Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment

To maximize the benefits of your Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment and avoid unnecessary irritation, please follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. This includes avoiding tanning beds and sunbathing to prevent any damage or irritation to your skin.
• No Retinoids or Exfoliants: Discontinue the use of retinoids, topical antibiotics, hydroquinone, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and other exfoliating products 5-7 days before your session to reduce skin sensitivity.
• Skip Anti-Inflammatories: Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or aspirin 3-5 days prior to your appointment, as they may increase the risk of bruising.
• Hydrate Your Skin: Make sure your skin is properly hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment. Use gentle, moisturizing skincare products.
• Avoid Waxing or Laser Treatments: Do not undergo waxing, laser treatments, or chemical peels on the treatment area for 2 weeks before your Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment session.
• Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Refrain from alcohol consumption and smoking for 24-48 hours before your session to avoid increased sensitivity and the chance of bruising.

Important Dates:
Please note that Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment is not available from June 15 through September 15 each year. This is to ensure we avoid treating sun-damaged skin and prioritize your safety during the procedure. 

Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment appointments are quick and won’t take much of your day. Your 1-hour Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment session is designed to be both relaxing and rejuvenating. Here’s what you can expect during the treatment:

1. Double Cleanse: We begin with a thorough double cleanse to remove impurities and ensure a clean canvas for the treatment.
2. Skin Analysis: A skin analysis is conducted to assess your skin’s unique needs and tailor the treatment accordingly.
3. Numbing Cream Application: To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin.
4. Condition-Specific Serum: A serum tailored to your specific skin concerns is applied to maximize the results.
5. Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment: Microneedles are carefully applied to form channels along the skin, initiating the body's healing response.
6. Aftercare with AnteAGE Kit: To aid in the healing process and enhance your results. This includes powerful ingredients like stem cell growth factors, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, all of which support the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation.

The treatment ends with a hydrating and nourishing application to lock in moisture and ensure your skin is left feeling soft and refreshed.

To ensure optimal results and proper healing after your Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment, follow these aftercare guidelines:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure:
   Your skin will be more sensitive after Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment, so it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours. If you need to be outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and wear protective clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat.
2. Skip Makeup for 24 Hours:
   Avoid applying makeup, especially foundation and powders, for 24 hours after the treatment to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
3. Use a Gentle Cleanser:
   For the first 48 hours, use a mild, gentle cleanser to wash your face. Avoid scrubbing or using any harsh skincare products.
4. Moisturize:
   Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. This helps support the healing process and keeps your skin from becoming too dry.
5. Avoid Retinoids and Exfoliants:
   Refrain from using products that contain retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or other exfoliating agents for at least 5-7 days after your treatment. These can irritate the skin while it is healing.
6. No Sweating or Intense Exercise:
   Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as vigorous exercise, saunas, or hot yoga, for 48 hours. Sweat can introduce bacteria to your skin and irritate it during the healing process.
7. Avoid Touching Your Face:
   Try not to touch your face unnecessarily after the procedure, as this can transfer bacteria and increase the risk of infection.
8. Skip Alcohol and Smoking:
   Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24-48 hours post-treatment, as these can slow down the healing process and potentially increase the chance of bruising.
9. No Harsh Treatments:
   For 2 weeks after Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment, avoid any additional skin treatments, such as laser therapy, waxing, or chemical peels, to prevent irritation or injury to the skin.
10. Redness and Sensitivity:
    It’s normal to experience mild redness and sensitivity for the first 24-48 hours after Collagen Boost Microneedling Treatment. This should subside on its own, leaving your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated.
11. Aftercare Products:
    Use the AnteAGE Travel Kit, which includes stem cell growth factors, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E to help nourish and accelerate the healing process.
