Microneedling in Calgary
Stimulate Collagen. Renew Skin. Reveal Radiance.
Microneedling is a clinically proven skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing response to boost collagen and elastin production. At Preventous Cosmetic Medicine in Calgary, we use medical-grade microneedling to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and restore your natural glow, without surgery or harsh chemicals.
Whether you’re looking to target fine lines, scarring, or early signs of sun damage, microneedling offers a natural, minimally invasive path to visibly healthier skin.
- Stimulates collagen production naturally
- Improves tone, texture & firmness
- Minimal downtime & long-lasting results
What to Expect
Microneedling treatments typically take about 60 minutes, including prep and post-care. The procedure creates hundreds of microscopic channels in the skin, triggering a natural healing response that encourages collagen and elastin synthesis.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few days, with some light flaking as your skin regenerates.
Key Benefits of Microneedling
- Helps stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Helps reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Minimizes sun damage and pigmentation
- Firms lax or thinning skin
- Enhances serum absorption significantly during treatment
What Conditions Can Be Treated?
Microneedling is effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, aging skin, acne scarring, blemishes, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, thin skin, and mild skin laxity caused by premature aging.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling uses a precision device equipped with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin while improving the skin’s ability to absorb active ingredients. This process helps reveal smoother, firmer, and more refined-looking skin, without invasive procedures.
Downtime
Redness and swelling may occur for up to 72 hours post-treatment, along with minor flaking after a few days. Most patients experience full recovery within a week, with no need to pause daily activities.
Maintenance
We typically recommend a series of 4 to 6 monthly treatments for best results, with maintenance every 6–12 months depending on your skin goals. Full results from collagen remodelling are usually seen within 4–6 months after your final session.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What does microneedling treat?
Microneedling effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, blemishes, pigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, thinning skin, and mild skin laxity caused by premature aging. It improves overall tone, texture, and firmness.
02 How many sessions do I need?
For best results, we typically recommend a series of 4–6 monthly treatments, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months depending on your skin goals.
03Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients find microneedling very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, and you may feel only mild pressure or tingling during the procedure.
04What should I expect after treatment?
Immediately after, you may experience redness, swelling, and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within 1–3 days, with light flaking as the skin regenerates. Full recovery typically occurs within a week.
05Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours after treatment to allow the skin to begin healing. After this period, mineral-based makeup is recommended if needed.
06How long do results last?
Results may last several months, depending on your skin type, concerns, and maintenance routine. Because microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, gradual improvements can continue for weeks or months following your final session.
07Is microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones when performed by licensed professionals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin to ensure this treatment is right for you and customize your plan for safe, optimal results.
08Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Microneedling pairs well with treatments like PRP infusions, medical-grade facials, or targeted serums to further enhance results. Your clinician will customize the best combination for your goals.
09What skincare products should I use after?
We recommend using gentle, hydrating, and medical-grade products post-treatment. Harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or active acids should be avoided until your skin has fully recovered. Your Preventous provider will guide you on the right regimen.
