Microneedling

To ensure you get the most luxurious and effective experience, please take these steps in preparation:

1. Pause active skincare: Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, and topical antibiotics 5–7 days prior to treatment to reduce irritation and support optimal healing.

2. Support natural healing: Please tell us about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medications and supplements you are taking. Do not stop or change any medication without speaking with the healthcare professional who prescribed or recommended it. We will advise if medical clearance is required before treatment.

3. Protect your skin: Avoid sun exposure, tanning, IPL, or laser treatments for two weeks prior to your session.

4. Prepare the treatment area: Avoid waxing or hair removal creams 5–7 days before treatment. If shaving is needed, do so the day before, not the day of.

5. Plan ahead for cold sores: If you have a history of cold sores or herpes outbreaks, please tell us before booking. Preventative antiviral medication may be recommended by your healthcare provider before certain treatments.

6. Time injectable treatments appropriately: Treatments can be performed 2 weeks after Botox or fillers. We suggest a 2-week window for full healing from any invasive skin procedure before starting these treatments.

7. Share your health history: Let us know about any changes to your health.

Now it’s time to pamper your skin as it recovers and reveals its radiance. Follow these steps to empower your results.

1. Let your skin do the work: Please tell us about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medications and supplements you are taking. Do not stop or change any medication without speaking with the healthcare professional who prescribed or recommended it. We will advise if medical clearance is required before treatment.

2. Use gentle care: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser the next day and keep skin well hydrated. Only mineral makeup should be used after 24 hours. Resume exfoliation and active skincare only after redness, sensitivity and flaking have fully resolved and your BUB provider has advised that it is appropriate.

3. Post-Care products: Every client receives a 7-day Epicutis Post-Procedure Kit and Mask, which can be either used immediately after treatment or taken home. We recommend purchasing an additional mask for the next day.

4. Keep you skin hydrated: Use only the post-treatment products recommended by your BUB provider, in the amount and frequency directed. Avoid introducing new or active products while your skin is healing.

5. Protect your results: Avoid direct sun exposure. Apply a BUB-approved mineral SPF as directed by your provider on treatment day and daily afterward.

6. Support comfort: It may feel like a mild sunburn. Only if necessary we suggest managing with acetaminophen.

7. Avoid heat and sweat: Skip intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for 48 hours post-treatment.

8. Keep everything clean: Avoid touching your face. Be sure to use a new pillowcase, wash makeup brushes, phones, glasses, and anything that touches your face. And don’t let your pets lick your face,

9. Stay in touch: Contact us if you experience blistering, excessive redness, swelling, or prolonged discomfort. We will guide you on next steps and skincare reintroduction.

Days 1–3: Redness, tightness, and a sunburn-like sensation are common. Mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within several days.

Days 2–7: Light peeling or flaking may begin as skin turnover increases. Allow skin to shed naturally and avoid picking or scrubbing.

Days 5–7 and beyond: Once irritation has fully resolved, you may gradually return to your regular skincare routine. Continued improvements in texture, tone, and firmness will develop over the following weeks and months.

Yes. Microneedling is a minimally invasive, well-studied procedure when performed by trained professionals. The DP4™ system allows for controlled depth and precision, making it safe for most skin types and tones.

Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate. Numbing is optional and can be applied, but it is not used for everyone.

A series is generally recommended. The exact number and timing of treatments will depend on your skin, goals and personalized treatment plan.

Many clients notice improved hydration and glow within the first week. Collagen production builds gradually, with more visible improvements appearing over 4–6 weeks and continuing for several months.

Downtime is minimal. Redness and sensitivity are expected for a few days, followed by light peeling as the skin renews itself.
