Common goals: improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture.

Microneedling in Edmonton

Microneedling is a collagen-supporting cosmetic procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-channels on the skin's surface. This process helps improve the appearance of texture irregularities, fine lines, and superficial scarring—revealing smoother, more radiant-looking skin over time.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin's upper layers. This stimulates the body's natural collagen-producing response, helping to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven tone.

While microneedling cannot treat active acne or deep scarring, it is a highly effective cosmetic option for supporting smoother, more refined, and more even-looking skin. Topical serums are applied afterward for enhanced superficial absorption.

How It Works

  • Controlled Micro-Channels: Ultra-fine needles create precise channels in the skin's surface.
  • Collagen Support: The body's natural healing response supports collagen, improving the appearance of firmness and smoothness.
  • Enhanced Superficial Absorption: Cosmetic serums applied after treatment absorb more effectively on the skin's surface.
  • Progressive Results: Improvements in tone and texture continue to develop over several weeks.
