Microneedling Edmonton: Rejuvenate Your Skin Naturally
Microneedling Edmonton is a minimally invasive, collagen-boosting treatment that helps rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we use cutting-edge technologies to target a wide range of skin concerns—from acne scars and fine lines to stretch marks and enlarged pores.
Our personalized protocols activate your body’s natural healing process by creating micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger collagen and elastin production, leaving you with a smoother, firmer, and brighter complexion over time.
“Microneedling is a powerful treatment for people who want to naturally improve skin texture and reduce scars—without surgery or significant downtime.”

The Before and After Micro Needling Treatment
Procedure Overview: A Video Showing Microneedling Edmonton
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 Edmonton 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.
The treatment 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.

How Microneedling Works
The procedure uses a device with fine needles to create thousands of microchannels in the skin. These channels prompt your body to produce new collagen and elastin, the key proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this results in a smoother, tighter, and more radiant complexion.

Alternative Treatments to Microneedling
While microneedling is a powerful option for skin rejuvenation, some clients may benefit more from alternative treatments depending on their goals. For deeper resurfacing, Fraxel laser or CO2 laser resurfacing offer more intensive results. Those looking for enhanced skin tightening may consider non-surgical skin tightening, while chemical peels and Vampire Facials provide effective alternatives for improving tone and texture with minimal downtime. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine the best solution tailored to your skin needs.
RF Microneedling vs. CO2 Laser: Which Is Right for You?
Both Microneedling and CO2 laser resurfacing are powerful skin rejuvenation treatments, but they work in different ways and suit different needs.
- CO2 laser resurfacing is more aggressive, using focused light energy to vaporize the skin’s surface and effectively treat deep wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. However, it often requires more downtime and carries a higher risk of pigmentation issues—especially for darker skin tones.
- In contrast, Infini RF delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen without damaging the epidermis. This makes it a safer, more versatile option with shorter recovery time, particularly for patients with sensitive or richly pigmented skin.
