FAQ

Microneedling in Calgary: common questions

How is microneedling different from Morpheus8?

Standard microneedling uses needles alone to trigger collagen production. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles, which heats deeper skin layers for stronger tightening. Both improve skin, but Morpheus8 is more aggressive and tends to deliver more dramatic remodeling — it also costs more.

Does microneedling hurt?

Numbing cream is applied for 20–30 minutes beforehand, so most people tolerate it well. You'll feel pressure and a vibrating sensation, with more sensitivity over bony areas like the forehead. Discomfort is brief and manageable.

How many sessions do I need?

Most concerns need 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Acne scarring often requires the upper end (6+); general skin quality and fine lines may only need 3. Results build progressively with each session.

What's the downtime?

Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours, sometimes with slight swelling. By day 3, most people are back to normal with a noticeable glow. Avoid makeup, retinoids, and active exfoliants for 24–48 hours.

Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes — because microneedling targets depth rather than pigment, it carries a much lower risk of pigmentation changes than many lasers. This makes it one of the more inclusive options for skin remodeling.

What is "microneedling with PRP"?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is drawn from your own blood and applied during microneedling. The micro-channels help the growth factors penetrate, enhancing healing and collagen response. It costs more but is popular for acne scarring and anti-aging.
