Frequently Asked Questions
- Please eat a small meal prior to your appointment and drink plenty of water.
- Ensure your skin is in a calm state. You should avoid exfoliating in the days leading up to the treatment. If you use acne medications, you may need to discontinue use for several weeks to months before microneedling.
- You should also avoid topical retinoids and antibiotics for at least a week before your appointment. Don’t take any over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen,Advil, Aleve or Aspirin which can interfere with proper healing.
- Be sure to wear sunscreen on your face during the two weeks before your
appointment. Avoid shaving, waxing, or using any hair removal products on your skin during the week before your treatment. - We encourage you to arrive 30 minutes before your procedure time for the numbing part.
One of our staff will usher you into a room and cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser. Afterwards, she will apply your skin with a topical numbing agent. This will help reduce any discomfort you might feel during microneedling. During this time, they will prepare to take a sample of your blood for the PRP. They will place your blood in a centrifuge to separate the blood. Your Platelet Rich Plasma will be placed in small syringes for use during the procedure. This will take about 30 to 40 minutes. Afterwards, the numbing cream will be wiped off using alcohol to reduce the risk of infection.
Solei Clinic utilizes an FDA approved SKin Pen Microneedling device for the procedure. The microneedling device is moved over the surface of your skin in several directions. The depth of the needles can be adjusted during treatment, so they penetrate more
deeply into thicker areas of the skin and are gentler on the thinner parts. As the microneedling device is moved over the surface of the skin, the PRP will be applied during and after the procedure.
After the procedure, allow the PRP to dry on your skin without washing it off or applying anything on top of it for at least 4 to 6 hours. It is much better if you leave the PRP overnight.
For optimal results, strenuous activity should be avoided for the first 48 hours post treatment to avoid high spikes in blood pressure or heart rate. Specific medications to avoid are Ibuprofen, Naproxen and Aspirin.
