Microneedling Mont-Tremblant

Without Radiofrequency

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, reaching up to 3 mm in depth. The needle length is adjusted to the treatment area, the skin type and the goals of each session. These tiny, controlled punctures act on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) and signal the skin to launch its natural repair process. Deeper treatments are performed by a trained specialist, with the depth always tailored to your skin and your goals.

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

A meeting prior to the microneedling treatment allows us to better understand your expectations as well as your skin condition and to build a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2

Take Pictures

Taking pre- and post-treatment pictures is an important step as it allows you to visualize the evolution of your skin condition over the course of the treatments. It is also an opportunity for you to better understand the treatment and to visualize the long-term results.

Step 3

Clean and Disinfect the Skin

Carefully removing all traces of gel, make-up and oil film is an essential step in the microneedling treatment. It is also important to thoroughly disinfect the skin in order to create an adequate and sterile canvas for the procedure.

Step 4

Apply a Numbing Gel

Desensitizing the skin with a lidocaine-based anesthetic gel will reduce the discomfort felt during treatment. This product is applied and left on clean skin for about 45 minutes before treatment.

Step 5

Microneedling Treatment

The treatment consists of applying the single-use tip with light pressure to the skin for the needles to cause micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural repair process. The movements of the tip are controlled and precise. An overlapping of the tip between each pass ensures that the tip passes over all areas to be treated, with no gaps between them. On certain more affected areas, the technician may choose to make a second pass to obtain more results. After the 45-minute topical anesthesia application, the treatment itself can take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

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.
