Dermapen 4

When you come to Kaya Cosmedica for your treatment, we will begin by cleansing and sterilising your skin. The needle depth and speed will be adjusted to the appropriate levels for your condition, then start the needling process. Once the treatment is completed your skin is cleansed and you have the option of adding a hydrating mask.

Immediately after the treatment your skin will be quite warm, tight and red. These side effects are normal and will subside within 2-5 days.

Immediately following your treatment:

• For the first 12 hours following treatment, avoid heat or sweating, and exercise.
• For the first 48 hours, avoid sun exposure, saunas, spas or chlorinated pools.
• Limit stimulants like coffee and alcohol where possible, and avoid hot showers or friction to the face such as abrasive towels.

For the next 7 days post treatment:

• Full sunscreen protection is recommended with a broad spectrum SPF 50, sun avoidance, hat and sunglasses.
• Cleanse the skin with a general cleanser
• Avoid actives (hydroxy acids, retinoids, Vitamin C)
• Once all signs of inflammation have subsided (typically 5 – 7 days post treatment) resume a normal skincare regime.
• Flaking may occur at 3-5 days – do not pick, scratch or abrade the skin in the treated area. This will impact your results.
• Avoid facial waxing and shaving
