Microneedling is a quick, non-surgical treatment engineered to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production to minimize wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks. Its collagen-boosting properties also make it optimal for addressing other imperfections, like enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and for restoring your skin’s elasticity. Because it’s so targeted and precise, it’s often used as a scar reduction treatment or an option for crepey skin, a condition characterized by fine, wrinkled skin that’s due to sun damage.

Microneedling, on its own, is a non-surgical treatment that works with the body’s natural processes to ensure optimal results. Your Victoria Park Medispa expert uses thin needles to pierce tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. By “injuring” the skin, it forces the dermis (the skin’s top layer) to spring into action and produce collagen and elastin. Most patients seek out this course of treatment for their faces, but it can reduce imperfections all over your body.
While effective on its own, microneedling can be paired with another technology, like radio frequency, to amplify the experience and take your skin to new heights. Check out our Morpheus8 page for more information on combining microneedling and radiofrequency.
Microneedling
The best way to find out if microneedling is right for you is by speaking to a Victoria Park expert. At your appointment, they can determine what form of microneedling is the right fit for you. They will also discuss any potential risks and side effects with you during treatment.
Microneedling is quick and easy. It takes roughly half an hour to an hour to complete. First, your Victoria Park expert may apply a numbing cream or ointment to your skin’s surface. Then, they will use a microneedling device to create tiny punctures on the skin.
Recovery time following a microneedling treatment lasts about two to three days. Some degree of redness or swelling can be expected, but this usually subsides in the first few days. Your Victoria Park expert will guide you on what to do after treatment. Normally, it’s best to refrain from physical exercise, spas/saunas, hot showers, and sun exposure for up to 72 hours after treatment. Additionally, it’s best to try to avoid active ingredients—like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, retinol, and vitamin C—those first few days as well.
