Microneedling - SkinPen® Treatment | PureSkin Dermatology | London ON

Microneedling - SkinPen®

SkinPen Microneedling will even out your skin tone, treat pigmented spots such as melasma, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and significantly reduces the appearance of acne scars. This non-invasive procedure triggers your body’s natural collagen and elastin production by creating controlled tiny micro-channels in your skin. Downtime is 24 hours, after which you will notice dramatic results with as little as one treatment.

When combined with the power of platelet rich plasma (PRP), your microneedling treatment will enhance your skin’s ability to heal from scars, wrinkles, uneven texture, pigmentation and redness.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an innovative treatment that creates thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process to prompt tissue remodeling without scar formation.

At PureSkin Dermatology, we pride ourselves on providing our patients with the most effective treatments in each class, which is why we offer SkinPen® – Health Canada approved and the industry’s most effective and clinically proven microneedling device.

Safe for all skin types, and clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and much more.

What to expect during a treatment

Prior to your treatment, we recommend avoiding any exfoliating products for at least 48 hours. At the time of your procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be used for your comfort.

The SkinPen® will then be used on cleansed skin, creating thousands of microchannels to trigger skin regeneration and to actively deliver drug to deeper layers of your skin during treatment.

Once your treatment is complete, a soothing post care regimen will be placed on your skin before you leave. Maximum results are seen with multiple treatments.

What to expect after a treatment

After each treatment, your skin may be red and slightly swollen for a few days and will typically take 5-7 days to heal. Our skincare experts will provide you with post care instructions and products to use to help with the healing and remodelling process.

Once the skin has healed, you will notice an improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. Over the course of 3-6 months, your skin will regenerate new collagen for a more youthful appearance.

VBeam laser was combined with microneedling to target diffuse redness while improving skin texture and overall quality. This synergistic approach helps calm vascular reactivity while stimulating collagen for a smoother, more even complexion.

FAQ

Have a question before getting started? Our FAQ section covers the details people most often ask about, from our process to treatment preparation, so you can feel confident moving forward.

Most patients experience redness and swelling after their microneedling treatment. Our skincare experts will provide you with gentle, non-comedogenic lotions and moisturizers to help the healing process. Downtime depends on the depth of treatment, but usually lasts 48-72 hours for most patients.
A series of treatments is always more effective than a stand-alone procedure. Depending on the treatment outcomes desired, 3-4 treatments may be recommended every 4-6 weeks.
While microneedling can improve acne scars, we do not recommend the treatment if you are experiencing active acne. Microneedling may spread the bacteria in the skin, making breakouts worse.
