What Is Microneedling?
How Collagen Induction Therapy Works
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses a device with fine needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body's natural wound-healing response — flooding the area with collagen and elastin.
The result? Visibly smoother skin, reduced acne scars, tighter pores, and a firmer, more youthful complexion — all using your body's own healing power.
Results begin to appear within 2–4 weeks and continue improving for up to 6 months after your final session.
Microneedling FAQs — Toronto
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling causes minimal discomfort. We apply a topical numbing cream 30–45 minutes before treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching.
How many sessions do I need?
For acne scarring, most clients need 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For general rejuvenation and fine lines, 3–4 sessions are typical. Your specialist will recommend a personalized plan.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Expect mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activities the following day. Full results continue improving over 4–6 weeks as collagen builds.
How much does microneedling cost in Toronto?
At Lavender Laser & Skin Clinic, microneedling is $120 per session — among the most affordable in Toronto. All consultations are free with no obligation.
