Usage Recommendations
1. Start with a patch test
Before you start using Reedle Shot, it is recommended to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount to an area that is not very prominent, such as behind the ear or on the forearm. Wait 24 hours to ensure that no allergic reaction occurs.
2. How often should you use Reedle Shot
If you have never used Reedle Shot before, you should start with caution. The microneedle technology stimulates the skin intensely, and it is important to let the skin adapt to avoid irritation.
Here are the recommendations for the most common strengths:
- Reedle Shot 100: Use once a day for a mild but effective treatment.
- Reedle Shot 300: Use every third day for a more intense treatment.
- Reedle Shot 700: Once a week for a deeper treatment.
3. When should you use Reedle Shot?
Use Reedle Shot in the evening after cleansing and before your night cream. Nighttime is the best time for Reedle Shot because the skin then enters its natural recovery phase. During the night, the skin is more receptive to active ingredients, and the microneedles can work undisturbed without being affected by external factors such as sun, dirt, or makeup.
In the morning after use, it is recommended to wash your face with a mild cleanser. This removes any residue from the serum and ensures that the skin is ready for your morning routine. Also remember to always apply sunscreen after using Reedle Shot, as the skin can be extra sensitive to the sun.
4. Avoid combinations & skincare devices
- Do not combine Reedle Shot with other products in the same series at the same time. It can lead to overloading the skin.
- Do not use skincare devices, such as microneedling tools, together with the product to avoid severe irritation.
Possible Skin Reactions and Side Effects
1. Tingling Sensation
A mild tingling or prickling sensation may occur upon application. This is normal and is due to the microneedle technology that stimulates the skin.
2. Redness and Irritation
Temporary redness or irritation may occur, especially if you have sensitive skin or use the product too often. If this happens, use the product less frequently.
3. Allergic Reactions
In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur, which can manifest as rashes, itching, or swelling. If this occurs, discontinue use immediately and contact a skincare specialist.
