Pre and Post Care: Scalp Microneedling

Scalp Microneedling: Pre- & Post-Care Instructions

​

At Arawan MedSpa + Wellness, our scalp microneedling treatments are designed to stimulate natural hair growth, improve scalp health, and support long-term follicle strength. To ensure optimal results and a smooth healing process, please follow the guidelines below.


Before Your Treatment
 

Do:

  • Wash your hair the morning of your appointment using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.

 

  • Avoid using any styling products such as gel, mousse, or oil on the day of treatment.

 

  • Stay well hydrated. Healthy skin responds better to treatment.

 

  • Discontinue the use of topical retinoids, exfoliants, or scalp acids 72 hours prior.

 

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) 8 days before your session if medically appropriate.

​

  • Let us know if you’ve had a recent sunburn, rash, infection, or sensitivity on your scalp.

​

Don’t:

  • Do not undergo treatment if you have active eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, or a scalp infection.

 

  • Avoid scheduling hair coloring, keratin, or chemical treatments within 48 hours before your session.

 


After Your Treatment


Do:

  • Wait at least 24 hours before washing your hair.

 

  • Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo when cleansing the scalp.

 

  • Apply only the recommended post-care products or growth serums as instructed.

 

  • Protect your scalp from sun exposure. Wear a loose, breathable hat when outdoors.

 

  • Keep hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support healing and hair growth.

 

  • Resume use of topicals like Minoxidil only when approved 48 to 72 hours after treatment.

​

Don’t:

  • Avoid sweating, working out, or taking hot showers for 24 hours.

 

  • Do not scratch, pick, or rub the treated area.

 

  • Refrain from wearing tight hats, helmets, or headbands for 48 hours.

 

  • Avoid hair coloring, chemical treatments, or scalp exfoliation for at least 5 to 7 days.

 

  • No swimming, saunas, or steam rooms for 72 hours post-treatment.

​

 

Treatment Schedule

For best results, scalp microneedling is recommended in a series of at least 6 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with consistent follow-up care and proper home maintenance.
