The Science Behind the Glow
What Is Microneedling?
Lavish Beauty Laser Med Spa is Calgary's highest-rated microneedling clinic with 555+ five-star Google reviews, a 4.9 rating, and FDA-approved microneedling technology — delivering proven collagen induction therapy. Open 7 days a week at our women-exclusive Cornerstone NE Calgary location, our certified specialists use this medical-grade technology to treat acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture with precision and safety. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is one of the most effective non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments available in Calgary today. The procedure uses a medical-grade device fitted with ultra-fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. These precisely calibrated micro-injuries trigger your body's natural wound-healing cascade, which dramatically increases the production of two essential structural proteins: collagen and elastin.
Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping skin firm, plump, and youthful. Beginning in our mid-twenties, our bodies produce roughly 1% less collagen each year, leading to the gradual appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and loss of skin elasticity. Elastin, the protein that gives skin its ability to snap back into place, also declines with age. Microneedling effectively counteracts this natural decline by forcing the skin to rebuild its collagen and elastin matrix from within.
Unlike topical creams and serums that work only on the skin's outermost layer, microneedling penetrates into the dermis — the deeper structural layer of skin where collagen and elastin reside. This makes it significantly more effective than surface-level treatments for addressing concerns like acne scarring, deep wrinkles, and loss of firmness. The micro-channels also create temporary pathways that allow active skincare ingredients to penetrate up to 300% deeper than they would on intact skin, amplifying the benefits of post-treatment serums applied during and immediately after your session at Lavish Beauty in Calgary.
At our NE Calgary clinic, we perform microneedling with professional-grade devices that allow our technicians to precisely control needle depth, speed, and pattern. This level of customization means we can tailor each treatment to your unique skin concerns — using shallower depths for delicate areas like the under-eyes and deeper penetration for stubborn acne scars or stretch marks. The result is a treatment that is both safe and precisely targeted to deliver maximum results with minimal downtime.
1. Micro-Channel Creation
Ultra-fine needles create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface, penetrating into the dermis without causing visible damage to the outer layer.
2. Healing Response
Your body recognizes the micro-injuries and activates its natural wound-healing process, flooding the area with growth factors, fibroblasts, and new collagen and elastin fibres.
3. Skin Remodelling
Over the following weeks and months, the new collagen matrix matures and reorganizes, resulting in firmer, smoother, more even-toned skin that continues improving for up to 6 months.
Versatile Skin Rejuvenation
What Does Microneedling Treat?
One of the reasons microneedling has become one of the most requested treatments at our Calgary clinic is its remarkable versatility. By stimulating your body's own collagen and elastin production, microneedling addresses a wide spectrum of skin concerns that would otherwise require multiple different procedures. Whether you are dealing with the visible signs of aging, the aftermath of acne, or simply want to restore a youthful glow to dull skin, microneedling can help.
Acne Scars
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. The collagen remodelling process fills in depressed scars, smoothing out the skin's surface. Rolling and boxcar scars respond particularly well, with studies showing 50-70% improvement after a series of sessions.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By rebuilding the collagen and elastin that diminish with age, microneedling visibly softens fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. The renewed structural support from within gives skin a firmer, more youthful appearance without injectables.
Enlarged Pores
Microneedling stimulates collagen around each pore, causing them to tighten and appear smaller. Many clients at our Calgary clinic notice a significant refinement in pore size after just 2 to 3 sessions, giving skin a smoother, more polished look.
Stretch Marks
Whether from pregnancy, weight fluctuation, or growth spurts, stretch marks respond well to microneedling. The treatment stimulates new collagen in the scarred tissue, improving both the texture and colour of stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and other areas.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Microneedling helps break up clusters of excess melanin and accelerates cell turnover, fading dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. The treatment is safe for all skin tones, making it an excellent option for pigmentation concerns where some laser treatments may not be suitable.
Dull Skin & Uneven Texture
Even if you do not have specific scarring or wrinkle concerns, microneedling delivers a noticeable improvement in overall skin quality. The accelerated cell turnover and collagen boost leaves skin looking brighter, more radiant, and visibly smoother in texture.
Treatment Comparison
Microneedling vs Other Treatments
Choosing the right skin rejuvenation treatment can be overwhelming. At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, we believe in educating our clients so they can make informed decisions. Here is how microneedling compares to other popular treatments we see clients considering.
Microneedling vs Green Peel
The Green Peel is a 100% natural herbal peeling treatment that uses dried herbs to stimulate skin renewal and cell turnover. It comes in three intensity levels (Fresh, Energy, Classic) and is excellent for dull skin, congestion, and surface-level texture. Microneedling works at a deeper level by stimulating collagen production from within the dermis, making it the better choice for acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and long-term structural improvement. At Lavish Beauty, we offer both treatments and sometimes recommend alternating between Green Peels and microneedling for the best overall results.
Choose Microneedling For
Acne scars, deep wrinkles, collagen building, all skin tones, long-term structural improvement
Choose Green Peel For
Surface-level dullness, congestion, natural herbal renewal, skin detox, overall radiance
Microneedling vs Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to specific areas of the face, filling in wrinkles and hollow areas with hyaluronic acid or other materials. While fillers provide immediate, visible results, they are a temporary solution that requires repeat injections every 6 to 18 months. Microneedling takes a fundamentally different approach: it stimulates your body to produce its own collagen, leading to natural, gradual improvement that builds over time. The results of microneedling are your own tissue and collagen, not an injected material, making it a more natural long-term solution. Many clients combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Choose Microneedling For
Natural collagen building, overall skin quality, acne scars, texture improvement, long-term results without injectables
Choose Dermal Fillers For
Immediate volume restoration, deep facial folds, lip enhancement, targeted volume loss

Your Treatment Experience
The Microneedling Process at Lavish Beauty
When you visit our NE Calgary clinic for microneedling, we want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident about every step. Here is exactly what to expect during your microneedling session at Lavish Beauty.
Step 1
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough one-on-one consultation. Our skin specialist will examine your skin under proper lighting, discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and determine whether microneedling is the right treatment for you. We will create a personalized treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions and needle depth settings tailored to your specific skin concerns.
Step 2
Cleansing & Numbing
On the day of your treatment, we begin by thoroughly cleansing your face to remove all makeup, oil, and impurities. A medical-grade topical numbing cream is then applied to the entire treatment area and left to take effect for 30 to 45 minutes. This ensures maximum comfort throughout the procedure. The numbing cream is removed just before the microneedling begins.
Step 3
Microneedling Treatment
Using our professional-grade microneedling device, your technician will systematically treat each area of the face with precise, controlled movements. The device is adjusted throughout the treatment, using different needle depths for different areas — shallower around the delicate eye area and deeper on areas with scarring or more pronounced concerns. The treatment itself takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for a full face.
Step 4
Serum Application
Immediately after microneedling, while the micro-channels are still open, we apply targeted serums that penetrate deep into the skin. These may include hyaluronic acid for intense hydration, growth factors to amplify the collagen-stimulating effects, or specialized serums chosen based on your skin concerns. This step dramatically enhances the results of your treatment.
Step 5
Post-Treatment Care & Aftercare Instructions
We apply a soothing, calming mask or moisturizer to reduce immediate redness and protect the treated skin. Before you leave, we provide detailed written aftercare instructions covering what to do and what to avoid during the healing period. We also schedule your follow-up session, typically 4 to 6 weeks later, to keep your treatment plan on track.
Treatment Planning
How Many Microneedling Sessions Do You Need?
While you may notice an immediate post-treatment glow after your first microneedling session, the most significant and lasting results come from a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This spacing allows your skin to complete its healing and collagen-building cycle between treatments, with each session building upon the improvements of the last.
The number of sessions you need depends on your specific skin concerns and goals. At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, we create a personalized treatment plan during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
3

Results continue to improve for months. Collagen remodelling is a gradual process. Many clients report that their skin looks better at the 3-month mark than it did at the 1-month mark after their final session. Annual maintenance sessions of 1 to 2 treatments can help sustain your results long term.
Post-Treatment Guide
Microneedling Recovery & Aftercare
One of the biggest advantages of microneedling is its minimal downtime. Unlike more aggressive procedures, most clients can return to their daily routines within 1 to 2 days. Here is a detailed timeline of what to expect after your microneedling session at Lavish Beauty in Calgary, along with essential aftercare guidelines to maximize your results.
