Microneedling Calgary
Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a procedure used to reduce signs of aging on the face, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture from acne scars or sun damage and thinning skin which are mainly caused by the loss of collagen and elastin. Microneedling can improve these conditions by producing new natural collagen and elastin.
Microneedling may seem like the newest trend out there but it has been around for about 50 years! The process of Microneedling takes about 30 minutes. Before starting, a topical numbing cream is placed on your face to make the procedure more comfortable for you. Next, we use the InnoPen over the surface of your skin to create tiny holes in the skin’s surface. Depending on the type of skin condition and the size of the procedure area, multiple sessions may be recommended, about 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the best results.
Microneedling can provide great results and have your skin looking better than ever. You should never complete a session if you have active acne, active cold sores or an abnormal skin condition or disease.
Cost depends on several factors, including the condition being treated, the size of the procedure area, and the number of sessions recommended.
What to expect after your first session of Microneedling:
Your skin will be inflamed immediately after the procedure but it is short and fades significantly within a few hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to 48 hours.
Skin redness, dryness and peeling are common in the recovery period after your session and usually last a couple days.
You can expect to have glowing skin after the recovery period of your very first treatment!
