What to Expect
During Treatment
Microneedling at Lucere involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen & elastin. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort during the procedure, which typically lasts about one hour.
Recovery Phase
Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness & swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within 2 to 5 days. It’s advisable to avoid sun exposure & apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin during the healing process. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
For Optimal Results
A series of 3–5 microneedling sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for best outcomes. Consistent use of sunscreen & a tailored skincare regimen will help maintain & enhance your results.
Microneedling Laser Treatment
Microneedling is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen & elastin production. It improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, & enlarged pores, & restores a smoother, more youthful complexion. Suitable for all skin types, microneedling offers natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device equipped with fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural wound-healing response, triggering the production of collagen & elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining youthful, firm skin. Over time, this healing process improves the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, & overall skin tone & texture. At Lucere in Edmonton, we use medical-grade microneedling devices to ensure safe, effective, & consistent results tailored to your unique skin concerns.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is a safe & effective treatment for nearly all skin types & tones, including darker skin. Unlike some laser treatments that carry a risk of pigmentation issues for certain skin tones, microneedling doesn’t rely on heat or light, making it a lower-risk option for individuals with melanin-rich skin. At Lucere, we conduct a personalized consultation to assess your skin type, condition, & medical history to ensure microneedling is the best & safest option for your goals.
What areas of the body can be treated?
Microneedling is a highly versatile treatment & can be used to improve the appearance of skin on multiple parts of the body. Most commonly, it is performed on the face, but it’s also effective on the:
- Neck & jawline
- Décolletage (chest)
- Abdomen (for stretch marks)
- Arms & legs
- Hands & back (for scars or texture irregularities)
Whether you’re treating facial acne scars, surgical scars, or sun-damaged skin on the chest, microneedling can help regenerate & refine the skin’s surface.
When will I see results?
Many patients begin to notice smoother, more radiant skin within the first 1–2 weeks following treatment. However, because microneedling works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, the most noticeable & long-lasting results appear gradually, usually within 4–6 weeks. For concerns like deep acne scars or wrinkles, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is recommended. Over time, your skin becomes firmer, more refined, & more evenly toned.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling is often even more effective when paired with complementary treatments. At Lucere, many clients choose to combine microneedling with:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for faster healing & enhanced collagen stimulation
- Skincare Infusions, such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors, for deep hydration & nourishment
- Laser treatments to address pigmentation or redness
These combination treatments can address multiple concerns in one session & provide faster, more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. We’ll build a customized treatment plan during your consultation to help you achieve your ideal results.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 5 microneedling treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin’s condition & the goals you’re trying to achieve. Clients targeting acne scarring, stretch marks, or advanced aging may require additional sessions. After the initial series, many patients benefit from maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to keep their skin looking its best.
