Microneedling

What Is Automated Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive medical aesthetic procedure designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. At YMG Aesthetic Clinic, microneedling is performed within a regulated medical setting using professional-grade devices, sterile technique, and evidence-informed protocols to ensure safety, precision, and predictable outcomes.

The science behind microneedling is based on the body’s innate ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissue. When the skin detects micro-injuries, it initiates a three-phase healing response: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.

Microneedling is highly versatile and addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, large pores, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and stretch marks. The treatment is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin tones that may be at higher risk for complications with laser or heat-based treatments.

At YMG Aesthetic Clinic, we use advanced microneedling technology that allows for adjustable needle depth (0.5mm to 2.0mm) depending on the treatment area and concern being addressed. Superficial depths (0.5-1.0mm) target fine lines, texture, and product absorption enhancement, while deeper penetration (1.5-2.0mm) addresses acne scarring, deeper wrinkles, and significant skin remodeling. We customize needle depth, treatment intensity, and technique based on your individual skin condition and aesthetic goals.

How long do Microneedling Results Last

Microneedling initiates a biological process rather than delivering an instant cosmetic change. Visible improvements typically begin to develop within 2–4 weeks, with continued collagen remodeling over several months.

For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is usually recommended. Maintenance sessions may be advised to support ongoing collagen production and skin health.

Yes. When performed by trained medical professionals using sterile techniques and Health Canada Approved devices, and with a safe proper Glide, microneedling is considered a safe and effective treatment.

Most patients require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Mild concerns may show improvement after 1-2 sessions, while significant scarring or deep wrinkles typically require a full series. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain improvements.

Downtime is minimal. Redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn are common and typically resolve within a few days.

With topical numbing cream applied before treatment, most patients experience minimal discomfort—described as light pressure, tingling, or vibration. Pain tolerance varies, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Areas with thinner skin (under eyes, lips) may be slightly more sensitive.
