At FACET Dermatology, microneedling in Toronto activates your skin’s natural healing response to improve tone, texture, and firmness. Using the Eclipse MicroPen Elite, our providers create precise micro-channels that stimulate collagen and elastin, soften fine lines and acne scars, and enhance product absorption. Results are natural-looking with minimal downtime and are safe for most skin types, year-round.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries at the surface of the skin. These tiny channels trigger a repair response that increases collagen and elastin, helping skin look smoother, firmer, and more even. The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, abdomen, and arms. Because the channels also enhance topical penetration, targeted serums and growth factor–rich products work more effectively after treatment.

How microneedling works

Your provider glides the Eclipse MicroPen across the skin to create uniform micro-channels. This prompts cellular turnover and new collagen formation while keeping surrounding tissue intact for a quicker recovery. Most patients describe a sandpapery sensation; topical numbing can be applied for added comfort. As the skin heals, texture refines, pores appear smaller, and discoloration gradually fades.

What Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling improves a wide range of tone and texture concerns with a natural, regenerative approach. It is suitable for most skin types, including deeper complexions, and can be scheduled any time of year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microneedling safe?

Yes. Microneedling with the Eclipse MicroPen Elite uses sterile, single-use tips and is Health Canada and FDA cleared. When performed by trained providers, it is safe for most skin types.

Does microneedling hurt?

Most patients find it very tolerable, describing a scratchy or sandpapery feeling. We can apply topical numbing for added comfort.

How many treatments will I need?

For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Your plan may vary based on your goals and skin condition.

What is the downtime after a microneedling treatment?

Expect redness and a feeling of tightness for 24–72 hours. You may also experience mild flaking. Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours, unless advised otherwise.

When will I see microneedling results and how long do they last?

A fresh glow appears within days. Texture, scars, and lines improve gradually over 4–6 weeks as collagen forms. Results last for months and are maintained with periodic treatments and good skincare.

Who is a good candidate for microneedling?

Microneedling is ideal for men and women seeking improvement in acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and mild laxity. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those on isotretinoin within 6 months, or for anyone with active infections, open lesions, or a history of keloids.

How should I prepare for a microneedling treatment?

Avoid tanning and sunburn, retinoids, exfoliants, waxing, and alcohol for several days prior. Do not wax or use depilatories for one week before. Arrive with clean skin. If you get cold sores, ask your doctor about antiviral prophylaxis.

What is the aftercare for microneedling treatments?

Keep skin clean and hydrated. Avoid makeup for 24 hours and skip active ingredients such as retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs for at least 3 days. Wear SPF 30 or higher daily and avoid hot yoga, saunas, and swimming for 24–48 hours.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Results can be enhanced with targeted serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during or after treatment. Your provider will recommend safe pairings and timing based on your plan.

Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Microneedling is a colour-blind treatment that is generally safe for deeper skin tones, with low risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation when performed properly. Your provider will customize settings for your skin.
