Microneedling Results: Before And After Pictures

Immediately after microneedling, your skin may appear red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process and typically subsides within a few days. Over the next several weeks, as collagen production increases, you will begin to notice smoother, firmer skin. For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended.

A Visual Guide About Fractional Microneedling

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your skincare concerns and goals. We’ll take detailed photos and review your medical history to ensure microneedling is the right treatment for you. We’ll also go over the procedure, potential side effects, and costs, so you feel fully informed before moving forward.

Microneedling involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. You might experience slight redness and swelling immediately after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days. For best results, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended.

Understanding the Microneedling Procedure

Microneedling is a straightforward procedure that delivers impressive results. During the treatment, a specialized device with fine needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and firmness, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The treatment is well-tolerated, with minimal downtime and side effects, making it an excellent option for those seeking to improve their skin’s texture and tone.

MicroPen Vs. Fractional Devices

At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we use two innovative microneedling devices for this treatment: The Eclipse MicroPen and the Fractora machine.

Traditional Devices

The Eclipse MicroPen is a popular microneedling pen in Edmonton, Canada. It uses tiny needles to make small injuries on the skin. This process encourages your skin’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production and rejuvenating your complexion.

Fractional Devices

The Fractora machine takes this process further with its fractional technique. It combines the traditional microneedling approach with radiofrequency (RF) technology. The small needles go into your skin, and the Fractora device sends RF energy to the deeper layer of your skin. The RF energy heats these tissues, causing further induction in collagen and elastin production. Other comparable RF devices include Secret RF, Infini, and Morpheus8.

The Microneedling + PRP Poweful Combo

This treatment can be effectively paired with other cosmetic treatments to enhance results. One of the most popular combinations at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).

By using the growth factors found in your own plasma, PRP boosts the healing and regenerative properties, leading to even more radiant and smooth skin. Combining these procedures can maximize skin rejuvenation by promoting collagen production and accelerating the healing process. During your consultation, our expert team will discuss the best treatment combinations to address your specific skin concerns and achieve your desired outcomes.
