What is Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure intended to treat deeper skin concerns via collagen production and cell renewal. Using an electric stamping device, microscopic injuries are created in the epidermis to provoke repair cells and growth factors to rush to the area to heal the area. The increased collagen activity and cellular repair will flatten the skin surface and improve scars, burns, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, open pores, skin texture, fine lines and more. Microneedling is safe for all skin types.
Skin Benefits
Non-medical micro-needling procedures will force the body to increase fibroblast cells, collagen and elastin fibres in ageing or damaged skin areas. The expected outcome is stronger, plump skin with a soft texture and healthier appearance. It can help with:
- acne scars
- wrinkles
- stretch marks
- Large pores
- dark spots
- skin texture
- Loose skin
- All skin types

What does it feel like?
Microneedling treatments are not painful. Aided with a topical numbing cream, you will not feel a thing. Most clients report a feeling of tingling and heat on the treated area due to increased blood flow to the area. Aside from the needling part, the overall facial is refreshing and relaxing.
preparing for microneedling
To improve the outcome of your micro-needling results, you should come with freshly cleaned hair. You should also prep your home environment by changing your pillowcases, bedsheets and face towels. Also, avoid drinking too much alcohol or taking blood-thinning medication the night prior to your treatment.
Aftercare
After your microneedling, refrain from wearing makeup for 48 hours and avoid sun exposure for the same amount of time. After this, make sure you wear sunscreen (SPF 30 and over) anytime you are exposed to the sun.

What to expect
Microneedling is an excellent treatment for anyone suffering from effects of acne scarring, open pores, discoloration, aging, and any symptom related to skin texture. After your session, the skin will be red and slightly swollen with a feeling of tightness. During the following week, you may experience skin shedding and peeling that will reveal younger and smoother skin below. After 10 days, you may exfoliate and start seeing its results.

Our medispa facial clinics in Montreal and Laval place a high priority on customer experience.
