Before and after your appointment

Dr Azoo goes through this with you at your consultation. These points are a reminder, and he will adjust them to you.

Before your appointment

  • Tell Dr Azoo about your medicines, allergies, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwell.
  • Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for a few days beforehand, unless Dr Azoo has told you otherwise.
  • Tell him if you get cold sores, or if you have taken isotretinoin.
  • Come with a clean face and no make-up.
  • Eat beforehand. A topical anaesthetic is used.

Aftercare

  • Skin looks red, like mild sunburn, for one to three days.
  • Use a gentle cleanser, a plain moisturiser and a high-factor SPF. No other products until he says so.
  • No make-up for 24 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and swimming for 24 hours.
  • Keep the skin out of strong sun while it is pink.

Common questions

Does it hurt?

A topical anaesthetic is applied first. Most people feel a vibrating, scratchy sensation.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, often with mesotherapy or PRP, which are delivered through the channels it creates.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually three to six, a month apart, depending on what is being treated.

About Dermapen microneedling at Dr Azoo

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. The skin’s repair response produces new collagen and elastin.

At Dr Azoo it is performed by the doctor with the Dermapen 3MD at depths of up to 2.5mm, which allows deeper scarring to be treated than in a salon setting.
