Microneedling for Acne and Aging in Colwood & Victoria, BC

 Your esthetician or healthcare provider will gently cleanse the treatment area to eliminate any dirt, oil, makeup residue, or harmful bacteria from your skin. Then, you’ll get a numbing cream or ointment to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Next, they will use a MN pen to create micro-injuries throughout the area based on consultation and goals that you discussed with your provider.

 Following your treatment session, you may notice minor swelling and pinpoint bleeding, which should resolve on its own within a few hours. Many people experience redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn, which may last for several days.

During this time, avoid touching your face and stick to gently, hydrating skincare products like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. Wear a zinc-based sunscreen and avoid sun exposure at all costs.

 Within a few days, redness should subside and you may experience mild peeling or flaking. Hydration is essential, so drink plenty of water and use a gentle moisturizer. After a week or so, you may notice that your complexion is brighter and smoother.  

For the best results, most clients require between three and six microneedling sessions spaced about four weeks apart. 

 Most people looking to reverse or prevent signs of aging and acne can enjoy the benefits of microneedling, but it isn’t right for everyone. Those with a history of abnormal scarring, or certain forms of cancer should consult with their healthcare provider to ensure the procedure is suitable for them.  

A consultation is required prior to your first microneedling treatment. This ensures your skin is ready and maximizes the healing process.  Microneedling is one part of the equation when healing and correcting skin.
