What is microneedling?
Microneedling helps with the signs of skin aging by prompting the skin to build new collagen, lightening pigmentation, and smoothing and tightening the skin. It helps soften and flatten scars. Your clinician will assess whether microneedling is suitable for your skin. We use SkinPen, a microneedling device licensed by Health Canada.
Sterile fine needles gently puncture the skin, creating small, controlled wounds that trigger a boost in collagen production. SkinPen is an automated device designed to create thousands of micro channels in the skin; in combination with the Skinfuse treatment kit, this stimulates collagen induction therapy, which lasts up to one year after treatment.
After the age of 25 our skin produces up to 2% less collagen per year, a problem that contributes to wrinkles because collagen is essential for strength and resilience. Microneedling rejuvenates your skin by restoring collagen, reduces hyperpigmentation, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and scars.

What to expect
Consultation
Your technician evaluates your skin and talks with you about the results you want to achieve.
Preparation
Your skin is cleansed and a topical anaesthetic is applied.
Treatment
Microneedling is generally well tolerated, though some areas, such as the forehead, around the eyes and the lips, are more sensitive than others. A full face takes about 30 minutes to treat and a full neck about 20, after 30 to 45 minutes of numbing.
Recovery
Most clients experience some redness and tenderness. Healing proceeds at a different pace for each person, but most find their side effects disappear within a few days to one week.
Results
New collagen and elastin take time to replace old skin at the surface, so results appear gradually, by the 4 to 6 week mark. Three treatments spaced one month apart are highly recommended for the best results.
FAQ
How long is the procedure?
A full face takes about 30 minutes to treat and a full neck about 20 minutes. Most of the appointment is the numbing, which takes 30 to 45 minutes.
When should I see results?
By the 4 to 6 week mark.
How many treatments will I need, and how far apart?
Best results are realized after three treatments spaced one month apart.
Does it hurt?
Microneedling is generally well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic is applied first, and some areas, such as the forehead, around the eyes and the lips, are more sensitive than others.

No. Makeup should be avoided until at least 24 hours after the treatment.
