Professional Microneedling Edmonton

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating controlled micro-injuries using tiny needles to trigger the skin’s natural healing process. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin texture and tone.

At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre in Edmonton, our expert team performs microneedling safely and effectively, reducing acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores while restoring a more youthful, radiant complexion.

What Is Microneedling Edmonton and How Does It Work?

Microneedling Edmonton is a cosmetic procedure in which a trained professional uses a pen-like device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production. Over time, this results in smoother, firmer, and rejuvenated skin. Unlike laser resurfacing treatments, microneedling does not involve heat, making it suitable for most skin types with minimal risk of pigmentation changes.

  • Morpheus8 and RF Microneedling:
    Delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles deep into dermal layers, triggering intensive collagen remodeling, significant skin tightening, and enhanced improvement in texture and elasticity.

Microneedling Edmonton Summary

Cost & Pricing

Microneedling typically costs around CAD 450 per session, with packages available for multiple treatments. Pricing varies depending on the area and individual skin concerns.

Treatment & Procedure

After applying numbing cream, tiny needles create controlled skin micro-injuries, triggering natural healing processes. Treatments last approximately 30 to 60 minutes per session.

Mechanism of Action

Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin by causing controlled skin injuries. This promotes tissue regeneration, improved skin texture, elasticity, and overall rejuvenation through healing response.

Benefits & Results

Microneedling reduces fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, improves skin texture, tone, firmness, and enhances absorption of skincare products for lasting rejuvenation.

Side Effects & Downtime

Typical side effects include redness, mild swelling, dryness, and flaking lasting 1–3 days post-treatment. Rare bruising or breakouts may occur but resolve quickly.

Procedure discomfort is minimal to moderate, managed effectively with numbing cream. Patients commonly report mild prickling, vibration, or slight warmth sensation during treatment.

Microneedling Edmonton Frequently Asked Questions

What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a pen‑like device with tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro‑injuries in the skin. These micro‑channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer skin with improved texture and tone.
This procedure is effective for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, softening acne scars and surgical scars, minimising stretch marks, shrinking enlarged pores, evening out pigmentation and improving overall skin firmness. It’s also used to enhance absorption of topical skincare products.
Unlike lasers, which use light energy and heat, microneedling relies on mechanical micro‑injuries to promote healing. Because no heat is involved, microneedling carries a lower risk of hyperpigmentation and is suitable for most skin types, including darker complexions. It generally has less downtime than ablative laser treatments.
The clinic offers traditional microneedling with devices such as the Eclipse Micropen, which treats superficial concerns like pores and fine lines. They also provide advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with devices like Morpheus8, which delivers heat through the needles to remodel deeper layers of skin and achieve more significant tightening. Some sessions may include platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) to further accelerate healing and collagen production.
Many clients see noticeable improvements after just one session, but a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results. A single standard microneedling session at Albany typically costs around CAD 450, with discounted pricing available for packages. Microneedling combined with PRP or RF energy is more expensive because of the added benefits.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self‑tanners for at least a week before your session. Stop using retinoids, glycolic acid or other strong exfoliating products a few days prior unless your provider advises otherwise. Don’t schedule waxing, threading or chemical peels within a week of treatment, and refrain from taking blood‑thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin and fish oil unless directed by your doctor. Arrive at the clinic with clean skin free of makeup, lotions or fragrances.
Your practitioner will cleanse the area and apply a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort. The microneedling device is then passed over the skin in a systematic pattern. You may feel a gentle vibration or light prickling sensation. Treatment times vary from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate, similar to fine sandpaper being moved across the skin. Numbing cream significantly reduces discomfort. Certain areas, such as the upper lip or forehead, may feel more sensitive, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Following treatment, redness and slight swelling are typical and can resemble a mild sunburn. Your skin may feel tight, dry or lightly flake over the next couple of days. Minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding can occur, particularly with deeper or RF microneedling. These side effects usually resolve within one to three days, allowing you to resume normal activities quickly.
Improvements such as smoother texture and a subtle glow often appear within a week, with more significant changes—such as reduction of scars or fine lines—emerging after several sessions as collagen builds. Results can last six months to a year or more, especially when paired with a good skincare routine and periodic maintenance treatments.
Keep the treated area clean and hydrated. Use a gentle, non‑foaming cleanser and apply a fragrance‑free moisturiser or serum containing hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration. Avoid makeup for 24 hours, and refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas or hot showers during that time to prevent excessive heat and sweating. Protect your skin with a broad‑spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week. Don’t pick at any flaking skin, and wait until your practitioner gives the go‑ahead before reintroducing active skincare ingredients like retinoids and exfoliating acids.
Suitable candidates include adults with concerns like acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven pigmentation or mild skin laxity who want a minimally invasive treatment. Microneedling isn’t advisable for those with active skin infections, uncontrolled acne, eczema, psoriasis, poor wound healing, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding without medical approval. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is the best way to confirm if microneedling fits your needs.
