Part 1: Preparation — Laying the Foundation for Safety

Skin Assessment
Always check your skin before treatment. Avoid microneedling on active acne, inflamed, or overly sensitive areas.

Clean Environment
Work in a tidy, dust-free space to reduce the risk of bacteria exposure.

Personal Protection
Wear sterile disposable gloves for extra hygiene.

Cleaning & Disinfection
Sanitize the needle cartridges, device, and all tools. Always use a fresh, single-use cartridge for each session.

Skin Cleansing
Wipe your skin with sterile saline solution after cleansing to remove any residue.

Product Pairing
Match your serum to your skin goals—hydration, anti-aging, acne care, or even scalp treatments. Different needs call for different serums.

Part 2: Treatment — Smart Microneedling for Better Absorption

Needle Installation
Attach the needle cartridge securely following your device instructions.

Apply the Serum
Spread your chosen serum evenly across the treatment area.

Speed & Depth Adjustment
Choose the right speed/needle depth based on your skin’s tolerance and goals.

Operation Method
Pair devices like HaloCalm H7 or F10 with your favorite serum to enhance absorption. For maximum convenience, the M10 model features a built-in serum release function for continuous application.

Zonal Operation
Work in sections: forehead → cheeks → nose → chin. Glide gently without overlapping passes. Always monitor your skin’s response and adjust depth accordingly.

Part 3: Aftercare — Calm, Hydrate, Protect

Soothing & Calming
Apply a cooling sheet mask or soothing mist right after treatment to reduce redness and calm the skin.

Hydration
Stick to gentle, hydrating products with simple ingredients to replenish moisture.

Sun Protection
Daily sunscreen is a must to avoid post-treatment pigmentation.

Avoid Irritants
Skip harsh actives (like strong acids or retinol) for 1–3 days to let your skin recover.

Maintenance Routine

• Basic Care: Once every 3–4 weeks for hydrated, radiant skin.
• Scar & Fine Line Repair: Every 2–3 weeks for gradual improvement.
• Scalp Care: 1–2 times weekly to support nutrient absorption at the follicle level.

Final Thoughts

Microneedling is all about precision and consistency. By following the right steps and pairing with the right products, you’ll gradually see smoother, healthier skin that absorbs your skincare more effectively.

Skincare is never a one-time fix—it’s a journey. Stick with it, and let HaloCalm be your partner in glowing, confident skin. 💫
