What is Microneedling Treatment?​

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful skin. Our advanced microneedling treatments also allow for enhanced absorption of skin-nourishing serums, making the procedure even more effective.

Types of Microneedling Treatments at Revive Cosmetic Clinic Edmonton

  1. Traditional Microneedling: This standard microneedling technique uses a pen-like device with fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin, boosting collagen and elastin production.

  2. RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency): A more advanced form of microneedling that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to target deeper layers of the skin, offering superior results for skin tightening, acne scars, and wrinkles.

  3. Dermapen Microneedling: A versatile microneedling device perfect for precise treatments on delicate areas. Dermapen microneedling provides enhanced results, especially for facial treatments, due to its adjustable needle depth and precision.

Key Benefits of Microneedling

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Smooths out uneven skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Reduces Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: Helps to diminish the appearance of old acne scars, stretch marks, and other forms of scarring.
  • Minimizes Pore Size: Tightens and reduces enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production: Promotes healthier, more youthful skin by boosting natural collagen and elastin levels.
  • Enhanced Serum Absorption: The micro-channels allow for deeper penetration of serums like hyaluronic acid and growth factors, enhancing hydration and skin nourishment.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to improve the overall quality of their skin without undergoing more invasive procedures. Suitable for all skin types, it addresses concerns like acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. However, it is not recommended for those with active skin infections, severe rosacea, or certain skin conditions that impair healing.

The Microneedling Process at Revive Cosmetic Clinic Edmonton

  • Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with our expert team to assess your skin and develop a tailored treatment plan.

  • Pre-Treatment Prep: To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure.

  • Microneedling Procedure: The chosen microneedling device is gently moved across the treatment area, creating micro-injuries that trigger collagen production.

  • Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, the skin may appear red, similar to a sunburn. We provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to enhance results and minimize downtime.

What to Expect After Your Microneedling Treatment

Post-treatment, your skin may feel warm, tight, and slightly red. Most patients experience mild dryness for a few days as the skin begins to heal and regenerate. It is essential to avoid direct sun exposure, apply a physical sunscreen, and follow a gentle skincare routine to maximize results. Many patients notice a glowing complexion a few days after treatment, with continued improvement as collagen production increases over several weeks.
