Microneedling
The Glow That Goes Deep
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin, boosting collagen production and encouraging natural skin renewal. It’s safe for many skin types, takes under an hour, and offers great results with minimal downtime. This treatment helps smooth fine lines, improve texture, brighten dullness, and reduce the look of acne scarring — giving your skin a firmer, fresher, more radiant appearance.
Microneedling for Real, Lasting Change
Your skin deserves the best, which is why we use the MicroPen EVO — a Health Canada–approved, medical-grade device known for its safety, precision, and reliability. With adjustable needle depth, every treatment can be personalized to your specific concerns. We picked this top-tier device so you can feel confident knowing your skin is in trusted, professional hands.
Our Microneedling Treatments
The MicroPen EVO is designed for precision, safety, and customization, allowing us to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin with absolute consistency. This level of accuracy is what sets medical-grade devices apart — every pass is even, every treatment is predictable, and every result is smoother, brighter, and more refined.
One of the biggest advantages of the MicroPen EVO is its adjustable needle depth. This means we can tailor your treatment to exactly what your skin needs — whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, texture, or overall rejuvenation. Unlike basic or cosmetic microneedling tools, this device reaches the optimal depth needed to actually stimulate collagen and elastin production safely and effectively.
It is also engineered with advanced features to protect your skin barrier, minimize downtime, and ensure your treatment feels as comfortable as possible. The MicroPen EVO has undergone rigorous testing and meets strict medical-grade standards, giving you peace of mind knowing your skin is being treated with one of the safest and most reliable devices available.
We chose this system because it aligns with everything we value at Rejuv U: quality, integrity, and results you can see and feel. When it comes to your skin, we want the best — and the MicroPen EVO helps us deliver exactly that.
Why Our Microneedling Device Stands Out
FAQ
We know choosing the right treatment can feel overwhelming, so we’ve put together answers to the most common questions we hear about microneedling.
-
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This activates your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin.
-
Microneedling targets many common skin concerns, including acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven tone and texture, and general skin health — helping your complexion look smoother, brighter, and more refined.
-
Before your first treatment, you’ll have a consultation so we can chat about your skin, your goals, and everything you need to know for pre- and post-care. When your appointment begins, we apply a topical numbing cream to help minimize any discomfort and keep the experience as comfortable as possible.
-
Your skin will be red and may feel sensitive after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically fade within 48 hours. You will receive an aftercare kit with products and instructions to help you care for your skin in the days that follow. Once your skin has healed, usually within about a week, you will begin to notice improvements and a natural, healthy glow.
-
To achieve the best results, we typically recommend a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. During your consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan, and the number of sessions needed will vary depending on your skin and goals.
-
You may not be a candidate for microneedling if you have:
Pregnancy
Use of Accutane within the last 6 months
Active cold sores or infection
Cystic or inflamed acne
A history of keloid scarring
Allergies to topical lidocaine
Recent sunburn
If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to assess during a consultation.

To ensure the best results, please:
Stop using active skincare (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, hydroquinone, topical antibiotics) 5 to 7 days before treatment.
Avoid laser, IPL, and chemical peels in the treatment area for 2 weeks.
Avoid waxing, depilatory creams, and electrolysis for 5 to 7 days.
Take an antiviral 2 days before and the day of your appointment if you are prone to cold sores.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen) for 3 days before, as they can interfere with your skin’s natural healing process.
-
Your skin may feel warm, tight, or sensitive, similar to a sunburn. Redness and pinpoint bruising are completely normal.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 5 to 7 days and do not ice the skin.
Wait at least 4 hours before cleansing with cool water.
Apply SPF 30 after 24 hours and avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks.
Avoid sweating, strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 to 48 hours.
-
Mineral makeup may be used after 48 hours if the skin is no longer irritated.
You may return to your regular skincare routine 5 to 7 days after your appointment.
Some dryness and flaking is normal during healing — do not pick or exfoliate the skin.
Keep your skin hydrated with gentle, soothing products.
