As we age we produce less collagen and elastin, which provides structure and elasticity to our skin. In order to combat acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores, collagen induction therapy is important. This is where Microneedling comes in:
Microneedling is a natural, minimally invasive skin resurfacing service. Tiny micro injuries are created which stimulates your body’s natural repair mechanisms, increasing collagen and elastin for smoother, healthier, and rejuvenated skin.
At Crave Aesthetics London Ontario we offer this service with our health Canada approved pen. We use single use cartridges, targeted skincare, and healing hyaluronic acid to nourish your skin.
Save on a Package of 3 Microneedling Sessions at Crave Aesthetics in London Ontario
We start by cleansing and toning your skin. We then put on numbing cream. This sits for 30 minutes. After this time has passed we wipe off any excess cream. We then secure a single use cartridge in our pen. We cover the whole devise with a single use protective sheild. We choose the correct needle depth depending on the area of your skin we are needling. We then use our Microneedling pen to create microscopic wounds with tiny sterilized needles.
The pen vibrates in order to penetrate the skin These small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heals and resurfaces your skin, causing skin to look younger and smooth. We perform three passes on the skin in order to make sure we cover all areas. We then follow up with the appropriate skincare and healing treatment.
You are provided with hyaluronic acid and aftercare to continue healing.
At Crave Aesthetics, we offer microneedling in London Ontario using a Health Canada–approved device to ensure safety, precision, and beautiful results. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied for 25–30 minutes to minimize any discomfort. During treatment, we adjust the needle depth for different areas of the skin, taking into account sensitivity, pain tolerance, and the desired results. If you experience any discomfort, we can adjust the depth and reapply numbing cream as needed throughout the session. This method of collagen induction therapy is very well-tolerated and effective for rejuvenating the skin — trusted by our clients and by us, as we also use microneedling for our own anti-aging routines.
Your skin has a cell turnover cycle which is around 28 days. You will start seeing changes after about a week but the full result can be seen around this 28 day mark.
In order to see full benefits at least 3 treatments are needed. Those with skin concerns such as acne scarring may need anywhere from 3-6 treatments.
Microneedling is a very effective collagen building procedure that is natural and offers low down time; enabling you to go back to work and regular activities within a short period of time.
Most clients will see redness dissipate by the evening/next morning and possible light flaking. Those with sensitive skin may experience redness for 1-2 days but this is rare.
For optimal healing It is important to protect your skin and provide it with as much moisture as possible. We provide you with Hyaluronic Acid which will be applied the night of and for the next few days. Within the next 1-2 days you will follow a gentle skincare routine which we discuss together. We provide after care kits that are designed for gentle skin healing and nourishment.
