Microneedling with INNOPen
Collagen Induction Therapy.
Microneedling involves fine punctures into the skins surface stimulating both Collagen and Elastin production. This can result in the reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles. It reduces both Pigmentation and Acne Scars. It can also reduce the appearance of Stretch Marks. This treatment involves the application of a topical anaesthetic followed by treatment with INNOPen which involves micro punctures of varying depths into the skins surface. Clients should avoid exposure to sun for a few days as well as the use of AHA's BHA's or products containing retinols. Clients can return to regular skin care routines in approximately 7 days and can expect to see results in approximately 14 days. Generally a series of 4-6 treatments is recommended approximately 1 month apart.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses medical-grade devices to puncture the top layer of skin with microscopic needles. These controlled micro-injuries signal the skin to repair itself, stimulating collagen and elastin — essential for smooth, healthy texture.
In Edmonton and Sherwood Park, professional microneedling is performed by trained technicians using sterile devices for safe and consistent results.
Microneedling Benefits
1. Stimulates Collagen & Elastin
One of the biggest microneedling benefits is its ability to boost collagen and elastin production — key proteins that improve elasticity and firmness, helping to combat sagging and aging.
2. Reduces Acne Scars
Microneedling is widely used to reduce the appearance of acne scars, helping smooth out indentations and uneven texture.
3. Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By encouraging natural repair processes, microneedling helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles, revealing a fresher, more youthful look.
4. Shrinks Large Pores
Microneedling can refine and reduce large pores, making skin look smoother and more even.
5. Improves Skin Tone & Texture
It helps improve skin texture, reducing rough patches, pigmentation irregularities, and subtle scars.
6. Anti-Aging Benefits
By promoting collagen production, microneedling delivers powerful anti-aging effects, including deeper hydration and firmer skin.
What Conditions Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is effective for a wide range of cosmetic skin concerns, including:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Sun-damaged skin
- Rough skin texture
- Loss of skin firmness
- Dehydrated or crepey skin
- Mild facial scarring (non-acne related)
- Surgical scars (fully healed)
- Post-inflammatory redness
- Uneven skin smoothness
- Skin thinning due to aging
- Poor product absorption
- Skin congestion
- Mild melasma (when appropriate)
- Reduced skin elasticity
How Long Does Microneedling Last?
Microneedling results are cumulative — with each session building on the last. Many clients notice improvements after the first session, but optimal results typically require a series of treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
To maintain anti-aging benefits and skin health, follow-up or maintenance sessions are recommended based on your goals.
