Microneedling is a fast growing trend to improve skin health, tone, texture and reduce signs of aging. Available exclusively in our PS Glow Rooms, this non-invasive treatment improves the look of acne scars, fine lines, and skin texture effectively. Microneedling is safe for all skin types, making it a preferred choice for many looking to restore collagen.
*The treatment outcome will vary for each individual. The results shown above are for illustrative purposes only.
Microneedling is performed using a compact, handheld device that creates up to 1,300 micro-punctures per minute. Unlike laser treatments, microneedling precisely targets small areas of the skin while leaving adjacent areas untouched, allowing for a straightforward recovery. This non-thermal process significantly reduces the likelihood of adverse effects potentially linked with laser therapies.
Through the process of several microneedling sessions at our Vancouver clinic, patients can expect a visible firming and lifting of the skin, alongside improvements in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Microneedling treatments can be applied to the face, neck, and upper chest (décolleté).
We’ll create a personalized treatment plan by evaluating your areas of concern and discussing your skin goals.
We take the time to talk about our consent forms and answer any questions you have prior to starting your sessions.
To ensure the area to be treated is clean and free of oils, we’ll cleanse and tone your skin with specific SkinCeuticals products.
If necessary, we can apply a topical numbing cream before your treatment begins to optimize your comfort. Once prepped, we will apply gel to the target areas and glide the microneedling device in precise movements.
To maximize the benefits of your treatment, we apply SkinCeuticals serums designed to correct and hydrate your skin, ensuring its optimal health and radiance. This is followed by the application of SPF to safeguard your newly luminous complexion.
Starting from $375 per treatment.
For most concerns, we recommend a series of four microneedling treatments at our Vancouver clinic repeated every four to six weeks. If acne scaring is your main concern, you may require a series of eight to 12 treatments.
For your safety, we do not offer microneedling treatments to individuals with an immunosuppressive condition or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Treatment times vary by the areas being treated. A full face microneedling treatment takes 45 minutes.
Your treatment provider will cover the treated areas with gel and glide the microneedling device in linear, repetitive and fast movements on your skin. Most patients experience heat in the area being treated, that dissipates as your treatment provider moves to a different section of the face. Most people find the treatment comfortable, however, if you are anxious about discomfort, we recommend applying a numbing cream to the treated area at home 1 hour prior to your appointment. Ask us about topical anesthetic cream, sold at Project Skin MD® and safe to use prior to treatment.
Some patients experience minor pin-point bleeding or petechia (small purple or red dots from bleeding under the skin). This is normal and will resolve on it’s own within a week.
Immediately following treatment, you may feel a sensation similar to a mild sunburn, followed by minor tightness or itchiness in the first 48 hours after your treatment. After 3-4 days, you may experience a bit of mild peeling, however your skin should feel back to normal by day 4 or 5 post treatment.
Many patients experience a brighter, smoother complexion within a week following their first treatment, which will continue to improve with a series of treatments.
For the most part, yes. However, it is recommended to avoid excessive perspiration, hot tubs, and saunas for 24 hours after your treatment. Also, direct sun exposure on the treated area should be avoided for 1-2 weeks.
