MICRO-NEEDLING

No surgery. No downtime. No side effects. Just gorgeous, glowing skin!

What is Micro-Needling?  

Micro-Needling is a treatment that uses a pen-shaped device tipped with hundreds of incredibly thin needles that is run along the skin, puncturing hundreds of tiny holes in the top layers of the skin. This process serves two purposes: 

• the needles open up the skin to allow increased absorption of serums and oils into the deeper layers of the skin increasing the efficacy of skin care products; and,

• speeds up the healing process that regenerates collagen and elastin in the skin.

 These effects cause the skin to look and feel more plump and smooth, improving the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, pores, and wrinkles.

How does it work?

Dr. Gansner uses the SkinPen system from Bellus Medical. It is the first ever medical facial needling device approved by the FDA and Health Canada.  It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage.

What does a treatment include?

A full micro-needling facial treatment takes no longer than an hour to complete. Before the procedure begins, a topical anesthetic is applied to all areas that will be treated with the micro-needling to reduce pain, though most patients report some minor discomfort throughout the procedure. A thorough consultation on benefits, process and after care is provided to all patients. After the therapy, you will experience redness that lasts several days, and appears similar to a moderate sunburn. An after care topical healing set to take home is also provided.
