The goal is to prevent TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Your job is to flood skin with hydration first, then seal it in.  However, more products do not equal better results—healing correctly does. DIY CATEGORIES 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. PROTECT YOUR RESULTS 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. AFTERCARE KITS What's Included The categories of products that make up a complete recovery system. What You Need ● Hydration Products Replenish and soothe — HA serums, lightweight essences applied immediately post-treatment ● Barrier Repair Products Strengthen and protect — ceramide creams, gentle moisturizers to seal healing skin ● Growth Factor Support Collagen and healing — PDRN, exosomes, and stem cell serums to accelerate repair ● SPF Protection Prevent and protect — broad-spectrum SPF 50+ worn daily throughout recovery and beyond 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 PRINCIPLES 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.

A must-have for responsible at-home microneedling practice. COMMON QUESTION When can makeup safely be applied? For THE SKIN DEEP METHOD™, foundation should only be applied once the skin has had enough time to begin restoring its protective barrier. Here's a simple guideline for each level: A simple rule to remember: Level 1: 24 hours Level 2: 48 hours Level 3: 48–72 hours Level 4: 72+ hours If the skin is still pink, sensitive, warm, or actively peeling, wait another day before applying foundation, regardless of the level. For the first application after treatment, choose a clean, non-comedogenic mineral or sensitive-skin foundation and apply it with clean brushes or a freshly washed makeup sponge to minimize the risk of irritation or contamination.

LEVEL 4 → REPAIR: RESULTS = Improved Scar + Stretch Marks DIY CATEGORIES Microneedling Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 THE SKIN DEEP METHOD ™ 🛠️ Your LEVEL 4 → REPAIR ROUTINE You need deeper, targeted microneedling focused on true collagen remodeling—not surface-level treatments.

At Level 4 the 12-pin returns — not for depth alone, but for precision. Acne scars and stretch marks involve fibrotic tissue that must be mechanically disrupted. The 12-pin's concentrated needles penetrate scar tissue deeply and precisely. The 36-pin cannot achieve the depth or concentration required to remodel fibrotic collagen. Different tool, different job. Why GF11 or Stayve PDRN Exosome? The goal at Level 4 isn't just stimulating collagen — it's breaking down disorganized fibrotic collagen in scar tissue and replacing it with organized new collagen. GF11 provides intensive growth factor signaling for deep remodeling. Stayve PDRN Exosome combines cellular repair with exosome technology specifically for scar remodeling. The same serum used in treatment continues into aftercare — extending the biological signal during the open healing window. Why up to 2.0 mm? Acne scars, deep wrinkles, and stretch marks exist in the reticular dermis — the deeper structural layer. Reaching it requires 1.5–2.0 mm depending on the area. Depth is not increased uniformly: delicate areas like the eyes and nose stay at 0.25–0.5 mm. The increase is targeted only where scar or repair tissue exists. Why every 4–6 weeks? Scar tissue and stretch marks require collagen remodeling — breaking down disorganized fibers and replacing them with new, structured ones. That process takes longer than standard collagen induction. The 4–6 week minimum isn't optional at Level 4. It's not waiting time. It's when the actual repair is happening beneath the surface. Every decision in this protocol has a specific biological reason. Here's why Level 4 is built the way it is. Cartridge: 12-Pin Beginner Max Depth: 1.5 mm Advanced Max Depth: 2.0 mm Acne Scars: 1.5–2.0 mm spot treatment Forehead: 0.5–0.75 mm Around Eyes: 0.25–0.5 mm Nose: 0.25–0.5 mm Cheeks: 1.0–2.0 mm Around Lips: 0.25–0.5 mm Chin: 1.0–1.5 mm Stretch Marks: 1.5–2.0 mm Speed: 5 3 controlled passes per area - vertical, horizontal, diagonal or circular Stop if skin becomes overly red or irritated Every 4–6 weeks *Fitzpatrick IV-VI users should consider more conservative depths due to increased PIH risk. Before Treatment Wash hands thoroughly Cleanse skin Disinfect treatment area Use sterile cartridge Tie hair back Apply numbing cream for deeper treatments Remove numbing completely Disinfect skin with 70% rubbing alcohol Dry skin Allow alcohol to fully evaporate before beginning treatment LEVEL 4 • REPAIR - Protocol During Treatment - Active First → Slip Second → Needle → Reapply Active Apply Active Serum Apply Slip - Stayve HA Work in sections: 1.

Do NOT drag the pen Lift pen between sections Add additional HA whenever glide decreases Pat remaining Active Serum onto skin afterward Endpoint You want: Pinkness / redness Mild to moderate erythema Even treatment response Tiny, isolated dots — not streaming, pooling, or anything covering more than a pinpoint is acceptable NOT: Excessive bleeding Scratching or tearing the skin Long drag marks Gray or overworked skin Severe inflammation Speed Settings Lower speeds: More control Better for beginners Better for delicate areas Higher speeds: Faster treatment More aggressive Better for thicker skin/scarring 💧 Glide Requirement (All Levels): Always use a hydrating slip serum to minimize friction and protect the skin barrier during microneedling.

The 12-pin delivers concentrated, focused penetration into the dermis — where fibroblasts live. Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Creating controlled micro-injuries at this depth triggers the wound-healing cascade: growth factors release, fibroblasts activate, and new organized collagen begins to form. Why PDRN, exosomes, or GF11? Now that needles are reaching the dermis, the serum has a different job. PDRN supports cellular repair and activates fibroblasts to enhance collagen synthesis. Exosomes amplify the skin's repair response. GF11 signals fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. These aren't generic serums — they're precision tools matched to what's happening in the skin. Why 0.25–1.0 mm? This range targets the papillary dermis without going deep enough to cause unnecessary trauma. Different face zones require different depths — delicate areas like the eyes and nose stay at 0.25 mm, while thicker areas like the cheeks handle 0.75–1.0 mm. Depth is mapped to anatomy, not applied uniformly. Why every 4–6 weeks? After a Level 2 session, your fibroblasts spend the next 4–6 weeks producing and organizing new collagen. The collagen cycle doesn't peak immediately — it continues long after the visible redness is gone. Treating again before that cycle finishes doesn't accelerate results. It interrupts them. Every decision in this protocol has a specific biological reason. Here's why Level 2 is built the way it is. Cartridge: 12-Pin Depth: 0.25 – 1.0 mm Forehead: 0.5 mm Around Eyes: 0.25 mm Nose: 0.25 mm Cheeks: 0.75 – 1.0 mm Around Lips: 0.25 mm Chin: 0.75 – 1.0mm Neck: 0.5 mm Speed: 4 3 controlled passes per area - vertical, horizontal, diagonal or circular Stop if skin becomes overly red or irritated Every 4–6 weeks *Fitzpatrick IV-VI users should consider more conservative depths due to increased PIH risk.
