LDM Water Drip Lifting Machine

I. Preparation

Required Products:

• MTSPEN microneedling device (such as Dr. Pen A11, M8S, A9, or Hydra Pen H5)

• New microneedle cartridge (must be replaced for each use)

• Disinfecting alcohol solution (60% alcohol mixed with purified water)

• Cotton pads

• Facial cleanser

• Hyaluronic acid serum (recommended for microneedling treatment)

• Clean towel

• Optional: surgical gloves

• Optional: numbing cream (containing 5% lidocaine)

Pre-Treatment Preparation:

1. Avoid Specific Substances: Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medication, alcohol, or fish oil supplements for 3 days before treatment to reduce bleeding risk.

2. Cleanse Your Face:

• Tie your hair back completely away from your face

• Thoroughly cleanse your face twice with your preferred cleanser to remove all traces of makeup and lotions

• Any dirt, oil, or stray hairs touching your skin can increase infection or irritation risk

3. Apply Numbing Cream (Optional):

• If your skin is sensitive, use numbing cream containing 5% lidocaine

• Apply approximately half the tube to the treatment area

• Leave on for 20-30 minutes, then thoroughly remove

• Use 60% alcohol mixed with purified water or 0.1 chlorhexidine to wipe off any remaining numbing cream

• Removing the numbing cream ensures it won't enter the microchannels created during treatment

4. Prepare Your Device:

• Ensure the device is fully charged or near a power source

• Sterilize the device surface and work area

• Keep alcohol readily available

• To avoid cross-contamination, don't touch anything other than your skin and device during treatment

• Consider pouring serum into a small bowl and applying with a brush to maintain hygiene

II. Microneedling Procedure

1. Apply Serum:

• Apply hyaluronic acid serum to the treatment area to lubricate the skin

• The serum helps needles glide smoothly over the skin, preventing pulling

• Avoid using Vitamin C, retinol, exfoliants, or brightening ingredients during treatment as they may cause irritation

2. Install the Cartridge:

• Ensure your hands are clean; wear gloves if preferred

• Open a new microneedle cartridge package and attach it to your device

• Do not touch the needle tips

3. Adjust Needle Depth:

• Select your desired needle depth by rotating the dial on your device

• Recommended depths for different facial areas:

• Forehead: 0.25-0.5mm

• Around eyes: 0.15-0.25mm

• Cheeks: 0.5-1.0mm

• Chin/jawline: 0.5-1.0mm

• Nose: 0.25-0.5mm

• Upper lip: 0.25-0.5mm

• Neck: 0.5-1.0mm

• Body: 0.5-1.5mm (for fleshier areas)

4. Perform Microneedling:

• Work in small areas, applying serum to the skin just before needling each section

• The recommended movement pattern is vertical, horizontal, then diagonal in both directions

• Work in a grid pattern so you know exactly which areas you have and haven't treated

• Use light pressure and keep the skin taut with your free hand

• Repeat this motion twice over each area

5. Body Area Considerations:

• When treating body areas (such as legs or hands), avoid needling over bony parts (especially on legs)

• Only use 36-42 pin cartridges for body microneedling

• For legs, use 0.5mm needle depth

• For fleshier areas, depths up to 1.5mm can be used

III. Post-Microneedling Care

Immediate Aftercare:

1. If desired, gently wash your face with lukewarm water

2. Immediately apply hyaluronic acid serum to the treated area to provide hydration and soothe the skin

3. Mild redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding after microneedling treatment are normal and nothing to worry about

4. Avoid exercising/sweating or applying makeup for 24 hours

5. Apply high-protection sunscreen when going outside

6. If makeup is unavoidable, use products specifically designed for post-treatment or sensitive skin to avoid irritation

24 Hours After Treatment:

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser and apply a nourishing moisturizer

2. Avoid products containing fragrances, active ingredients (vitamin C, A/retinol), acids (lactic, AHA, BHA), physical scrubs, or toners that may cause irritation

3. Your skin may experience mild swelling, bruising, peeling, and flaking. Minimize these effects by keeping the skin moisturized, which will reduce shedding and alleviate tightness

4. Continue to avoid exercising, excessive sweating, swimming, or applying makeup for 24 hours

5. Always apply high-protection sunscreen when outdoors and avoid prolonged sun exposure

48 Hours After Treatment:

1. Optional: If you have dry/flaking skin, you can begin gently exfoliating to speed up recovery

2. Do not use chemical or harsh physical exfoliants; opt for a washcloth with gentle pressure

3. If your skin feels sensitive, do not exfoliate—the dryness and flaking will naturally subside

4. Continue hydrating your skin morning and night

3-5 Days After Treatment:

1. Continue applying high-protection sunscreen daily and avoid direct and extended sun exposure

2. Focus your skincare routine on hydrating and moisturizing products

3. Continue avoiding active ingredients, acids, scrubs, and toners

7+ Days After Treatment:

1. You may return to your regular skincare routine

2. Wait at least 4-6 weeks before your next microneedling treatment to allow full skin recovery
