Microneedling
Improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance with professional microneedling at Skin Serene Med Spa in Edmonton. This collagen-stimulating treatment helps smooth, refine, and rejuvenate the skin for a healthier, more refreshed appearance.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
As the skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone, making microneedling an effective solution for a variety of common skin concerns.

What to Expect & Results Timeline
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. During the procedure, you may feel light pressure or a mild scratching sensation, and most clients find it very tolerable. Appointments typically last 45 to 60 minutes depending on the area. There is minimal downtime, with some redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours.
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. You may notice a natural glow within a few days, with continued improvement in texture and tone over the following weeks. For best results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance treatments to support long-term results.
