About

Facial Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid

Facial Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin procedure that is used for rejuvenating the skin from within. In this procedure, extremely fine, short needles are used to make surface-level pricks in the skin, which naturally prompts the body to produce collagen and elastin. An elastin boost helps to diminish signs of aging and makes the skin look younger, healthier, and clearer.

At Integra SkinLab we use the eDermastamp by Dermaroller (which is Health Canada approved) with our Facial Microneedling procedure in combination with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule. Hyaluronic acid has a unique property of binding with water on a molecular level, which helps to boost skin hydration and essentially plump up skin for an improved look and feel.

This is especially beneficial for reducing fine lines and other signs of aging that are often associated with dry skin and related skin issues.

PRE AND POST-CARE PROTOCOL

Pre-Treatment:

  • Avoid Accutane in the six months prior to beginning your treatment sessions.
  • Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or acids 5-7 days prior to your treatment.
  • Do not take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil for at least 3 days prior to your microneedling session. These will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical for your skin rejuvenation.
  • Avoid IPL/Laser procedures, unprotected sun exposure, or sunburn for at least 1 week prior to your procedure.
  • No waxing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5-7 days prior.  
  • Do not shave the day of the procedure to avoid skin irritation. If there’s dense hair present in the treatment area, shave the day before you arrive for your appointment.
  • Avoid blood thinning agents for one week prior because bruising is a common side effect of microneedling.

Post-Treatment:

  • Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications for one week after the procedure.
  • Do not use ice on your face, and avoid using arnica/bromelain. These may interfere with the natural inflammatory process that’s critical for your skin rejuvenation.
  • Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. After 24 hours, always use sunblock (50 SPF or higher) and wear a hat if you’re outside.
  • Use a painkiller, such as Tylenol, if you experience any soreness.

For best results: We recommend follow-up and repeat microneedling treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 3-5 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.
