naturally. Zinzino Collagen Boozt X is the best on the market and you can purchase 2 months worth for 30 % off HERE
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water daily, hydrated skin heals faster and responds better to treatments. Consider adding electrolytes to support hydration.
External Prep
- Skincare products: Start using gentle, anti-inflammatory, and nourishing products:
- Mohi Bakuchiol – even with vitamin C, it’s safe for sensitive skin and can continue leading up to your session
- Mohi Phyto Cellular Serum – potent cellular support , OR
- Adipeau Strength Gel – a water-based serum to support hydration and healing. You can get 10% through this link ( automatically discounted at cart) or join the subscription- for the biggest dsicount- no additional discounts apply. Please use this link, as it helps support my small business.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants or aggressive actives like retinols, Retin-A, glycolic acids, or alpha hydroxy acids.
Lifestyle Prep
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning.
- If you’ve been sick, on antibiotics, recently vaccinated, or had surgery, please reschedule your appointment.
- If you are pregnant or undergoing IVF, skin needling isn’t recommended, we’ll discuss alternative treatments.
1 Week Before Treatment
- Continue your gentle, anti-inflammatory skincare and recommended serums/oils (Mohi Bakuchiol, Mohi Phyto Cellular Serum, Adipeau Strength Gel).
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or hair removal in the treatment area.
- Optional: Use your Sanleur LED mask daily at home to boost circulation, calm inflammation, and prep skin. 10 % off using my code KINDERLIFE10
- Hydrate well and aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night.
Day of Your Skin Needling Session
Ideally, avoid alcohol the night before your treatment, and we also recommend not consuming alcohol on the day of your appointment or the evening following your skin needling treatment.
- Avoid saunas, hot yoga, or intense exercise for 24 hours prior.
- Avoid taking Omega-3 on the day of your skin rejuvenation treatment, or for three days prior to a deep acne scar renewal session.
- Expect slight redness or a sunburn-like sensation during and after your session, this is completely normal. No make up for 24 hours. We highly suggest you rest at home.
Immediately After & First 4-5 Days Post-Treatment
What to expect:
- Redness, mild swelling, or tiny pinpoint marks for 24–48 hours
- Skin may feel sensitive or warm, but no bleeding or open wounds
- Some people feel their skin is healing well at 4 days, if it still feels a bit raw please continue the basic skin care for 5 days.
Aftercare:
- Use gentle cleansers or oil cleansers only
- Apply water-based serums:
- Adipeau Strength Gel or
- Mohi Phyto Cellular Serum
- Apply sunscreen every day—your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure
- Avoid heat-inducing activities (hot yoga, saunas, HIIT) for at least 48 hours. Gentle movement like walking, Pilates, or slow-flow yoga is fine
- Optional: Resume using Sanleuer LED mask 5 days post-treatment ( 10 % off using my code KINDERLIFE10)
- Use a clean pillowcase and tie yoru hiar up off your face
Additional Tips for Success
- Book a 1-hour Awaken LED facial midway between sessions to enhance results
- Skin needling is most effective as a series of treatments, not a one-off
- Monitor your skin: if you notice unusual irritation, swelling, or infection, contact us immediately
- Avoid aggressive skincare products during your course
