MICRONEEDLING FOR SMOOTHER-LOOKING, REFINED SKIN

Intended Use & Treatment Suitability

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses controlled, fine-needle skin penetration to support the skin's natural renewal response and improve the appearance of certain textural concerns. Treatment suitability depends on individual skin characteristics, medical history, treatment area, and the specific procedure being performed. Not every client or skin condition is appropriate for microneedling, and treatment depth, technique, and any accompanying products are selected according to applicable professional assessment and treatment protocols.

Contraindications & Precautions

Certain medical conditions, medications, allergies, active skin infections, open wounds, inflammatory skin conditions, recent sunburn or tanning, impaired wound healing, history of abnormal scarring or keloids, recent cosmetic procedures, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or other individual factors may affect treatment eligibility or require postponement or modification. Clients must disclose relevant medical history, medications, allergies, skincare products, recent aesthetic procedures, and changes in their skin condition before treatment. Additional precautions may apply depending on the treatment area, technique, and products used.

Potential Side Effects & Complications

Common reactions following microneedling may include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, tightness, dryness, sensitivity, pinpoint bleeding, mild bruising, or flaking during recovery. Some clients may experience temporary skin irritation or breakouts.

Less common complications may include infection, prolonged inflammation, allergic or irritant reactions, pigmentation changes (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation), scarring, or other procedure-specific adverse effects. Reactions to topical products used during or after treatment may also occur.

The nature, severity, and duration of side effects and complications can vary, ranging from mild and temporary to more significant or potentially lasting effects. Not all risks apply to every treatment, and individual responses may differ.

Good Faith Exam (GFE) & Medical Evaluation

An appropriate medical evaluation, including a Good Faith Exam (GFE), must be completed before treatment when applicable under Texas law and SVIT Aesthetics' clinical protocols. Medical screening requirements depend on the specific microneedling procedure, treatment depth, products used, and individual circumstances. All required evaluations must be completed before the applicable treatment.

Client Intake & Medical History

First-time clients are requested to complete SVIT Aesthetics' New Client Intake Form before their initial appointment. Accurate and complete disclosure of medical history, medications, allergies, previous skin treatments, relevant skin conditions, and other requested information is important for appropriate treatment screening. Clients should promptly inform SVIT Aesthetics of any relevant changes before subsequent treatments.

Informed Consent & Treatment Documentation

Applicable treatment-specific consent forms and required documentation must be completed before treatment. Consent forms may address the nature of the procedure, potential risks, contraindications, alternatives, and expected responses.

By voluntarily signing the applicable consent form, the client acknowledges the information provided, confirms their decision to proceed with the selected treatment, and voluntarily authorizes SVIT Aesthetics and its authorized providers to perform the agreed-upon procedure. Clients have the right to ask questions and decline or withdraw consent before treatment. Additional documentation or updated consent may be required depending on the procedure and individual circumstances.

Pre- & Post-Treatment Care

Clients are expected to follow applicable pre- and post-treatment instructions, including recommendations regarding skincare products, sun exposure, hygiene, makeup, and activities during recovery. Instructions may be provided verbally and/or in writing depending on the procedure.

Failure to follow recommended precautions may increase the likelihood of irritation, infection, pigmentation changes, or other adverse reactions and may affect treatment outcomes. 

Results & Treatment Expectations

Individual results vary depending on skin characteristics, treatment depth, technique, cosmetic concerns, lifestyle factors, and adherence to recommended care. Multiple sessions or maintenance treatments may be appropriate, and visible changes may develop gradually. No specific degree of improvement, number of sessions, duration of results, or absence of complications is guaranteed.
