Discuss your health and skin history
Report active acne or infection, cold sores, poor healing, raised scars, immune conditions, medications, blood or platelet conditions, and known product sensitivities. Discuss blood collection and PRP-specific suitability if considering Vampire Facial. Your provider may recommend postponing treatment or another approach.
Know the possible effects
Microneedling can cause irritation, bruising, bleeding, and pigment changes. Infection and cold-sore flare-ups can also occur. Review the risks, any PRP collection or application, the exact Toskani topical when applicable, and aftercare instructions for your treatment.
Use only topical and aftercare products recommended for your treatment. The FDA has not authorized microneedling devices to deliver cosmetics, topical medicines, vitamins, or PRP into the skin; ask your provider to explain how any Toskani topical is used within your plan.
Read the FDA’s microneedling information. RF treatments add energy and require a separate discussion of benefits and risks.
