Microneedling (Face + Neck)

This service is not eligible for insurance reimbursement and cannot be billed under Registered Massage Therapy benefits. Price includes HST. This microneedling treatment provides comprehensive collagen stimulation across the face and neck for cohesive, balanced skin rejuvenation. Using a precision medical-grade device, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin to activate the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving firmness, refining texture, and restoring overall skin quality over time. Treating both the face and neck ensures that these visible areas age consistently and harmoniously. What This Treatment Improves • Fine lines and wrinkles • Acne scarring • Uneven texture • Enlarged pores • Pigmentation irregularities • Mild skin laxity • Crepey or thinning skin • Dull or aging skin Collagen remodeling develops gradually over several weeks to months following treatment. Improvements appear progressively as the skin rebuilds itself from within. The Treatment Experience Each session includes: • Clinical skin assessment and treatment planning • Double cleanse and professional skin preparation • Topical anesthetic application for comfort • Precision microneedling of the face and neck • Professional hydrating serum infusion • Calming mask application • Post-treatment protection and aftercare review Every step is intentional — designed to support optimal healing while maximizing treatment outcomes. Signature Barrier Support Serum (Included) Each treatment includes my clinic-formulated Barrier Support Serum, specifically developed to support optimal recovery following collagen induction therapy. This professional recovery formula is included with your treatment and provided for at-home use during the critical healing phase. It is designed to: • Support skin barrier repair • Maintain hydration during recovery • Calm visible redness • Promote a controlled healing environment Clients are instructed to apply the serum frequently during the first 5–7 days after treatment to protect the skin while collagen remodeling begins beneath the surface. This is not a generic moisturizer — it is a targeted post-procedure recovery formula created to complement and enhance your results. Aftercare is an extension of the treatment itself. What to Expect After Treatment Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear red and feel warm — similar to a moderate sunburn. You may experience: • Redness for 24–72 hours • Mild swelling or tightness • Temporary sensitivity • Dryness or light flaking between days 2–5 • Mild pinpoint bruising These responses are normal and part of the healing process. Collagen stimulation continues beneath the surface for weeks after your session.
