Immediate Aftercare

Thank you for choosing Kallos Wellness for your Dermapen Collagen Therapy treatment.

Adhering to your individual care instructions provided by your Kallos Practitioner as well as the general aftercare advice below, will help to ensure you experience a positive recovery and results.

​

What to Expect

Dermapen Needling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, supporting long-term improvements in texture, firmness, and radiance.

After your treatment, you may notice:

• Redness or warmth (24–48h) – a normal sign your skin is activating repair

• Sensitivity or tightness

• Mild swelling

• Light flaking or rough texture as your skin renews

• Positive effects starting within days: smoother texture, subtle glow, and improved hydration

• Longer-term benefits over weeks: firmer, more even skin, reduced fine lines, and enhanced overall radiance

Your skin will feel calmer within a few days, while deeper collagen repair continues over several weeks.

​

Please DO:
✅ Keep hands away from your face – prevents bacteria from entering your skin while micro-channels are still open
✅ Use only recommended post-treatment products – supports barrier recovery and reduces irritation
✅ Sleep on a clean pillowcase – reduces exposure to dust or bacteria
✅ Cleanse gently with lukewarm water and soap-free cleanser – removes debris without stressing the skin
✅ Apply hydrating or calming serums and moisturisers – restores moisture and soothes inflammation
✅ Wear a hat and mineral SPF once advised – protects new skin from sun damage

 

Please DON'T:
❌ Apply makeup for 24–48h – prevents clogging micro-channels and reduces infection risk
❌ Exercise, sauna, or hot yoga for 24–48h – heat and sweat can prolong redness or irritation
❌ Use retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, Vitamin C(except CE Ferulic), scrubs, or alcohol toners – active ingredients can increase sensitivity and compromise healing
❌ Touch, pick, or exfoliate treated area – prevents scarring and uneven healing
❌ Expose skin to sun without protection – newly regenerated skin is more prone to pigmentation
