What is Microneedling?

At The Skin Studio Inc., we pride ourselves in using the most technologically-advanced skin remodelling devices. The SkinPen is an FDA approved, medical-grade device. The SkinPen creates fine pores in the dermis layer of the skin. Microneedling is the process of doing controlled damage to the skin through creating micro-channels. Your body will then create brand new skin cells to bind the hydro-gel and re-build from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I A Good Candidate For Microneedling?

If you are pregnant, it is best to avoid microneedling as it has not been tested. If you have thin blood, or skin, there is a higher chance of temporary bruising. If you deal with fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scarring, uneven skin tone, texture or enlarged pores, you are a candidate.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Microneedling is absolutely safe. It is important to follow the post-care procedures provided by our medical professionals; such as applying SPF to avoid sun burns and hyperpigmentation.

What are Possible Side Effects?

You will experience temporary redness and potential bruising (although bruising is uncommon) The controlled damage to the skin provided by this treatment is to the old, damaged cells which will then shed 5-7 days later. You will experience temporary peeling, flaking and dryness.

Which Areas Can be Treated?

Microneedling can be done on all areas of the face as well as the body.

How Long Does It Last?

You will notice a difference within the first 2 weeks. However, the skin will continue producing new cells 3-6 months after a single treatment. Your skin tone will be more even, it will reduce acne, pore size, texture, fine lines, the appearance of broken capillaries, improves radiance and overall clarity of the skin, stimulate collagen production and treats melasma.
