18 October Microneedling: activating the skin's natural regeneration
Microneedling is now one of the most popular medical aesthetic treatments for improving skin quality. Whether it's to reduce acne scars, smooth fine lines, or restore radiance to the complexion, this gentle yet powerful technique delivers visible and natural-looking results.
What is microneedling?
The principle of microneedling is based on a simple mechanism: creating controlled micro-perforations on the skin's surface using a device equipped with fine needles, such as the Dermapen DP4, used at Plastie Québec. These micro-channels stimulate the body's natural healing response, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin. The process allows the skin to renew itself, become denser, and more even, while improving its overall texture.
For all skin types
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be tailored to the areas you want to target. It's particularly effective for dull skin, enlarged pores, superficial scars, light pigmentation spots, and the first signs of sagging. Applied as a course of treatment or as a maintenance treatment, it helps achieve visibly smoother, firmer, and brighter skin.
Another major advantage of microneedling is its ability to improve the absorption of active ingredients applied to the skin during the session. Thanks to the micro-channels created by the treatment, the serums used penetrate deeply and work optimally. Microneedling can therefore be combined with targeted treatments based on hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants, or even PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance its benefits.
A gentle, yet effective treatment
The treatment takes place in a supervised medical environment after a comprehensive skin assessment. A tingling or warming sensation may be felt during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated. The skin may be slightly pink or tender for a few hours afterward, but recovery is rapid, and daily activities can be resumed almost immediately.
At Plastie Québec, we use cutting-edge Dermapen™ DP4 technology, renowned for its precision and safety. Each session is tailored to your specific needs, with depth settings and protocols tailored to maximize results while respecting skin integrity.
Treatment after treatment, microneedling allows for healthier, more toned, and more radiant skin. It's a gradual, subtle, and intelligent approach that fits perfectly into a high-end skincare routine. A simple yet incredibly effective solution for those looking to rejuvenate their skin.
