LEVEL 2 • STIMULATE - Protocol

💧 Glide Requirement (All Levels):

Always use a hydrating slip serum to minimize friction and protect the skin barrier during microneedling. Hyaluronic acid-based formulas are ideal—options like Stayve Medisco Hyaluronic Acid and Hyaron provide excellent glide and hydration support.

🚫 Avoid during microneedling:

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)

  • Retinoids

  • Acids (AHA/BHA/PHA)

  • Fragrance

  • Essential oils

LEVEL 2 • STIMULATE - Monthly Schedule

2_edited.png

​LEVEL 2: STIMULATE → 8-WEEK SCHEDULE

If following the 8-Week Microneedling Schedule it is recommended to pause

Vitamin C and Tretinoin during the treatment and recovery period.

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.

LEVEL 2 • STIMULATE - Aftercare

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.
