The Benefits of Microneedling for Anti-aging and Skin Rejuvenation

July 5, 2023

As we age, our skin begins to show signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and age spots. Many people turn to various treatments such as Botox or chemical peels to try and reverse the aging process. However, a newer and increasingly popular option is microneedling.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing processes which promotes collagen production and helps to create more youthful looking skin.

The most common use of microneedling is for anti-aging purposes as it can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and age spots over time with regular use. It can also be used to improve the tone and texture of your skin by stimulating new cell growth. This can result in firmer, younger looking skin.

In addition to anti-aging benefits, microneedling can also be beneficial for treating acne scars as well as stretch marks. Like wrinkles, these are caused by damaged collagen fibers which can be repaired through the process of microneedling as it encourages new collagen production.

One of the advantages of opting for microneedling rather than chemical peels or Botox is that there is generally no downtime involved with the procedure since it only requires a few minutes per session in comparison to other anti-aging treatments which often require several hours or more depending on the type chosen. This makes it an ideal option for those who do not have much time but still want to look their best!

Furthermore, while some treatments may involve harsh chemicals that can cause irritation or other side effects, this is not usually an issue with microneedling as it only involves tiny punctures so there is minimal risk of having any adverse reactions post treatment.

Overall, if you are looking for a way to reduce signs of aging and improve your complexion without having to deal with long recovery times or harsh chemicals then microneedling could be a good choice for you! So if you want skin rejuvenation without compromising your free time –

As we move into winter and fall, these seasons become one of the best times to begin deep, targeted skincare. With lower UV exposure, cooler temperatures, and the natural “reset” that comes with a new season, your skin is primed for professional treatments and long-term transformation. This is also why we recommend starting your 365 Day Skin Plan in the fall. It allows you to repair, reset, and build healthy skin habits that carry you through the entire year. Why Fall Works So Well for Corrective Treatments After months of sunscreen, sweat, heat, and sun exposure, most people enter fall with some level of dehydration, congestion, and pigmentation. Fall provides the safest conditions to treat these concerns because UV levels are significantly lower and the skin barrier is more stable. This makes it the perfect time for treatments such as chemical peels, IPL , laser therapy, and microneedling, services that work best when your skin isn’t battling sun exposure. Common post-summer skin concerns include: Hyperpigmentation Sun spots Dullness or uneven tone Texture and fine lines Breakouts triggered by heat and SPF A weakened or inflamed skin barrier Treating these concerns in the fall prevents them from worsening throughout winter and accelerates your results. What is the 365 Day Plan? Your 365 Day Skin Plan is a personalized, year-long roadmap designed to help you achieve meaningful and lasting change. Instead of taking a one-off, seasonal approach, the plan looks at your skin from every angle: daily habits, lifestyle, treatment tolerance, goals, and how seasonal shifts affect your results. A true year-long strategy typically blends corrective treatments in fall and winter, hydration and repair during colder months, preventative care in spring, and protection and maintenance throughout summer. The result is consistent progress, fewer setbacks, and healthier skin year-round. The Benefits of Starting in the Fall Treat summer sun damage right away while the skin is most responsive to corrective treatments. Strengthen your skin barrier before winter, preventing dryness, sensitivity, and inflammation during Calgary’s colder months. Enter the holiday season glowing , with a routine that supports hydration, brightness, and resilience. See major transformation by next summer, including clearer, smoother, more even-toned skin. Build momentum with each season, as your 365 plan adjusts to your skin’s needs for continuous, long-term results. What to Expect Depending on the treatments recommended for your plan, you may experience short-term side effects such as slight redness, flaking, tightness, or temporary sensitivity. These are normal and usually resolve within a few days. Your provider will walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect, what to avoid, and how to care for your skin at home. Your plan also includes seasonal adjustments, professional recommendations, and check-ins to keep your progress on track. Ready to Begin?

Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for your best friend, your favourite influencer, or your past self might not work for your skin right now.
