​

You should avoid getting henna / Tinting for a few weeks after microneedling because the SKIN is sensitive, and chemical treatments can damage new hair. You should also avoid other chemical treatments like hair coloring and perming. 

Explanation

After microneedling, your skin is more sensitive and needs time to heal. Chemical treatments can irritate the skin and slow down the healing process. 

Other aftercare tips

• Avoid wearing makeup, cleansers, toners, and exfoliants for at least 24–48 hours 

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 48 hours 

• Avoid strenuous activity, saunas, and hot showers for at least 48 hours 

• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean for at least 48 hours 

• Avoid products that contain retinol, glycolic or salicylic acids, benzoyl peroxide, bleaching creams, or hydroquinone 

• Avoid plucking or waxing the area for at least one week 

• Avoid using bleach or "Nair"-type products for at least two weeks 

• Sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling

• ** You should wait at least two weeks for henna / tinting brows. Microneedling and other intense facial treatments can make the skin more sensitive, increasing the risk of henna irritation. Note: Intense facial treatments include chemical peels, facials with active ingredients, etc. Clients are responsible for reading all contraindications and disclosing any allergens to products or having previous treatments.
