Microneedling Treatment Process

Your Guide to Safe and Effective Skin Care

The microneedling process at Vive Med Spa is a precise, step-by-step procedure designed to trigger your skin’s natural healing response. Each stage plays an essential role in achieving the visible, long-lasting improvements that microneedling in Calgary is known for.

Target

The first phase of the microneedling process is the target stage, where thousands of precise micro-injuries are created on the skin's surface using the SkinPen® device. These controlled micro-injuries penetrate the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis) to target specific problem areas like acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores.

Skin Cell Regeneration

During this regeneration stage, the body’s natural healing response activates. Fibroblasts, growth factors, and immune cells are sent to the treatment area to repair the skin. The process stimulates the production of new skin cells and blood vessels, helping to improve skin texture, reduce redness, and boost overall skin tone.

Remodeling

The final stage of the microneedling process is the remodelling phase, where the skin's deeper layers begin to transform. This phase can continue for 3-6 months post-treatment as new collagen and elastin are produced, making the skin firmer, stronger, and more elastic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Painful Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated by most clients. During the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the skin, minimizing any discomfort. Most people describe the sensation as a mild tingling or prickling feeling. For those with sensitive skin, we take extra precautions to ensure your comfort throughout the session.

How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?

The results of microneedling in Calgary can last from 3 to 6 months, depending on your skin type and the number of sessions. As collagen production continues over time, you may see gradual improvement for several weeks after treatment. For long-term results, we recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.

Is There Downtime or Side Effects After Microneedling?

Downtime is minimal, with most clients experiencing only 24 to 48 hours of mild redness, similar to a sunburn. You may also notice some flaking, tightness, or dryness as the skin sheds dead cells. Microneedling side effects are typically mild and temporary, but our clinicians provide aftercare instructions to help you manage any symptoms and protect your skin.

How Many Microneedling Sessions Are Recommended for the Best Results?

The number of sessions needed depends on your skin concerns and treatment goals. For general skin rejuvenation, 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended. For more advanced issues like acne scars or stretch marks, 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Our team creates a personalized treatment plan to meet your unique needs.

When Will I See Results?

Initial results are visible within 7-10 days, but the most significant improvements appear after 3-4 weeks as the body produces more collagen and elastin. This process continues for several months, with your skin becoming smoother, firmer, and more even-toned over time. For the best results, a series of sessions is recommended.

How Do I Prepare for a Microneedling Treatment?

Yes, to prepare for your microneedling treatment in Calgary, you should:

Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products for 3-5 days before treatment.
Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to prevent irritation.
Do not use blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen for 48 hours before treatment.
Avoid waxing or laser treatments on the treatment area for at least a week.
Our clinicians will provide specific pre-treatment instructions to ensure you’re fully prepared for your microneedling session.

There are a number of high end medi spas within a few minutes of my home but I always choose to make the trip to Vive and would not go anywhere else. They offer quality services and products which deliver noticeable results. But what makes them really stand out are the incredible staff. Everyone is helpful, knowledgeable, and treat me with such care and attention. From the moment I walk in the door we are all smiling and laughing like old friends. They are the absolute best and I highly recommend everyone at Vive. Thank you!
