The right time for treatment varies from person to person. In general, it is recommended if you want firm and glowing skin.

Immediately after treatment, many describe a feeling of sunburn on the skin. In the following days, a slight itch, a feeling of tightness and even scaling may be noticeable on the skin. A little expert tip: Provide the skin with sufficient moisture and healthy fats, such as ceramides. These strengthen the skin barrier and support the healing process.

Depending on which need is to be met in the treatment, various active ingredients can be used. For example, peptides are often used in anti-aging, niacinamides for acne and vitamin C for pigmentation spots! Hyaluronic acid and possibly retinol are also used for microneedling!

The difference in treatments is the depth of penetration of the needles. While cosmetic microneedling may only be performed in the epidermis (up to 0.5 mm thick), as there are no blood vessels there, medical microneedling may be performed down to the sclera (between 0.5-2.0 mm thickness). This makes it possible to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, particularly in medical treatment.

Microneedling injures the structure of our skin. Since pigments are a natural way of protecting the skin from the sun, it is important that we “get ahead” of our skin. Wearing high UV protection should be applied regardless of the weather to avoid the formation of pigments. A little expert tip: The darker our genetic skin type, the higher the probability of pigments. Protect your skin and apply your SPF more often a day if necessary, e.g. in summer!

- Stop taking blood thinning and anticoagulant medications temporarily at least one week before treatment.
- Avoid tanning beds and sunbathing
- Avoid aggressive exfoliating products.

- Use SPF 50+ daily to prevent pigmentation and skin damage
- As already explained in your treatment, do a gentle double cleansing in the evening. In the morning, you can clean your face with lukewarm water. Make sure not to rub and only dab the face. For aftercare, you can use soothing care and ceramides.
- If possible, avoid applying makeup for the next 72 hours, but for at least 24 hours, to avoid irritation on your skin. You can use lipstick and mascara without hesitation.
- Avoid sweaty sports for the next 48-72 hours Light activities, such as relaxing stretching, are okay.
- Avoid sharp changes in temperature and external heat over the next 48-72 hours to minimize the risk of infection (e.g. don't go to the sauna and don't shower too hot).
- Avoid drinking alcohol for the next 48-72 hours
- Avoid intensive exfoliations, sunbaths, and pool visits for the next 48-72 hours

Of course. Before each treatment, we discuss your wishes and analyse your initial situation.
