Advanced Skin Restoration

Microneedling is one of the most effective collagen-inducing therapies in medical aesthetics. While topical skincare mostly acts at the surface level, microneedling works deep within the dermis—where wrinkles form, acne scars develop, and collagen declines with age.

By creating controlled micro-channels, microneedling activates the body’s three-phase healing cascade: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This results in true skin regeneration, not a temporary surface effect.

Comprehensive Benefits of Microneedling with DP4

• Smoother, more refined skin texture
• Firmer and more lifted appearance
• Reduction of fine lines and early wrinkles
• Brighter, more even skin tone
• Noticeable reduction in pore size
• Softening of acne and surgical scars

Using the prescribed home-care products is essential for proper healing and for achieving the full benefit of your microneedling treatment.

Why Proper Post-Care Matters

• Enhances collagen and elastin remodeling
• Reduces redness, irritation, and downtime
• Supports barrier recovery and strengthens the skin
• Protects against environmental stressors
• Prevents delayed irritation or pigmentation
• Ensures long-term results are maximized

Only DP Dermaceuticals products should be used for the first 10 days following treatment, as traditional skincare is not safe for freshly needled skin.

• Infusion-safe, sterile-grade formulations
• Designed specifically for microneedling procedures
• Clinically proven ingredients for hydration, healing, and rejuvenation
• Clinically designed to support your specific and prescribed treatment goals
• Free of fragrances, dyes, essential oils, and harsh irritants
• Supports rapid recovery during the first 72 hours

Microneedling causes micro trauma to the skin, therefore it is important to provide the optimal environment for healing especially within the first 3-4 days post treatment. 

It is normal to experience 36–48 hours of mild–moderate redness like a sunburn. Minor itching, hives, flaking, or redness may also occur. 

Important Do Nots (First 24–48 Hours)

• Do NOT wash the treated area or apply water for 24 hours.

• Do NOT pick, scratch, rub, or squeeze the skin.

Avoid for 48 Hours:

• Direct sun exposure (sunlight & tanning beds)

• Cardio/exercise/sweating

• Hot showers, baths, saunas, or spas

• All other aesthetic treatments (lasers, peels, microderm, injectables, etc.)

• Spray tans or self-tanning

• Swimming (chlorine or ocean water)

• Tattooing/cosmetic tattooing

Use only Dp Dermaceuticals post-care protocol as prescribed for next 10 dayspost treatment. Products include:

• Cleanser

• Serum

• Correct/Moisturizer

• Protection: COVER RECOVER (SPF30/PA+++ — reapply 2–3× daily)

Avoid These Ingredients for 5 Days

• Mechanical exfoliants/scrubs

• AHAs (glycolic, lactic, malic acids), BHA (salicylic acid)

• Benzoyl peroxide

• Retinoids (retinol, tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene)

• Hydroquinone or bleaching agents• Alcohol-based products (isopropyl, denatured, rubbing alcohol)

Mild redness and sensitivity typically resolve within 1-3 days.

Healing time varies depending on skin condition and treatment depth.

Treatment protocols typically include 4 sessions to reach optimal results. Most clients benefit from 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

To ensure your skin responds beautifully to microneedling and heals optimally, planning your treatment around upcoming events, travel, and other cosmetic services is essential. Proper timing not only maximizes results, it also protects your skin barrier and ensures a smooth, radiant outcome.

Travel Considerations
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that require a calm, clean environment for the first several days.
For this reason:

• Avoid flying or traveling for at least 48–72 hours after treatment, as airplane air, sun exposure, and inconsistent skincare conditions may irritate the healing skin.
• If traveling to a sunny or humid climate, aim to schedule microneedling 1–2 weeks before your trip to allow the skin to fully settle.

Skincare Products to Discontinue
To maintain the integrity of your skin barrier and prevent irritation:

• Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating scrubs, tretinoin, or any aggressive actives 7 days prior to microneedling.
• Avoid starting any new skincare products within that week.

Post-treatment, only use the recommended DP Dermaceuticals products for the first10 days post treatment to support healing, collagen renewal, and optimal results.

Alcohol Intake
Alcohol can increase inflammation, prolong redness, and heighten your risk of bruising.

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session and 24 hours after to support the healing cascade and reduce unwanted side effects.

Microneedling & Botox Timing
Both treatments pair beautifully together but require correct sequencing:

If scheduling both:

• It’s best to perform microneedling first, then Botox 7–10 days after, once the skin is healed.
• If you recently had Botox: Wait at least 2 weeks to 21 days before receiving microneedling to avoid disrupting freshly placed toxin.

This ensures both treatments work synergistically without interfering with each other.
