Preparing for Your Microneedling Appointment

Microneedling is a clinical skin treatment service provided by Kali Tocco, RPN, under appropriate medical direction. To help you prepare for your appointment and understand relevant pre-treatment considerations, please review the guidance below.

Consultation & Safety Review

A consultation is required before booking microneedling. During this visit, your nurse will:

• Explain what to expect before, during, and after your appointment

• Review potential risks and precautions

Before Your Appointment

​

General Preparation

• Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Eat a light meal prior to your visit to support comfort.

Medications & Supplements

• If you take medications or supplements that may affect bleeding or bruising, please discuss these with your nurse before treatment. Do not stop or change any prescribed medication unless instructed to do so by the healthcare professional who prescribed it.

Skin & Product Use

• Avoid chemical peels, waxing, laser treatments, abrasive exfoliation or other treatments that may irritate the treatment area before your appointment. If you have recently had another skin treatment, please let your nurse know so appropriate timing can be discussed.

• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or oils.

Lifestyle Factors

• Tobacco use or alcohol consumption should be discussed with your nurse, as these factors may be relevant to your care plan.

Day-Of Expectations

On the day of your appointment:

• Your nurse will reconfirm your health history and treatment plan

• The treatment area will be cleansed and prepared prior to treatment, and a sterile, single-use microneedling cartridge will be used.

• The procedure steps will be reviewed before treatment begins

Your comfort and understanding are priorities throughout the process.
