Microneedling

Microneedling is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a precision-controlled device with ultra-fine sterile needles, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin to trigger a regenerative healing response.

At our St. Catharines medical aesthetics clinic, microneedling treatments are customized based on skin type, concerns, and long-term skin goals to ensure safe and effective results.

What does Microneedling treat?

  • Acne scars

  • Surgical scars

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Enlarged pores

  • Uneven skin texture

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Stretch marks

  • Mild skin laxity

  • Dull, tired-looking skin

Because microneedling strengthens the skin barrier while stimulating collagen, it’s an excellent option for patients seeking natural rejuvenation without injectables.

What to expect during consult

Your skin is assessed for:

  • Active acne

  • Scarring depth

  • Pigmentation type

  • Skin sensitivity

Lets Talk Microneedling Faqs

What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a medical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, improved firmness, and healthier-looking skin.

Many patients in St. Catharines notice brighter, smoother skin within 7–10 days. However, true collagen remodeling develops gradually over 4–6 weeks. For concerns like acne scars and fine lines, the most noticeable improvement occurs after a series of 3–6 treatments.

The number of treatments depends on your skin goals:

  • Mild texture concerns: 3 sessions

  • Acne scarring: 4–6 sessions

  • Anti-aging maintenance: 1–2 treatments per year

Treatments are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal collagen stimulation.

A topical medical-grade numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild vibration or light pressure rather than pain. Areas with thinner skin may feel slightly more sensitive.

You can expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–72 hours. Some patients experience light swelling or flaking as the skin renews. Most people return to work the next day with minimal interruption.

Yes. Because microneedling does not rely on heat or light energy, it is considered safe for most skin tones when performed by a trained medical professional. It is an excellent option for patients in St. Catharines seeking rejuvenation without the risk of pigmentation complications.

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for mild to moderate acne scarring and enlarged pores. By rebuilding collagen beneath the surface, it gradually smooths indented scars and refines overall skin texture.
