Rejuvenate Your Skin Naturally with Microneedling
If you’re looking for a gentle but effective way to rejuvenate your skin in Vancouver, microneedling may be the ideal treatment. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses tiny sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. This process enhances your skin’s elasticity, tone, and texture for a more youthful glow.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is a versatile, non-surgical treatment that can address a range of skin concerns:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Mild sagging skin
Acne scars or surgical scars
Uneven skin tone
Rough skin texture
Safe for most skin types—including sensitive skin—microneedling supports healthy skin renewal and long-term resilience. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your medical history and treatment goals to ensure it’s the right option for you.
Is Microneedling Covered By Extended Health Benefits?
When your microneedling treatment is performed by a Registered Acupuncturist, it may be eligible for coverage under your extended health plan’s acupuncture benefits. Check with your provider for specific details.
What to Expect From Microneedling: Recovery and Results
Microneedling treatments at Qi Integrated Health involve minimal downtime. After your session, you may experience:
Mild swelling or redness
Sensitivity in the treated areas
These effects typically subside within a few days. Avoid sun exposure, heavy sweating, and makeup for at least 24–48 hours to allow the skin to heal.
Visible results begin to appear as your skin regenerates over the following days and weeks. While many clients see positive changes after one treatment, a series of 3–6 sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
