How we treat our skin in the period following microneedling has perhaps more impact on our outcomes than the microneedling itself!!
The first 5 days are the most important for healing and support. Skin cells regenerate faster at night than during the day. During sleep, your skin's blood flow increases, and the organ rebuilds its collagen and repairs damage from UV exposure, reducing wrinkles and age spots. This is literally renewal and rejuvenation during sleep…
Post Microneedling - Your Monthly Skincare Routine
Days 1-5 Don’t skimp on Skin-Care

Rise or Cleanse SOOTHE GENTLE CREAM WASH
Green Tea TONER
Optional: Red LED*
Apply a thin layer of Skin Script Rx 15% Vitamin C Green Tea Serum to the face, neck, and chest. Allow it to penetrate the skin completely before applying a moisturizer.

Skin Script Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum
That's all!!
A Red LED treatment pairs well with microneedling, it can reduce erythema (redness) and inflammation. Red LED (633nm) enhances keratinocyte proliferation (translation-plumb skin) and near infra-red LED (700-830) amplifies collagen and elastin formation. Do not place any device directly on your skin.

PM-ACTIVE SERUM
AGE-DEFYING, CLEARING, BRIGHTENING
Fast-acting, long-term, results-oriented formula decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, visibly evens skin tone, and is excellent for blemish-prone skin. Touted by physicians as “remarkable” and “phenomenal,” ACTIVE SERUM usually produces results within a couple of days. Excellent for all skin types and for all ages, this powerful botanical serum leaves the skin moist and smooth.
To apply iS Clinical Active Serum, begin by cleansing and toning your face. ... It's easy to smooth the product over your face and neck since it is water based, but once it's touched your skin, it has a slightly tacky feeling for a small amount of time. I chose to use the serum twice a day, both morning and night.
Arbutin & Mushroom Extract: Assists in minimizing the appearance of uneven skin tone while brightening the overall complexion
White Willow Bark Extract: Exfoliates the skin and deep-cleanses pores
Bilberry Extract: A natural exfoliant with moisturizing properties
Sugarcane Extract: Gently exfoliates the skin for a renewed complexion
