STRETCH MARK TREATMENT PRE AND AFTERCARE
Pre-Treatment Care
To ensure your skin is in the best condition before your microneedling and mesotherapy session, please follow these guidelines:
1. One Week Before Treatment
-
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners to prevent skin irritation or sensitivity.
-
Discontinue use of Retinol, AHA/BHA acids, Vitamin C serums, or other exfoliating products.
-
Do not undergo any other skin treatments (laser, waxing, chemical peels) in the same area.
-
Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water to keep your skin nourished.
-
If you are prone to cold sores, please inform your practitioner (you may need antiviral medication).
2. On the Day of Treatment
-
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
-
Avoid applying body lotions, creams, or oils on the treatment area.
-
Eat a light meal beforehand and avoid caffeine or alcohol.
-
Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area
Microneedling and mesotherapy initiate a deep healing response in your skin. Following these steps ensures the best recovery and long-lasting results.
Immediately After Treatment (First 24–48 Hours)
-
Expect mild redness, sensitivity, and slight swelling — similar to mild sunburn.
-
Avoid touching the area unnecessarily to prevent infection.
-
Do not apply makeup, self-tanner, or fragranced products for 24–48 hours.
-
Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, or swimming during this period.
-
Keep the skin clean and use only the aftercare serum or soothing product recommended by your practitioner.
Next 3–5 Days
-
Your skin may feel slightly dry or tight as it heals — apply a gentle moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and always use SPF 30+ daily.
-
Do not exfoliate or pick at flaking skin. Allow it to shed naturally.
-
Continue drinking water and eating a balanced diet to support skin regeneration.
After 5 Days and Beyond
-
You can resume your regular skincare routine (including retinol and acids) once any redness or sensitivity has completely resolved.
-
Maintain results by using hydrating and collagen-boosting skincare products.
-
Avoid sun damage — consistent SPF use is essential.
-
Follow your recommended treatment plan (usually 3–6 sessions) for optimal improvement.
