It’s important to proceed with caution for clients with a history of skin cancer. If a client declares they are suffering from, or have suffered from, cancer of any form, they must not be treated until medication stops and they have a referral from their doctor. Before proceeding with microneedling, it is crucial to consult with the client’s dermatologist or oncologist to obtain professional medical clearance. This ensures that the treatment is safe and appropriate given their medical history.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 2 years after the successful treatment and remission of skin cancer before considering microneedling. However, this timeline can vary based on individual circumstances and the advice of their healthcare provider.
