❗ CLIENTS WITH A HISTORY OF HERPES – MICRONEEDLING IS NOT RECOMMENDED
At LA'BELLA BEAUTÉ SG, safety is always our top priority. Microneedling is an effective skin rejuvenation and regeneration treatment; however, it is not suitable for everyone, especially for clients with a history of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) such as cold sores or herpetic skin lesions.
🔬 Why is Herpes a contraindication for Microneedling?
The Herpes simplex virus remains dormant in the body for life and can be reactivated when the skin barrier is compromised. During microneedling, thousands of micro-channels are created in the skin, which may:
• Trigger reactivation of HSV
• Allow the virus to spread rapidly across the treated area
• Lead to multiple blister eruptions and severe skin inflammation
• Increase the risk of secondary infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and atrophic scarring
A treatment intended to improve the skin may instead result in serious damage and prolonged recovery.
🚫 Clients who should strictly avoid Microneedling
• History of cold sores, facial herpes, or genital herpes
• Recurrent blister outbreaks around the lips, nose, or chin during stress, fatigue, or fever
• Recent herpes episode with incomplete healing (within the past 4–6 weeks)
🌿 Safe alternative solutions at LA'BELLA BEAUTÉ SG
For clients with a history of Herpes, we recommend non-invasive skin restoration treatments, including:
• Epidermal recovery and skin-barrier strengthening programs
• Gentle brightening and rejuvenation therapies without micro-injury
• Personalized treatment plans to support long-term skin health
