Microneedling in Calgary

Microneedling works through a fundamentally different mechanism to chemical peels and laser treatments using physical micro-injuries rather than chemical or light energy to stimulate the skin's repair response. This makes it a uniquely versatile and universally suitable treatment effective across all skin tones without the risk of pigmentation changes associated with some laser technologies, and without the sensitivity and recovery period of more aggressive chemical peels. It also creates micro-channels in the skin that dramatically enhance the absorption of topical active ingredients making it an ideal platform for combining with powerful regenerative treatments such as PDRN and Exosomes for amplified results.

A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to ensure your comfort throughout. Once the numbing has taken effect, most clients describe the sensation as a mild vibrating or scratching feeling across the skin entirely tolerable and significantly more comfortable than many expect. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and the depth of needling used with more sensitive areas such as the forehead and nose tip requiring a little more numbing time. The treatment itself takes approximately 30–45 minutes and most clients find the experience far more comfortable than anticipated.
