Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural collagen production to improve texture, scarring, and overall skin quality. Add-on options like exosomes, PRP, TA-Ampoule, and NCTF can be layered into treatment to target your specific concerns more effectively. We offer microneedling at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics, customized to your skin's needs.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production as the skin repairs itself. The result is smoother texture, reduced scarring, and improved overall skin quality. Treatment can also be paired with serums or add-ons that are absorbed more deeply through the channels created during the procedure.
What to Expect
A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. The device is passed across the treatment area, creating tiny punctures at a depth calibrated to your specific concerns. Most patients describe mild discomfort similar to light sandpaper against the skin. Redness similar to a mild sunburn is common for a day or two afterward, with skin typically returning to normal shortly after.
How Microneedling Works
As the needles create tiny punctures in the skin, the body responds as it would to any minor injury, triggering an increase in collagen and elastin production at the site. This rebuilding process gradually improves the skin's texture, firmness, and overall quality over the following weeks. When paired with add-ons like exosomes, PRP, TA-Ampoule, or NCTF, the micro-channels created during treatment allow these ingredients to absorb more deeply, supporting the skin's renewal process even further.
What it Helps With
- Acne and Acne Scarring: Improve the texture and depth of acne scars by stimulating new collagen in the treated area.
- Skin Texture: Smooth rough or uneven texture for a refined, healthy-looking complexion.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Soften the appearance of fine lines as new collagen builds beneath the skin's surface.
- Pores: Refine the appearance of enlarged pores through controlled collagen stimulation.
- Skin Laxity: Improve firmness and elasticity as the skin's structural support rebuilds over time.
