Microneedling in Richmond Hill

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical method for rejuvenating and stimulating the collagen fibers of the skin. It works by using a fine needle to stimulate collagen fibres, which are part of the dermal, or outermost layer of skin. Collagen fibres are responsible for firmness and elasticity in the skin.

The procedure uses a very small needle that is sent through the skin at very slow speeds until it reaches the desired level of stimulation. The effect is subtle and often not noticed, but it can have a long-term positive impact on appearance. If you have concerns about microneedling, please contact your doctor in advance to discuss this procedure with her before you decide to proceed with it.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy.

The laser used in microneedling works by using small needles to create tiny punctures into the skin. These tiny holes are then filled with a local anesthetic or numbing agent. The needle is then removed to leave behind only a few tiny scars.
In some cases, this procedure has been shown to help on the top surface of the face and neck, but it can also be used for other areas such as legs and arms.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

The benefits of microneedling in patients with acne and/or rosacea are as follows:
A decrease in the size of pores. A decrease in the number of micro-pores, which can lead to increased clogging and blockage.
Reduced pigmentation and hyperpigmentation (i.e., darkening) due to melanin production. The darkening is the result of a hormone called erythropoietin (Epi-D), which helps the blood cells make more red blood cells. Reduced hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (i.e., whitening) due to a reduction of melanin production.

The procedure is well tolerated by patients, with no complications reported during the clinical trials conducted for this study.

What should I expect after a microneedling treatment?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a hand-held device to gently release tiny amounts of the active ingredient, botox, into the skin.
The procedure is performed one to two times a year at the spa.

After the treatment, patients experience mild swelling, which resolves in a few days. The full recovery time varies from patient to patient, but most patients will see significant improvement in pores and skin tone within two weeks.
Most micro-needling procedures are safe and effective for all skin types.

How often should I get a microneedling treatment?

Microneedling treatments are a great way to rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles and signs of aging, and improve its overall health. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small handheld needles to stimulate collagen production in the epidermis and dermis. The needles often penetrate the skin only a few millimeters away from the surface of the skin, which allows for maximum penetration into subcutaneous tissue. The needles are so small that they can penetrate through shirts.

Microneedling is an increasingly popular method of rejuvenation and treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, which are more visible on high-functioning women than men. Results vary from person to person, but most people experience improvements in skin tone, texture and elasticity with repeated treatments — especially if you use it regularly — such as twice a week.
