Microneedling in Vancouver – Restore Your Skin’s Natural Glow
Microneedling, also known as medical skin needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a cutting-edge solution for enhancing your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. At Belle Ame Skin and Beauty Lounge, we prioritize safety and effectiveness, using only high-quality, Health Canada-approved equipment to ensure optimal results.
Our microneedling treatments utilize the InnoPEN, a state-of-the-art device designed with ultra-fine needles to gently penetrate the skin. This process stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that restore your skin’s firmness, elasticity, and youthful glow.

Certain concerns, like fine lines or uneven skin tone, may show visible improvements after just one session. However, to stimulate optimal collagen production and address more significant concerns like acne scars or stretch marks, multiple sessions are recommended.
Recommended Sessions:
- Skin Rejuvenation: 3–6 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
- Acne Scarring: 4–6 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
- Pigmentation: 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Microneedling is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring visible improvements with every session. Book your consultation today at Belle Ame Lounge to begin your journey toward smoother, healthier skin.
The Procedure
At Belle Ame Skin and Beauty Lounge, every microneedling session begins with a 20-minute consultation to assess your skin’s unique needs and craft a customized treatment plan with our experienced technician.
Step 1: Skin Preparation
We start by double cleansing your skin using an oil-based cleanser or micellar water to remove makeup, sunscreen, and surface impurities. A second cleanse eliminates toxins and bacteria, ensuring your skin is ready for treatment.
Step 2: Numbing Cream Application
To alleviate discomfort, a topical numbing lotion is used before the procedure. Allowing for the use of needle depths between 1.0 to 1.5 mm to achieve effective results without causing irritation.
Step 3: Microneedling Procedure
Our experienced technician uses the InnoPEN, a microneedling device approved by Health Canada, to carry out the treatment. The device creates small channels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps rejuvenate and improve the appearance of your skin.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Mask
The session concludes with a soothing, hydrating mask to calm any inflammation and deeply moisturize your skin, leaving it refreshed and rejuvenated.
Aftercare Instructions
Before you leave, we’ll provide detailed at-home care instructions to help protect and enhance your results. Follow these guidelines for optimal skin recovery and long-lasting improvements.
What To Expect After
Day 1:
Following your microneedling session, your skin may look red and slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness usually fades within a few hours.
- After 24 hours, you may gently cleanse your face and resume applying makeup, lotions, and other skincare products.
- Avoid products with glycolic acids as they may cause dryness or irritation.
- Minimize sun exposure and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Day 2–7:
By Day 2, you may notice your skin feeling tight, dry, or flaky.
- This is due to increased skin cell turnover. Use a daily moisturizer to alleviate dryness.
- Skin shedding may begin within a few days as older skin layers are replaced with fresh, rejuvenated skin. This is temporary and part of the natural renewal process.
- Once irritation subsides, you can return to your full skincare routine.
Day 7+:
A week post-treatment, most clients observe smoother, more radiant skin.
- Continue using sunscreen daily, and reapply every 2 hours when exposed to the sun to protect your newly refreshed skin.
Microneedling is a journey toward healthier, glowing skin. Follow these aftercare guidelines for optimal results and lasting benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with small, fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production—key components for maintaining smooth, youthful skin. This procedure can enhance skin texture, minimize fine lines, and help reduce acne scars and other skin imperfections.
Microneedling is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Most clients find microneedling to be a manageable procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce discomfort. While a mild tingling or prickling sensation may be felt, it is typically well-tolerated.
The number of sessions required varies based on your skin concerns and desired results. Generally, clients begin to notice significant improvements after 3-8 sessions, with treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. During your consultation, your skincare professional will create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and slight skin sensitivity for 1-3 days following the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn. It's important to avoid direct sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and follow the aftercare instructions provided to ensure optimal results and skin healing.
