Information About Microneedling in Toronto
As we age, our natural production of collagen and elastin decreases. It is this decrease in production that causes the various signs of aging to appear. Many people have facials to help reduce the signs of aging and hydrate their skin; however, the results achieved during a traditional facial are rather short-lived. To attain longer-lasting results, you should consider a microneedling treatment (aka collagen induction therapy) at Skinjectables Cosmetic Clinic® in Toronto, Canada, instead.
Microneedling Instead of a Traditional Facial: The Benefits
As we age, our natural production of collagen and elastin decreases. It is this decrease in production that causes the various signs of aging to appear.

Collagen Induction Therapy Has Become One of the Biggest Trends in the Anti-Aging Industry
Both collagen and elastin are vital to attaining more youthful looking skin. The collagen makes the skin strong and the elastin makes the skin flexible (adding flexibility to the skin allows it to spring back into place). Today, collagen induction therapy has become one of the most popular treatments performed among skin care enthusiasts.

An Initial Consultation for Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling) at Skinjectables Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto
When you arrive for your initial consultation, please be prepared to discuss your medical history. In addition, many of our patients find it helpful to bring a list of their medications, including dosages and frequency taken, with them to their initial consultation at the Skinjectables Cosmetic Clinic® in Toronto. Also, your specialist will want to know if you take any vitamins or herbal supplements.
You should expect your skin and face to be examined during this appointment. By examining your face, your Nurse Injector can create a customized microneedling treatment plan. Your microneedling technician can also discuss other facial rejuvenation options available at our clinic in Toronto, Canada.
If you plan to have collagen induction therapy and you are susceptible to contracting herpes simplex virus type 1 (e.g., cold sores), please inform your Nurse Injector during this consultation as you may need to have prophylaxis therapy before moving forward with your microneedling treatment.
Restrictions You Must Follow Prior to Your Collagen Induction Therapy Treatment in Toronto
For at least 48 hours prior to your treatment, it is vital that you avoid using self-tanning products. In addition, for a period of 24 hours before your collagen induction therapy procedure, you need to discontinue using skin products containing retinol or vitamin A. In addition, you must avoid exposure to the sun. Furthermore, if you happen to sustain a sunburn prior to your microneedling treatment, please call the office at 416-546-5200 so that we can reschedule your treatment.
If you have previously received an isotretinoin treatment for acne, you must wait at least six months to have your microneedling treatment. This waiting period is extremely important because isotretinoin can interfere with your body’s ability to heal; thus, increasing the risk of facial scarring.

Are There Any Restrictions I should Follow Directly After Microneedling Treatment?
What to Expect After a Microneedling Treatment in Toronto
Directly after your collagen induction therapy treatment, you should expect your skin to appear red (looks very similar to a sunburn). The results attained through microneedling are not immediate because your body needs to create more collagen to repair the ‘injured’ areas of your face. However, as time passes, you will notice positive changes in your skin.
Sometimes, the skin of patients with light brown, dark brown or black skin will notice that their skin appears darker after their collagen induction therapy treatment; however, this darkening is just temporary.
What Can Collagen Induction Therapy at the Skinjectables Cosmetic Clinic® in Toronto Accomplish?
Microneedling stimulates the skin, causing elastin and collagen production to increase, which in turn causes the skin to thicken: It is this skin thickening that repairs the indented areas of the face, and ultimately imparts a plumper, firmed, tighter and more beautiful complexion.
Other issues this procedure can address include:
Fine lines, deep wrinkles and acne scars
Collagen induction therapy can be used to reduce fine lines and deep wrinkles. This treatment is also very effective in reducing the visibility of acne scars. The ability of collagen induction therapy to initiate new sking cell production makes it a powerfil solution for slowing down the aging process.
Large pores
One of the main benefits of collagen induction therapy is that the pores in the treated areas appear smaller. The pores appear smaller because the increase in the production of collagen causes them to plump: Sometimes, after a microneedling treatment, the pores actually appear as if they are completely closed.
The effects of sun damage
Microneedling can reverse the visual effects of sun damage and address issues related to pigmentation, including the hyperpigmentation that results from melasma. The blotchy, brown facial skin that is caused by melasma can improve substantially with collagen induction therapy.
Loose skin
Loose skin contributes to the signs of aging. However, besides the ability of microneedling to correct and smooth damaged skin, it can also be helpful in tightening loose skin. Collagen induction therapy is a great option for men and women whose skin has become somewhat lax.
In addition, following a microneedling procedure, your topical skin care products will work better. Generally, the actual absorption of the topical products you use on your face is relatively small (4 to 8 percent); however, following a microneedling treatment, chances are that these products will penetrate your skin more effectively. Here is why: The tiny punctures created during a collagen induction therapy treatment act like channels. These channels permit the topical products you use to penetrate your skin better; thus, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of your skin care products. Furthermore, since this procedure has minimal downtime and very few side effects, microneedling is frequently recommended as a maintenance treatment for those who are interested in preventing the signs of aging.
Who Should Consider a Microneedling Treatment in Toronto?
Individuals who want to enjoy a more youthful-looking appearance by slowing down the signs of aging or those who would like to address the signs of aging that they already have, should consider scheduling a Beauty Booster Microneedling with Redensity I treatment at Skinjectables Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto, Canada.
Moreover, you should consider having a microneedling treatment if you would like to diminish:
- Acne Scarring
- Skin Discolouration
- Sun Damage
- Clogged Pores
- Fine Lines
- Deep Wrinkles
Since this treatment does not involve the use of heat and it is totaly mechanical, collagen induction therapy is safe for use on all skin types as well as on all skin colours. Although this treatment works well for addressing clogged pores, it cannot be performed if there are infected or inflamed areas on the skin, or if there is a cystic acne breakout; however, once these symptoms subside, a microneedling treatment can be performed.
