Benefits of microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, activates the skin’s natural regenerative process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin. This boost in collagen and elastin enhances skin elasticity, leading to a more resilient and youthful complexion.

This cosmetic treatment enhances the absorption of professional skincare ingredients applied afterward, such as:

Exosomes: Applied immediately after the treatment, exosomes amplify the skin’s regenerative response. They accelerate healing, promote a more even skin tone, and enhance firmness and radiance for visibly healthier-looking skin.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and replenishes the skin.
Peptides: Improves skin firmness, reduces wrinkles, and boosts overall texture.
Ceramides: Supports the skin barrier and aids in hydration and healing.
EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): Accelerates skin repair, reduces wrinkles, and improves hydration and pigmentation.

Microneedling offers results with minimal downtime, typically 24 to 48 hours. It is particularly beneficial for darker skin tones, where laser treatments may be less suitable.

The procedure effectively reduces acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores, photodamage, pigmentation, and uneven skin texture. Optimal results are usually visible 4 to 6 weeks or 2 to 3 months after treatment, depending on the frequency and intensity of the sessions. Regular treatments and combining microneedling with other skin rejuvenation therapies can further enhance outcomes.

The initial treatment plan typically includes 3 to 4 microneedling sessions spaced 3 to 8 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions once per year.

For enhanced results, Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) combines traditional microneedling with RF energy to further stimulate collagen production and improve skin tightening. This advanced technique amplifies the benefits of microneedling by adding deeper stimulation to the dermis, leading to even more pronounced improvements in skin texture and firmness.

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.

Treatment & Technology

At Dermapure Old Longueuil, microneedling is offered as a non-invasive skin treatment designed to support skin renewal and overall skin quality. This treatment works by stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes to help improve texture, tone, and visible skin irregularities.
