Thank you for choosing The Palm Medspa + Wellness for your treatment. To help you achieve the best results and minimize risks, we’ve outlined important pre-care and post-care instructions for Sylfirm X or Morpheus8 RF Microneedling treatments.
Every treatment is unique, and your provider may give you additional personalized recommendations. Please review the guidelines carefully before and after your appointment. Following these instructions will:
Enhance the effectiveness of your treatment
Support your body’s natural healing process
Reduce the likelihood of complications or side effects
If you have any questions before or after your treatment, or if you experience anything unexpected, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities.
Following the steps below prior to your treatment will help you achieve optimal results and minimize side effects.
2 weeks prior to your appointment
Avoid direct sun exposure and make sure to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 45 or higher daily. Sun-exposed skin is more sensitive and prone to irritation, redness, or pigmentation issues during microneedling.
Do not apply self-tanner, as it can interfere with treatment and may increase the risk of uneven results.
1 week prior to your appointment
Discontinue the use of exfoliants and retinoids at least one week prior. These products accelerate skin cell turnover and can make your skin more sensitive, increasing the risk of irritation or discomfort during the procedure. Allowing your skin to calm ensures the treatment is safe and effective.
72 hours prior to your appointment
Stop taking ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil three days prior to your treatment. These medications can thin the blood and increase the likelihood of bruising or swelling.
Day of Appointment
Arrive with fresh, clean skin free of makeup or heavy skincare products.
Staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment helps your skin respond better and recover more quickly.
Proper aftercare is essential to maximize your results, reduce the risk of side effects, and help your skin heal safely after RF Microneedling.
For 24 hours after your appointment
Refrain from applying makeup to allow your skin to recover and prevent potential irritation or infection.
For 48 hours after your appointment
Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as strenuous exercise or saunas, as this can increase inflammation.
Avoid the sun. Protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum SPF 45 or higher, and reapply every two hours when outdoors.
For 1 week after your appointment
Avoid using products containing vitamin C, retinoids, acids, or exfoliants. These active ingredients can irritate sensitive skin and may interfere with the healing process.
For 4 week after your appointment
Do not apply self-tanner to the treated area, as your skin is still sensitive and may develop uneven coloration.
General Upkeep
Mild discomfort, redness, or swelling is normal. Apply a cool, covered compress to the treated area for up to 15 minutes at a time to soothe the skin.
Keep your skin clean, dry, and well-hydrated by using a gentle cleanser with tepid water and following with moisturizing products.
Avoid touching, rubbing, or picking at the treated area to prevent infection, irritation, or scarring.
