One to two weeks before microneedling treatment, we at LC Aesthetics advise to avoid sun exposure or sunburn, IPL, laser hair removal or electrolysis, waxing, threading or use of any type of depilatory creams. It is also advised not to shave the day before treatment.

The procedure isn’t very painful how people think it is but it can be uncomfortable for some people with lower pain treshold. There are ways to minimize discomfort.

Some redness or mild irritation can appear in the first few days but that’s just the skin recovering.
