What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction, is a skincare technique that uses a specialized tool that contains microscopic needles. These needles are rolled across the area of the skin being targeted. The pins used are small enough that they don’t usually cause pain, although a numbing cream can be used.
The pins cause micro-trauma and signal the body to heal itself – this is where collagen production is triggered along with cell turnover. Microneedling uses the body’s response in trying to repair itself. This results in diminished scar depth, renewed skin layers, and overall rejuvenated and fresh skin.
Canada MedLaser Clinics in Toronto and around the GTA offers Microneedling treatment that is used to reduce acne scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles, minimize the appearance of pores, and firm loose skin.
Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. It involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers. This helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. Microneedling is effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities. After treatment, there may be temporary redness or mild sunburn-like sensation. Multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, are often recommended for optimal results. Microneedling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and enhance its natural collagen production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling aka. Collagen Induction Therapy is a treatment that originated in plastic surgeon offices and clinics in North America in the late 90’s.
Although microneedling is proven to be extremely effective at solving skin concerns, this treatment is only now beginning to get noticed by the public, and its popularity is simply sky rocketing
Microneedling is most well-known to treat the following conditions:
•Melasma
•Pigmentation
•Fine lines/wrinkles
•Acne scars
•Scars
•Balding
•Stretch marks
•Oiliness
•Dryness
•Sensitivity – yes, really!
Each patient treatment is customized based on skin type, skin concern, and desired outcome. Different products are combined with the treatment, and a 93% Hyalronic Acid Gel is applied.
Home care is almost as important as clinic care if one is trying to achieve the desired outcome. For this reason, Canada MedLaser ensures that a thorough consultation takes place with each patient prior to beginning their journey to achieving perfect skin.
Although the treatment is very tolerable, numbing cream is used for maximum patient comfort, and pinpoint bleeding is not uncommon. Bleeding will last for approximately *30 minutes, and some patients may notice mild scabbing for up to a week post treatment.
Microneedling is comparable to Laser Fractional Skin Resurfacing, and many of the indications are quite similar, however, microneedling has the capability of treating any skin color without negative side effects, and includes the added benefit of product usage during the process.
