Standard Microneedling

What is microneedling and how does it work? Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body’s healing process. This boosts collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, firmness, and reducing imperfections.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Use iS Clinical Brightening Complex daily in the AM for 2 weeks prior OR as directed by your Simply Serene Provider. This helps suppress pigment and balances skin tone pre-resurfacing.

 

  • Discontinue all retinoids, acids, exfoliants, and active products at least 7 days before treatment.

 

  • Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment, as it can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising. 

  • No sun exposure or tanning (beds, sprays or self-tanner) for 2 weeks before treatment.

 

  • No active breakouts or open wounds in the treatment area. If present, your provider will determine if it’s appropriate to proceed.

 

  • A minimum of 2 weeks must pass after any cosmetic treatments in the area (e.g., Facial & Body waxing, Botox, Filler, Chemical Peels) before receiving this procedure.
  • Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores—an antiviral medication may be recommended.

  • Stay well-hydrated and arrive at your appointment with clean, product-free skin.

What to Expect

  • It’s normal for your skin to feel warm, tight, or sunburned for up to 3 days after treatment. Redness, dryness, flaking, and mild swelling are expected as part of the natural healing process. Your skin may feel rough or have a “sandpaper” or grid-like texture, with tiny scabs that shed naturally within 3–5 days — no picking, peeling or exfoliating shedding skin.
    ** Most people can resume normal routines within 24 hours.

 

  • Does it hurt?! We strive for comfort with all our procedures at Simply Serene. A topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes beforehand. Most clients report mild to moderate discomfort. Most describe it as a mild scratching or pressure sensation.

  • Results are gradual and build over 4–6 weeks as new collagen and elastin is stimulated.

 

  • The number of treatment sessions will depend on your skin goals. A minimum series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended.

Post-Treatment Care

  • This is where your results are built- be gentle, consistent, and protect your skin


    • Use the iS Clinical Pure Care Collection Kit for the first 7 days. These products are specifically formulated to support post-laser skin.
      • Step 1: Cleanse
        Gently cleanse with Cleansing Complex using cool water. Pat dry with a clean, soft towel. Use morning and evening.
      • Step 2: Soothe
        Apply Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ to calm inflammation and provide powerful antioxidant protection. Use 3–5 drops once daily, or as directed.
      • Step 3: Hydrate
        Apply Hydra-Cool Serum to hydrate and comfort the skin. This can be used morning and evening and layered under moisturizer.
      • Step 4: Moisturize
        Follow with Sheald Recovery Balm to deeply nourish and support the skin barrier. Reapply throughout the day as needed for dryness or tightness. **note – this may initially burn on first application following procedure and is normal and will resolve quickly after application. 
      • Step 5: Protect
        In the daytime, finish with Eclipse SPF 50+ for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Apply generously and reapply as needed.

    • Avoid anti-inflammatories such as NSAIDs (ibuprophen, naproxen, aspirin) for 5 days because these medications interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is crucial for skin healing and rejuvenation. Additionally, NSAIDs thin the blood, potentially increasing risk of bleeding or bruising after the procedure.

    • Allow tiny scabs naturally flake off naturally — no picking, peeling or exfoliating shedding skin.

    • Avoid hot showers, sweating, and saunas for at least 48 hours.

    • Discontinue all retinoids, acids, exfoliants, and active products at least 7 days post treatment or as directed by your provider.

    • Absolutely no sun exposure while your skin is healing—SPF 30+ daily is required and must be reapplied when exposed.

    • Redness and sensitivity may persist for several days—Recommended comfort measures:
      • Cold Compresses (wrapped, never direct ice) can be used 5-10 minutes 3-4 times daily.
      • Vinegar Soak (cleanses skin, reduces bacteria and promotes healing)
        • Mix 1 tablespoon of white distilled vinegar with 1 cup of cool distilled/bottle water
        • Soak clean, soft gauze or washcloth in solution and gently place on treated area for 10-15minutes
        • 2-3 times daily – especially the first few days post treatment.

    • Makeup can typically be resumed after 24 hours, use clean brushes/tools only.

What to Expect

  • Standard Microneedling delivers results – but only if paired with proper at-home care

    • Your home routine is just as important as your in-office treatment. We all this the 80/20 rule. 80% of your results reflect what is done daily at home while 20% is the treatment itself. Stick to clinical-grade skincare to prolong and enhance your results. 

    • Simply Serene’s Personalized Post-Care Recommendation – Curated to Maximize Your Glow

    • Immediate post-care: 
      • Pure Care Kit 
    • After 5 days, transition to: 
      • Cleansing Complex, Pro-Heal/GenExC/Super Serum, Reparative Moisture Emulsion, Retinol (0.1 or 1.0), Extreme Protect SPF.

    • Discuss a personalized product plan to support skin remodeling, brightening, and hydration.

      • A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal outcomes.

    • Can I combine this with other treatments?

    Absolutely—with a plan! Ask your provider about adding other services such as botox, filler and facials to enhance your results.
