Medical Needling SKIN PREPARATION - CLINIC Remove make up (if applicable) Cleanse the skin twice with Environ Neutralizing Cleanser, remove with sponges / compress Wipe the skin with Medical Alcohol (using cotton wool) Apply Neutralizing Cleanser in a thick layer for 2 minutes and wash off Apply topical anesthetic with a brush; make sure that you cover the full area and extend the application further than the area being treated. (favored Benzocaine 20%, Lidocaine 6%, Tetracaine 6% in a Lipoderm base, or Emla) A dental block for the upper lip may be necessary in some patients. Cover with cling wrap and leave for 35 50 min: if doing the neck, start needling after 30-35 min as this area takes very well to the anesthetic. However, wait longer if the skin is still sensitive. PROCEDURE Remove the anesthetic from the skin surface one section at a time with sterile gauze Needle the selected area and work on each area for as long as the patient finds comfortable. Then move to an adjacent area. It should take about 30-40 minutes to needle the whole face properly. Allow blood to dry and oozing to stop (There is no definite proven way to treat the skin while needling. It could be argued that while needling, don t wipe away the blood immediately because the blood will contain platelet-derived growth factors and this may be re-absorbed into the skin and help promote higher levels of growth factors. There is no absolute evidence that this is of value. It does not seem to have a negative effect. These growth factors play a significant role in repair and regeneration of connective tissue.) Spritz the skin with sterile water once blood has dried and wipe off all the blood with sterile gauze soaked in sterile water Wash the skin with Environ Sebuwash, remove with sterile gauze (If wash-up area is available, it is advisable for the patient to rinse his / her own skin to make the rinsing process easier) Apply ACM1 in a thin layer for four minutes only Remove with clean water Wash off with Environ Sebuwash, make sure the skin is properly rinsed Apply Après-CIT in a thin layer to the whole needled area and allow to dry.
