Microneedling in Southampton, Ontario

Microneedling may help improve the appearance of:

• Acne scars and uneven scarring.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Enlarged pores.
• Rough or uneven skin texture.
• Uneven skin tone and selected pigmentation.
• Dull-looking skin.
• Mild skin laxity.
• Selected stretch marks.
• Texture on the neck, chest, or other suitable body areas.

Your provider will assess whether microneedling is appropriate for your specific concern. Deeper scars, active acne, severe laxity, or some pigmentation conditions may require another treatment or a combined plan.

Potential benefits include:

• Collagen-supporting skin rejuvenation.
• Smoother-looking skin texture.
• Improvement in the appearance of selected scars and pores.
• Support for firmer-looking skin.
• Treatment of selected face and body areas.
• A customizable treatment depth.
• Minimal recovery for many suitable clients.

Microneedling creates controlled injury, so temporary redness, sensitivity, or swelling can occur. It should be performed with sterile, appropriate equipment by a trained professional.

Allure uses the Dr. Pen, a motorized pen-style microneedling device with a sterile tip containing fine needles. After a skin assessment, topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort. A hyaluronic acid serum is applied before the device is moved across the skin in a precise pattern. The treatment depth is selected according to your skin concern and treatment area. Appointments generally take approximately 20–30 minutes, excluding preparation and aftercare.

Microneedling Add-On Options

A hyaluronic acid serum is typically applied as a glide during treatment. It supports hydration and an anti-aging effect on the skin. Other options can be added to your treatment, depending on your skin concerns and goals:

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma): Platelets are separated from a small sample of your own blood and applied to the skin during treatment. PRP is used to support skin rejuvenation and healing. Learn more about PRP.
• Exosomes: Exosomes are microscopic cellular messengers. A topical exosome serum is applied to the treated skin to support skin renewal and recovery.
• VAMP Advanced: A PDRN-based serum with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, applied after microneedling to support hydration and skin quality.

Your provider will recommend an option after your skin assessment and explain any change to treatment time or cost.

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, but it may also be considered for:

• Neck.
• Décolletage or chest.
• Abdomen.
• Selected areas affected by stretch marks.
• Other suitable areas assessed by your provider.

Treatment areas and depth depend on your skin, medical history, goals, and recovery expectations.

Microneedling may be suitable for adults who:

• Want to improve skin texture or firmness.
• Have acne scars, enlarged pores, or fine lines.
• Prefer a minimally invasive resurfacing option.
• Can plan for temporary redness or sensitivity.
• Have realistic expectations about gradual improvement.
• Want treatment for the face, neck, chest, or a selected body area.

A consultation is required. Your provider will review your medical history, medications, skin condition, current skincare, recent sun exposure, and treatment goals.

Many clients notice a refreshed appearance or glow after an initial treatment, while more visible texture and scar changes develop gradually. Visible improvements may develop over approximately 4–6 weeks, while scar improvement may continue for longer as new tissue develops. The number of sessions depends on your concern and goals. A series is often recommended for acne scars, wrinkles, texture, or pigmentation, but your provider will create a personalized schedule.

Before your appointment:

• Pause retinol and other strong active products as directed.
• Avoid sunburn and protect your skin with sunscreen.
• Use gentle skincare products.
• Tell your provider about medications, supplements, allergies, skin conditions, and recent procedures.
• Do not schedule treatment over irritated, infected, or sunburned skin.

Do not stop prescribed medication without speaking with the prescribing healthcare professional.

Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness, tightness, or mild swelling may occur after treatment. Recovery varies according to the treatment depth, skin condition, and individual response. Aftercare may include:

• Use only the products recommended by your provider.
• Protect the treated skin from direct sun exposure.
• Apply sunscreen as directed.
• Avoid picking, rubbing, or exfoliating the skin.
• Pause retinoids, acids, and irritating active products until advised.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, saunas, and excessive heat during the recommended recovery period.
• Follow instructions about makeup and skincare.
