Microneedling 

THE SKIN DEEP METHOD™

The Recovery System

Your skin doesn't improve during the treatment — it improves during the healing phase. What you do in the 7 days after your session determines how much of your result you actually keep.

RECOVERY PROTOCOL

5-Phase Recovery Timeline

Follow this sequence after every level

PHASE 1

Hydrate
DAY 0
Treatment day — 
flood skin with hydration immediately after. HA serums only. No actives.

PHASE 2

Repair

DAY 1
Barrier repair begins — gentle cleanse with Cetaphil, layer hydrating serums, no exfoliants.

PHASE 3

Heal

DAY 2-4
Allow active healing — ceramides seal moisture, no retinol or vitamin C, minimal routine.

PHASE 4

Barrier

DAY 4-5
Rebuild the skin barrier — ceramide-rich products, SPF every day without exception.

PHASE 5

Resume

DAY 6-7
Return to normal routine gradually — introduce actives slowly, SPF remains non-negotiable.

Recommend For

This full recovery system is designed for:

LEVEL 2     LEVEL 3     LEVEL 4

Level 1 (no-needle infusion) has a simpler aftercare routine — the core products still apply but recovery is minimal. See the Level 1 checklist for simplified guidance.

The deeper the treatment, the longer the recovery phase you need to respect. Level 4 users should follow all 5 phases fully before returning to actives.

CORE PRINCIPALS

Aftercare Goals

Prevent TEWL
Transepidermal water loss is the enemy post-treatment. Seal hydration in immediately and keep barriers intact throughout recovery.

Hydration First

Flood the skin with hydration before anything else. HA serums go on before any other product — the needle channels are open and absorbing.

Less Is More

More products do not mean better results. A stripped-down, barrier-focused routine in the first 72 hours will always outperform a complicated one.

Optional Add-Ons

Not required, but loved. 

Gentle double-cleanse prep before any session — removes SPF and makeup without stripping barrier.

Tone-evening, pore-tightening serum for maintenance days between sessions.

Cover worn over numbing cream to prevent evaporation and improve absorption.

Use after your session to accelerate healing, reduce redness, and boost collagen synthesis. Pairs beautifully with every level.

Second-step cleanse, low pH, supports ceramide-intact skin before needling.

 Designed to support hydration, improve the appearance of elasticity, and promote a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion.

Draw up your serums and apply directly to skin during needling without waste.

Formulated for 40+ skin — richer barrier support and higher-concentration growth factors.

Attaches to your syringe to help dry up the serum

Use 3–5 days after needling once barrier is fully restored. Brightens and supports collagen synthesis.

Lightweight, centella-infused SPF for post-needle mornings when skin is still sensitive.

Safe disposal of used cartridges. A must-have for responsible at-home microneedling practice.
