If you’re looking for a way to refresh your skin without surgery or downtime, microneedling might just be the perfect treatment. At GLO Antiaging, with clinics in both Calgary and Kelowna, microneedling is one of our most popular skin rejuvenation treatments, and for good reason.
Our team of skincare experts will explain what microneedling is, how it works, what it treats, and what you can expect before, during, and after your appointment.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of healthy, youthful-looking skin. At GLO Antiaging, our Calgary and Kelowna teams use professional microneedling devices designed to deliver precision and safety, resulting in visibly refreshed and revitalized skin over time.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Once the skin is treated with microneedling, a complex regenerative process begins at the cellular level. The microchannels created by the needles trigger a controlled inflammatory response, prompting the release of growth factors and the activation of fibroblasts, cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and other extracellular matrix components. This cascade leads to the remodeling of dermal tissue, improving skin structure and resilience over time. Clinically, this manifests as smoother texture, refined pores, reduced acne scars, and softened fine lines.
At GLO Antiaging, we elevate these effects by infusing the skin with targeted serums immediately after treatment, optimizing cellular repair and accelerating visible improvements in skin tone, elasticity, and hydration. If you’re unsure which skincare treatment is right for your needs, our experienced skincare clinicians are here to help you navigate your options, assess your skin’s unique condition, and recommend a personalized plan that aligns with your goals.
What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?
Clients in both Calgary and Kelowna choose microneedling to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Acne scarring and pitting
- Stretch marks
- Rough skin texture
- Mild sagging or laxity
Whether you want a brighter complexion or smoother skin, microneedling offers a proven solution tailored to your unique needs.
What to Expect from Your Microneedling Treatment at GLO Antiaging
At GLO, your treatment experience is personalized, safe, and relaxing. Here’s what a typical microneedling appointment looks like:
- Consultation: Your GLO Clinician will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized plan.
- Numbing Cream: A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
- Microneedling Session: The device is gently moved across the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure or tingling.
- Post-Treatment Glow: Your skin may be slightly red for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to regular activities the next day.
Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, making it a popular choice for clients at GLO Antiaging in Calgary and Kelowna. You may be an excellent candidate if you’re looking to improve:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne scars or other mild scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone or rough texture
- Stretch marks or mild skin laxity
- Dull or tired-looking skin
Microneedling works well for both men and women and is safe for most skin tones, including deeper complexions where laser treatments may not be appropriate. It’s also an ideal option for those seeking results without significant downtime or invasive procedures.
However, there are certain situations where microneedling may not be recommended. You may need to postpone or avoid treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active acne, open wounds, or skin infections in the treatment area, are prone to keloid scarring, have a bleeding disorder, or have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past six months. Individuals with a history of poor wound healing or severe rosacea may also be advised against the procedure. At GLO Antiaging, your safety and results are our highest priority. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly assess your medical history, skin condition, and goals to determine whether microneedling is appropriate for you, or recommend a more suitable alternative if needed.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
For optimal results, most people require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Your Clinician will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin goals and how your skin responds to the procedure.
