Microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
It involves the use of a FDA/Health Canada approved device equipped with fine, sterile needles that create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These tiny punctures trigger the body's natural healing process, leading to the generation of new skin cells and an increase in collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness.
Microneedling effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, and uneven texture. The procedure is customizable to different skin types and concerns, and it can be performed on various parts of the body, not just the face. With minimal downtime and significant results, microneedling offers a safe and effective way to achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Multiple sessions are typically recommended to achieve optimal results, but noticeable changes can often be seen just one week after treatment as the body's healing process begins to take effect. The improvements continue to develop over time, enhancing the skin's appearance gradually. Side effects are usually mild, resembling those of a mild sunburn, and may include redness, tenderness, and some swelling.
The optimal number of microneedling sessions can vary depending on individual skin concerns and goals. However, a common recommendation to start is a series of three sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart.
