Microneedling North Vancouver
Improve skin texture, acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation with personalized microneedling treatments at Lumina Laser Centre in North Vancouver.
Our microneedling treatments use eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, supporting the body’s natural collagen production and skin renewal process.
Microneedling Treatment in North Vancouver
The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® is used in microneedling North Vancouver treatments to create minimally invasive, precision micro-injuries in the epidermis and dermis without causing open wounds or ablative damage. These controlled micro-channels close shortly after treatment and activate the body’s natural wound-healing cascade, leading to increased collagen production through collagen induction therapy.
By stimulating healthy cell regeneration in targeted areas, this advanced microneedling Vancouver treatment supports the formation of new tissue and improves overall skin quality. Microneedling is effective in reducing wrinkles, tightening and thickening the skin, and smoothing the appearance of scars, including acne scars, for a more even and youthful complexion.
1. Treatment
The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® is used in microneedling North Vancouver treatments with surgical-grade micro-needles that penetrate beyond the epidermis into the dermis, creating controlled pin-point bleeding and activating the body’s natural healing response through collagen induction therapy.
2. Healing Cascade
Within minutes, the micro-perforation channels close and the healing cascade begins. During this process, collagen-producing fibroblasts move into the treated area, enhancing the effectiveness of microneedling North Vancouver treatments and supporting long-term skin regeneration through collagen induction therapy.
3. Younger Looking Skin
With each session, newly organized collagen and elastin form beneath the skin, strengthening it from within while the epidermis becomes thicker and more supple. This gradual improvement highlights the long-term benefits of microneedling North Vancouver treatments and the effectiveness of collagen induction therapy.
Number Of Sessions For Permanent Results:
The number of sessions for microneedling North Vancouver treatments depends on the individual needs of the patient. Most patients undergoing microneedling Vancouver typically require three to six treatments to achieve long-lasting and visible results.
Results Timeline:
Results from microneedling Vancouver are often noticeable within one week after treatment. Over the following months, the body continues to produce new collagen, with ongoing improvement for up to six months after each session.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
A microneedling North Vancouver appointment at Lumina Laser Centre begins with a short consultation to review your skin and treatment goals. If you have any concerns, this is the time to bring them up.
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied. We give the numbing cream time to take effect before starting.
During treatment, the eDermaStamp by Dermaroller is passed over the treatment area to create the controlled micro channels described above. Sessions are typically completed within a single visit. Before you leave, you'll be given clear aftercare instructions to follow. Most clients are able to return to their normal routine the same day. Some minor, temporary redness in the treated area is normal.
Who Is Microneedling Right For?
Microneedling North Vancouver treatments are suitable for most skin types and a wide range of concerns. Clients typically seek this treatment for:
-
Fine lines and early signs of aging
-
Acne scars and other textural scarring
-
Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
-
Mild skin laxity and dullness
-
Stretch marks in some cases
The eDermaStamp by Dermaroller creates a controlled, mechanical micro injury rather than using heat or ablative energy. Because of this, it is generally well tolerated across a broad range of skin types and tones. A consultation before treatment allows us to assess your skin and confirm whether microneedling, or a combination of treatments, is the right approach for your goals.

Pairing Microneedling with Other Treatments
Some clients choose to combine microneedling with other services offered at Lumina Laser Centre, such as the OxyGeneo Super Facial, as part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan. Combining treatments isn't necessary for good results on its own. It can be a good option if you're looking to address multiple concerns, such as texture and overall skin brightness, in a coordinated way. We can talk through whether combining treatments makes sense for your goals during your consultation.
Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling: What's the Difference?
You may come across two types of microneedling while researching treatments: traditional microneedling and RF (radiofrequency) microneedling. Both use fine needles to create controlled micro channels in the skin, but they work differently.
Traditional microneedling, like the eDermaStamp by Dermaroller used at Lumina Laser Centre, relies on mechanical micro injury alone to trigger the skin's natural collagen induction therapy response. It is generally gentler, involves less downtime, and is well suited for texture, fine lines, and acne scarring.
RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles into the deeper layers of the skin. The added heat can further stimulate collagen production. It's often used for concerns involving skin laxity, but it typically comes with more discomfort and downtime than mechanical microneedling.
During your consultation, we'll help you understand which approach best matches your skin concerns and comfort preferences.

Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps you get the most out of your microneedling North Vancouver treatment and supports smooth healing:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF on treated areas for at least one week after treatment
-
Skip makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal undisturbed
-
Use a gentle, fragrance free cleanser and avoid active ingredients such as retinol or AHA/BHA exfoliants for a few days post treatment
-
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot showers for 24 to 48 hours. Sweating and heat can irritate freshly treated skin
-
Stay hydrated and follow any specific product recommendations provided after your session
