Common Side Effects (Mild and Temporary)

Most side effects are minimal and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. 

• Redness and warmth in the treated area.
• Swelling, tenderness, and discomfort.
• Pinpoint bleeding or small red spots (petechiae) from the microneedling process.
• Skin tightness or dryness, with potential minor flaking or peeling as the skin renews.
• Lumps or bumps at the application sites, which are generally temporary. 

Rare but Potential Complications

More serious complications are uncommon, but it’s important to be aware of them. 

• Infection.
• Pigmentation changes (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), especially if sun exposure is not avoided after treatment.
• Scarring (including keloid scars).
• Allergic reactions, particularly for individuals with a seafood allergy, as the product contains PDRN derived from trout DNA.
• Unsatisfactory results or asymmetry.
• Nerve damage or altered sensation. 

Byryzn treatment is not suitable for everyone. You should avoid this treatment if you are: 

• Pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Currently using Roaccutane (isotretinoin) or have used it within the last 6 months.
• Experiencing active skin infections, cold sores, open wounds, or conditions like psoriasis or eczema in the treatment area.
• Prone to keloid scarring or have poor wound healing.
• Taking blood-thinning medications (discussed during consultation). 

A thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced practitioner in Australia is essential to understand your individual risks and determine suitability for the treatment. Following pre- and post-care instructions is crucial for minimizing risks. 

Immediate (0-24 hours): You can expect mild to moderate redness, skin tightness, and warmth, similar to a light sunburn. Most people are able to resume normal activities, including returning to work, immediately or the next day.

Days 1-3: Redness and any minor swelling or tenderness should progressively subside. Mild flaking or dryness may occur as the skin renews.

Days 3-7: Skin hydration levels begin to noticeably improve, and flaking should cease. Most temporary side effects resolve completely within this timeframe. 

Avoid washing the face or getting the treated area wet for the first 4 hours after treatment.

Do not apply makeup for the first 24 hours.

Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms for 3-5 days to prevent excessive heat or sweating.

Refrain from using active skincare ingredients such as AHAs, BHAs, Vitamin C, or Retinol for at least 72 hours, or as advised by your practitioner.

Avoid direct sun exposure and consistently wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher sunscreen for several days post-treatment.

Do not undergo other aesthetic treatments like chemical peels, facials, or cosmetic injectables for 7-14 days.

Use only gentle, recommended products and keep the skin well-hydrated with appropriate moisturisers,
