At Soothe Luxury Skincare & Spa, we offer microneedling because it’s one of the most effective ways to stimulate natural collagen and improve skin texture. It helps restore your skin’s youthful vitality. But let’s be clear: microneedling is not “just a facial.”
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled skin injuries that trigger your body’s healing process. Your overall health, medications, and recent cosmetic treatments can significantly influence your results. At Soothe, we take honesty seriously.
Why Microneedling Requires Medical-Grade Precision
Microneedling works by creating thousands of micro-injuries in your skin. This stimulates collagen production. However, if your body isn’t ready to heal—due to an underlying illness, medication, or recent cosmetic procedures—the results can be compromised or harmful.
We are not aiming to scare you; we want to inform and protect you. A single microneedling session done incorrectly could lead to:
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Prolonged redness and irritation
- Bruising or pinpoint bleeding
- Delayed healing
- Granulomas (hard inflammatory lumps from trapped foreign substances)
- Infection
- Scarring
Imagine this: would you apply sunscreen or perfume to an open wound?
No?
Then why apply it directly after microneedling? After the procedure, your skin is temporarily permeable. Anything applied afterward must be clean, sterile, and non-toxic. This is why we never use toxic SPFs or generic products post-treatment. In fact, we avoid contaminating your skin with anything at all.
Why We Use Sterile Actives
Unlike many other clinics, we do not apply generic skincare products post-treatment. Doing so disrespects the integrity of the skin. It undermines the complex physiological processes taking place after microneedling. Your skin is in a vulnerable state, and we treat it with the respect it deserves.
We also do not use LED light therapy after microneedling. Why? Because inflammation is a part of the healing process that helps stimulate collagen production. Suppressing this with LED light may seem soothing, but it interrupts the healing response we strive to enhance. We trust the skin to heal and renew itself, supporting it through the recovery process without interference.
Choosing the Right Treatments
At Soothe, we use only microneedling-compatible, sterile actives created specifically for this purpose. This ensures your skin heals effectively, without compromising its integrity in the long term.
Tip: Always ask your therapist what they are applying to your skin and why. Use the Yukka App to check for toxins and evaluate product suitability for microneedling.
We thoroughly assess your health history before any microneedling treatment. It’s vital that you respond honestly. Here’s why:
- Blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen) increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
- Steroids and acne meds (such as Roaccutane) may delay wound healing and increase scarring risk.
- Immunosuppressants raise the risk of infection or poor results.
- Even a common cold can compromise your immune system and healing ability.
- Cold sores (herpes simplex) may be triggered by inflammation.
- Microneedling too soon after injectables can displace filler or intensify bruising.
- The safe window post-treatment is typically 2-3 weeks minimum.
We view microneedling as a collaboration between your skin and our expertise. Our protocols are guided by science, not social media trends.
What We Do Differently
We never:
- Rush your treatments
- Use generic skincare products after needling
- Ignore your health history
- Use LED to counteract the inflammation we have intentionally induced
And we always:
- Choose sterile, microneedling-safe actives
- Wait the appropriate time after Botox or fillers
- Adapt your treatment plan based on your health and medications
- Respect your skin’s natural healing timeline
