MICRONEEDLING BURNABY
By creating micro-injuries, microneedling works to boost the reproduction of collagen & elastin
Our registered acupuncturists use microneedling techniques to help improve skin texture & firming, reduce scars & hyperpigmentation, while also treating fine lines, and wrinkles. Microneedling is also uniquely positioned to help treat hair loss and thinning.
MICRONEEDLING FAQ’S
-
Microneedling is a minimally invasive, safe and natural way to improve the skins production of collagen and elastin. By causing ‘micro-traumas’, the skin responds by producing cell growth in targeted areas, thus helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scarring and by promoting hair growth. It is typical to experience microneedling on the face, neck, head and décolletage.
-
Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Boosts collagen production to smooth out signs of aging.
Acne Scars & Other Scars – Breaks down scar tissue and promotes new skin regeneration.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage – Evens out skin tone and reduces dark spots.
Stretch Marks – Helps fade stretch marks by improving skin elasticity.
Enlarged Pores – Reduces pore size by tightening the skin.
Skin Laxity – Firms and tightens sagging skin.
Hair Loss (Alopecia) – Stimulates hair follicles to promote hair growth.

We ask that you show up to your appointment with a clean face, void of makeup if possible! We will always use micellar to remove additional oils/makeup regardless.
It’s also worth noting that we cannot perform microneedling if you have had botox within 2 weeks of your scheduled appointment.
We also recommend stopping all AHA’s 3-5 days prior to your appointment.
-
It is quite common to experience redness a few hours following your microneedling session. It’s important to allow your skin the time it needs to heal, void of direct sunlight for approximately 24 hours. It’s also recommended that you eliminate chemical topicals (including most facial moisturizers, toners etc). You are welcome to return to your normal skin care routine 3 days after.
-
Before starting treatment we do a constitutional intake. This allows me to both treat the manifestation (skin condition) as well as the root cause! Each microneedling session will also include a tailored acupuncture treatment. We can also select points to boost energy, regulate nervous system, improve productivity etc.
One of the things that makes microneedling with myself unique are Chinese Herbal Topicals that I use in each treatment. Along with hyaluronic acid, all serums are medical-grade and hand selected to individually meet the needs of each client. You will be given the remaining serum from your treatment to take home and continue using for the 2 days post-treatment.

Microneedling can be done a maximum of once every month or four weeks, as this is the time it takes for the skin to properly heal and regenerate from the previous session.
The number of required treatments will vary from person to person, but it is typical to see results between 1-3 sessions.
