Welcome to Integra SkinLab, your premier destination for advanced skincare treatments in Toronto. Discover the transformative power of microneedling, a revolutionary procedure designed to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
At Integra SkinLab, our skilled practitioners use state-of-the-art microneedling devices to ensure precision and safety. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
The cost of microneedling at Integra SkinLab varies based on individual treatment plans. On average, sessions range from $350 - $450 per session and packages of three start at $999. We offer customized packages to meet your specific needs and goals.

Recovery time is minimal, with most clients experiencing mild redness and swelling for 24 to 48 hours. Full recovery and optimal results can be seen within a few weeks.

You can expect your skin to become much more radiant, hydrated, and plumper after the procedure. Some redness and swelling is to be expected for 48 hours post procedure.
A numbing cream is applied to the face before the procedure to make it more comfortable. Sometimes there is swelling which usually subsides within 48 hours. In some instances bruising occurs, which can last anywhere from 7 to 14 days. Discomfort, however, is minimal.
It takes 60 mins for the complete procedure.
The frequency and number of treatments required varies from patient to patient. For most patients we recommend a minimum of x3 sessions for best results. The results are long-lasting when combined with a good skincare routine and it's safe to repeat Facial Microneedling every 4-6 weeks.
It is advisable to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow your skin to heal properly.
