What Microneedling Does
Microneedling uses medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These trigger your body's collagen response. New collagen and elastin form in the dermis layer. This creates structural improvement that skincare products cannot achieve alone.
This treatment reaches where collagen lives. It stimulates real cellular renewal, not just surface changes.
What Microneedling Treats in Vancouver
Acne scars and textural irregularities
Fine lines and loss of firmness
Enlarged pores
Uneven tone and dullness
Sun damage and early aging signs
Hyperpigmentation
Our 60-Minute Treatment Process
01. Consultation and Assessment
We review your skin goals, health history, and contraindications.
02. Numbing and Relaxation
While topical anesthetic takes effect, you receive scalp, neck, and shoulders massage. You also receive hand and arm massage while the LED mask is working after microneedling. We believe even medical-grade treatment can be relaxing and enjoyable.
04. LED Light Therapy
Red light therapy follows immediately after microneedling. It reduces inflammation and supports cellular repair. This accelerates healing. LED therapy is included, not an extra charge.
03. Precision Microneedling
Professional device treatment covers your full face and neck. Needle depth is calibrated for your skin type and treatment area. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes.
05. Recovery Products
Barrier-supporting serums and moisturizers finish the treatment. These create optimal conditions for collagen formation.
Results Timeline
Most Vancouver clients achieve best results with 3-6 treatments. Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Acne scars typically need 4-6+ sessions depending on depth. Here’s a typical timeline:
Days 1-3: Initial Response:
Your skin looks plumper and more radiant. This comes from increased circulation. Redness fades within 24-48 hours for most clients.
Weeks 2-4: Texture Improvement:
Skin becomes smoother. Pores look refined. Tone evens out. This happens as new collagen forms.
Months 2-6: Progressive Transformation:
Collagen continues remodeling. Firmness builds. Acne scars fade. Structural improvement becomes lasting.
Why Topaz Includes More
Many Vancouver clinics charge extra for neck treatment and LED therapy. We include both because they're essential for complete results.
Neck Inclusion: Your neck ages visibly. It responds well to microneedling. Treating a face without treating the neck creates contrast. We treat both for complete rejuvenation.
LED Light Therapy: Red light reduces inflammation after treatment. It supports faster healing. It enhances collagen formation. This is strategic treatment planning, not optional luxury.
Transparent Pricing: $350 includes everything. No surprise add-ons, no pressure tactics.
Enhanced Results: Microneedling + BioRePeel
Combine microneedling with BioRePeel for $470 total ($120 additional).
BioRePeel is a biphasic chemical peel. It speeds up cell turnover while microneedling builds collagen. Together they deliver:
Faster pigmentation improvement
Enhanced brightness and clarity
Deeper texture refinement
More dramatic per-session results
The peel is applied during the microneedling session, before LED therapy. The micro-channels help it penetrate deeper for better results.
Best for stubborn hyperpigmentation or significant sun damage. Also ideal if you want the greatest improvement per session.

7 Days Before:
Stop all retinol and retinoids
Stop using any acid products (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs)

Aftercare and Downtime
Hours 0-12: Your skin looks pink to red, like moderate sunburn. You may feel mild warmth and sensitivity. No makeup. No touching your face. No sweating.
Days 1-2: Redness peaks then fades. Possible mild swelling. Avoid sun, heat, exercise, and swimming. Use only approved gentle products. Wear mineral SPF 30+.
Days 3-5: Light flaking is possible as old surface skin sheds. Skin appears smoother and refreshed. Continue a gentle routine. Stay hydrated. Don't pick at flaking areas.
Week 2+: Resume normal skincare after 7-10 days. This includes retinol and acids. Collagen production continues for months. Results keep building.
Proper sun protection is essential for best results. It also prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Microneedling Questions Answered
-
With proper numbing, most clients find it tolerable. You'll feel pressure rather than pain. Sensitivity varies by area. The forehead is usually more sensitive and cheeks are most comfortable. Areas near bone (around the nose) can feel more ticklish.
-
Both stimulate collagen but through different mechanisms. Lasers use heat energy, microneedling uses controlled mechanical injury.
Microneedling advantages: Safe for all skin tones. No risk of heat-induced hyperpigmentation. Predictable downtime. Lower cost per session. Less risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation in melanin-rich skin.
When lasers work better: Specific vascular issues, very deep pigmentation, larger treatment areas.
Many Vancouver clients choose microneedling for its safety across all skin tones. Results are also reliable.

Professional devices reach 0.25mm in depth with precise control. They access the dermis layer where collagen forms. At-home devices max out at 0.25mm for safety. They treat only the surface.
Professional treatment delivers structural collagen induction. At-home devices provide superficial stimulation with minimal long-term impact.
For acne scars, texture concerns, and measurable collagen building, professional treatment is essential.
-
Active acne, infections, or open wounds
Active eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea flares
Keloid scarring tendency
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Isotretinoin (Accutane) use within 6 months
Blood clotting disorders or poor wound healing
Thorough consultation ensures safety and appropriateness.
-
Microneedling builds collagen around pore walls, creating a tighter, more refined appearance. Pores don't physically shrink, but visible improvement is progressive over multiple treatments.
-
Yes, especially combined with brightening treatments like BioRePeel. However, melasma is complex (hormonal and sun-triggered), requiring customized protocols and realistic expectations.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injury responds very well to microneedling.
-
Fall and winter offer lower sun exposure, making aftercare easier. But, microneedling works year-round with diligent mineral SPF 30+ use. It is also best to avoid sun exposure for 2+ weeks post-treatment.
-
After treatment, it's best to wait a minimum of 12-24 hours. When resuming, use clean brushes and mineral-based products for the first few days to avoid bacterial introduction or irritation.
