AESTHETIX | RF Microneedling Care Tips
Be. The. Best. You.
Pre Treatment Instructions
RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen,
improve skin texture, and support firmer, smoother-looking skin. Following your pre- and post-
treatment instructions helps protect your skin and supports optimal healing.
Before Your Treatment
● Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for approximately 1–2
weeks before treatment.
● Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and arrive without a sunburn or significant skin
irritation.
● Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and other irritating skincare products for
approximately 3–5 days before treatment, unless otherwise directed.
● Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, or aggressive facial treatments in the treatment area for several days beforehand.
● Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, recent procedures, allergies,
pregnancy/breastfeeding, history of cold sores, poor wound healing, or active
skin conditions.
● Notify Aesthetix if you develop an active rash, infection, open wound, cold sore, or
significant breakout before your appointment.
● Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, oils, and self-tanner when possible.
Post Treatment Instructions
After Your Treatment
Mild to moderate redness, warmth, swelling, sensitivity, and a sunburn-like sensation are
common immediately following treatment. Depending on treatment intensity, mild dryness,
roughness, pinpoint crusting, or temporary darkening may also occur during healing.
● For the first 24 hours, keep your skincare simple and use only products recommended
by your Aesthetix provider.
● Avoid touching, rubbing, picking, or scratching the treated skin.
● Avoid makeup until the skin barrier has recovered—typically at least 24 hours or as
directed by your provider.
● Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and very
hot showers for approximately 24–48 hours.
● Avoid direct sun exposure and use a gentle, broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 once
appropriate for your skin.
● Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, benzoyl peroxide, and other potentially irritating
active products for approximately 5–7 days or until the skin has fully recovered.
● Use a gentle cleanser and recommended moisturizer to support the skin barrier.
● Do not pick at flaking, crusting, or rough areas—allow them to resolve naturally.
● Follow your provider’s instructions regarding when to restart your regular skincare
routine.
When to contact Aesthetix
Contact us promptly if you experience increasing rather than improving redness or swelling,
severe pain, blistering, drainage, signs of infection, significant skin discoloration, or any
reaction that concerns you.
Your results develop gradually. Collagen remodeling continues after your treatment, so
improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance may become more noticeable over the following weeks and months.
Advanced treatments. Personalized care. Naturally beautiful results.
