Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture and promote collagen restructuring in the dermal layers of the skin. This treatment is performed using a handheld micro-pen that vibrates at high power to pierce the superficial layer of your skin thousands of times over a few seconds. The controlled micro-injuries triggered by the needles stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. This leads to increased production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and overall youthfulness.

Results gradually become visible as the skin heals, showing a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and an overall smoother, tighter, more radiant complexion.

TREATMENT WALKTHROUGH

  • Please ensure you are aware of the required downtime, we recommend no events the week following treatment.

    If prone to cold sores, do not book. No Valtrex can be taken prior to treatment.

    Do not receive neuromodulator injectables for 2 weeks prior.

    Please discontinue the use of active ingredients for 5 days before treatment.

  • Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ease discomfort. When treatment begins, a hand piece is placed against the skin. Light pressure will be felt, when the handpiece is pushed down and the needles puncture the skin's surface. A slight vibration can be felt.

  • You will experience redness for 1-3 days.

    You may experience inflammation, itching, burning and possible breakouts.

    You may experience some swelling around the eye area.

    Results can last up to 6-12 months. Maintenance treatments are required annually.

    For best results, multiple sessions are usually recommended, spaced several weeks apart.

  • Do not touch your face for a minimum of 8 hours.

    It is recommended to avoid sweaty exercise and sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure.

    Avoid washing your face after the treatment for 8 hours, after which you can wash your face with a gentle cleanser.

    It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours to apply any makeup.

    Apply a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher the next day (or after you have washed your face).

  • Microneedling penetrates deep into your epidermis and the upper layers of the dermis to stimulate the healing response which results in:

    • A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles

    • Immediate improvement in skin texture

    • A reduction in hyperpigmentation

    • A more even skin tone

    • A reduction of pockmarks and scarring

    • A reduction of blackheads

    • General skin exfoliation for better absorption of moisturizers

    • In some cases an improvement of acne

  • Microneedling can often be combined with other treatments to enhance overall results. For instance, combining microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, where your own blood plasma is applied to the skin, can boost collagen production and improve healing.

    It can also be paired with topical serums or other skincare treatments to increase efficacy and target specific concerns like hyperpigmentation or dehydration.

  • Microneedling differs from other collagen-boosting treatments in its approach.

    While microneedling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production, laser treatments uses light energy to target deeper skin layers, or use heat energy to stimulate collagen.

    Each method has its own benefits and may be preferred based on individual skin concerns, treatment goals, and desired outcomes.

    Your Skin Care Expert can help determine which treatment or combination of treatments is best suited to your specific needs.
