Medical microneedling in Cranbrook
Medical microneedling works with your skin’s own repair process to encourage new collagen, helping skin look smoother, firmer and more even. We perform it with Dermapen, adjusting each session to your skin.

Controlled micro-channels, a natural repair response
Collagen production slows with age, sun exposure and past breakouts. Medical microneedling uses a device fitted with several fine, micro-tipped needles to create tiny, controlled channels in the skin.
The skin treats these as minor injuries and responds by producing new, collagen-rich tissue. Cell turnover increases, and over a series of treatments skin can look firmer, smoother and fresher.
Medical microneedling is a more intensive, targeted treatment than cosmetic or at-home microneedling, performed by a trained professional and suited to specific concerns such as scarring.
Concerns we commonly treat
Fine lines and mild laxity
Softens fine lines and early wrinkles and supports firmer-looking skin.
Acne scars and other scars
Encourages new collagen to improve the appearance of acne and other scarring.
Stretch marks
Can improve the look of stretch marks over a course of treatment.
Uneven pigmentation
Helps even out sunspots, age spots and other areas of uneven tone.
Dull complexion
Brightens skin that looks tired or lacks clarity.
When to wait
Microneedling may not be suitable during an active breakout or skin infection, or with certain medical conditions or medications. We review your health history first.
Your appointment
A typical medical microneedling appointment takes about 45 minutes.
Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied for about 15 minutes to reduce discomfort.
Treatment
Your clinician moves the Dermapen across the treatment area in a systematic pattern, adjusting depth to the area and to your skin’s needs.
Sensation
Many clients compare the feeling to light sandpaper moving across the skin.
Minimal, predictable recovery
Downtime is minimal for most people. Your skin may feel tender and look pink for the first few days after each treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.
Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, especially between treatments, and keep your routine gentle while your skin settles. Your clinician will give you specific aftercare guidance.
Collagen builds gradually
Many clients notice smoother, softer-looking skin within a few weeks, with further improvement over the course of a series. Most people need between 2 and 5 sessions to see their full results.
Results vary with your skin, the concern being treated and your aftercare.
