Microneedling Calgary

A full-face microneedling session at Lavish Beauty is $300 CAD. Add the neck area for an additional $50. Many clients choose 3 to 6 sessions for optimal results.

Most clients see their best results with 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Mild concerns may improve in 3 sessions, while deeper acne scars typically benefit from 5 to 6. We’ll create a personalized plan during your consultation.

We apply medical-grade topical numbing cream 30 to 45 minutes before treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild vibrating feeling, not painful. We adjust needle depth for each area of the face to ensure comfort throughout.

Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. By day 3, most redness has faded and you can wear makeup again. The initial glow typically appears within 5 to 7 days, with results continuing to improve for months.

Yes. Unlike certain laser treatments, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions. It works by creating mechanical micro-channels that stimulate your body’s natural healing regardless of skin tone.

Absolutely. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for acne scarring. The micro-channels trigger new collagen production that fills and smooths depressed scars, with studies showing 50 to 70 percent improvement after a series.

Yes. Microneedling delivers visible, long-lasting improvements in skin texture, pore size, fine lines, and scarring because it works at the dermal level rather than just the surface. Most clients notice a difference after their first session, with significant transformation after 3 to 6 treatments. It is one of the most cost-effective collagen-stimulating procedures available.

Yes. Unlike certain laser treatments that carry a risk of hyperpigmentation on darker complexions, microneedling is safe for all skin tones, including Fitzpatrick types IV through VI. The treatment creates mechanical micro-channels without generating heat, so there is minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our technicians adjust needle depth and speed to suit every skin type.

Yes. Microneedling pairs well with treatments like HydraFacial for deep hydration after the micro-channels are created, and with LED light therapy to accelerate healing. We recommend spacing different treatments appropriately and will create a customized plan during your consultation at Lavish Beauty.

Both improve skin texture, but they work differently. Chemical peels dissolve the outermost skin layers to promote turnover, while microneedling penetrates into the dermis to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. Microneedling generally provides deeper structural remodelling, making it more effective for acne scars and fine lines. Many clients benefit from alternating the two treatments.
