Introduction to Microneedling
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a treatment that uses a specialized micro-needle device to make tiny punctures in the skin. The body naturally responds by producing collagen and elastin, proteins essential for maintaining youthful and radiant skin. This increase in collagen and elastin helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
Who Can Benefit From Microneedling?
Located in Oakville, Ontario, our clinic welcomes both men and women for microneedling. Ideal candidates are those who:
- Haven’t taken Accutane in the past three months.
- Have no open wounds or skin infections.
- Are not pregnant.
- Do not have a history of problematic wound healing.
- Aim to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, or acne scars.
Why Choose Microneedling?
- Reduces Aging Signs: By boosting collagen and elastin production, microneedling can make your skin appear more youthful and vibrant.
- Enhances Skin Tone: Address issues like sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, making your skin look smoother and more even.
- Minimizes Pores: Reduce the size of large pores, preventing future skin complications.

Safety and Potential Risks
While microneedling is mainly safe, some may experience:
- Redness, swelling, or discomfort generally resolves within two days.
- Temporary skin dryness or flakiness.
- Rare cases of hyperpigmentation which can be managed with platelet-rich plasma therapy.
