Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that supports collagen production and skin renewal. Using a Health Canada-approved device with ultra-fine, sterile needles, controlled micro-injuries are created in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Over time, this process can improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality.
At our clinic, microneedling is performed by a licensed acupuncturist (R. Ac) using an evidence-informed approach with careful attention to safety, skin type, and realistic expectations. The outer layer of the skin is preserved, which allows for meaningful skin remodeling with less downtime compared to more aggressive treatments such as lasers or deep chemical peels.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments, typically spaced every 4–6 weeks. More extensive scarring or deeper skin concerns may require additional sessions. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to support comfort. Temporary redness, sensitivity, mild swelling, or light flaking may occur and usually resolve within a few days. Sunscreen and proper aftercare are essential following treatment.
A topical anesthetic ensures comfort, with mild redness, swelling, or flaking possible for a few days. High quality non-irritating sunscreen is provided post-treatment.
