Firmer, plumper, more youthful-looking skin
Microneedling
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) uses a specialized device with fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin production.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin and promote a natural collagen response. A handheld device with tiny needles are used to puncture the top layer of skin resulting in a reduction of pore size, acne scarring, and sun damage. Most people notice an incredible difference in tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and to restore and strengthen the structural integrity of the skin.
Youthful. Renewed. You.
What Skin Concerns Can It Help With?
It’s a go-to treatment for clients wanting visible change without invasive procedures.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture and tone
- Dullness and early signs of aging
- Mild pigmentation issues
What Does It Feel Like?
We apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe it as a light prickling or vibrating sensation. The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes, and your skin may appear slightly pink afterward – like a mild sunburn – for a day or two.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
You’ll begin to notice improvements after just one session, but we typically recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, for the most transformative results.
Is Microneedling Right for Me?
Microneedling is safe for most skin types and a great option if you’re:
- Wanting to smooth fine lines and acne scars
- Looking to improve skin tone and texture
- Seeking a natural, non-surgical glow-up
- Open to a treatment with minimal downtime and long-term payoff
During your consultation, we’ll make sure microneedling aligns with your skin goals and sensitivities.
Possible Risks & Side Effects
As with any skincare treatment, dermaplaning carries some potential risks and temporary side effects, including:
- Temporary redness or irritation
- Minor cuts or abrasions
- Sensitivity to active skincare ingredients
- Breakouts or reactions in acne-prone skin
- Increased sun sensitivity (you must use SPF daily after treatment)
At InSkin Beauty Bar, we love simple skincare rituals with serious impact. Dermaplaning is a client favourite for its immediate results, zero downtime, and undeniable glow.
