Microneedling Edmonton

Without Radiofrequency

Microneedling is a collagen-stimulating treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. Fine sterile needles create controlled micro-perforations in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural repair process and support the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers.

Microneedling can help address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, uneven texture, photodamage and surface pigmentation on the face, neck, décolleté and selected body areas. Depending on the treatment plan, targeted serums may also be applied during or after the procedure to support absorption, and the treatment can be received on its own or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options such as chemical peels, PRP, exosome therapy or medical-grade skincare protocols.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, microneedling at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether microneedling is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results, the recovery and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation. Book your personalized consultation with our team in Edmonton.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Personalized Assessment
Before beginning the microneedling treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment to understand your skin’s condition and your specific expectations. This initial consultation allows us to evaluate your needs in detail and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to achieve the best possible results.
Step 2
Take Pictures
Capturing pre- and post-treatment photos is a crucial step in the microneedling process. These images provide a visual record of your skin's condition before and after each session, helping you track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment over time. This allows you to clearly see the long-term results and gain a better understanding of how the treatment is benefiting your skin.
Step 3
Clean and Disinfect the Skin
Thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove any gel, makeup, and oil is essential before microneedling. This step ensures that the skin is free of impurities and creates a clean, sterile surface for the procedure. Proper disinfection is crucial for preventing any risk of infection and ensuring the best possible results from the treatment.
Step 4
Apply a Numbing Gel
To minimize discomfort during the microneedling procedure, a lidocaine-based numbing gel is applied to the clean skin. This anesthetic gel is left on for approximately 45 minutes to effectively desensitize the area and ensure a more comfortable treatment experience.
Step 5
Microneedling Therapy
During the microneedling treatment, a single-use tip is applied to the skin with light pressure. The needles create micro-injuries that trigger your body's natural repair process. The technician ensures controlled and precise movements, overlapping each pass to cover the entire treatment area thoroughly without any gaps. For areas with more pronounced concerns, a second pass may be performed to enhance results. After the 45-minute application of topical anesthesia, the treatment itself typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being addressed.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

After your initial microneedling series, which is usually spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart, ongoing maintenance may be recommended to sustain and enhance your results. The exact number and frequency of follow-up treatments depend on your skin condition and individual goals. Typically, clients may need additional sessions every 6 to 12 months to maintain their rejuvenated skin. Regular follow-up ensures your skin continues to benefit from the treatment, providing long-lasting improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Contraindications

Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with hemophilia, active acne, rosacea, solar keratosis, autoimmune disorders, or those on long-term steroids, anticoagulants, or chemotherapy. Avoid microneedling if you have nickel allergies, scleroderma, or a compromised skin barrier. Consult a healthcare provider if you have heart disease, hypertension, insulin-dependent diabetes, or recent cancer treatments. Always review your medical history and conditions with your healthcare provider to ensure microneedling is appropriate for you.
