Microneedling in Edmonton
Microneedling in Edmonton at TelePlus Care is a clinically proven collagen induction therapy that improves acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall skin texture. Our doctors use Health Canada-cleared devices including Skin Pen and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, customizing depth and density for each treatment area. Sessions take 45-60 minutes, and most patients see meaningful improvement after 3-6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Whether you're addressing post-acne texture or early signs of aging, microneedling stimulates your own skin to rebuild stronger collagen and elastin scaffolding from within.

Edmonton's Microneedling Specialists
TelePlus Care offers microneedling at our Edmonton clinic, serving patients across Whyte Avenue, Old Strathcona, the U of A district, and Sherwood Park. Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments because it improves the skin from the inside out — your own collagen does the work. We pair professional treatment with a guided home-care plan so the results compound between sessions. Unlike laser treatments, microneedling works on all skin tones with very low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it especially well-suited to Edmonton's diverse patient base.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), uses an automated pen with a sterile cluster of fine needles that create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin's surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's wound-healing response — releasing growth factors, multiplying fibroblasts, and laying down fresh collagen and elastin over the following 4-6 weeks. At TelePlus Care we use Skin Pen, the first FDA- and Health Canada-cleared microneedling device for facial use. Needle depth is adjustable from 0.25 mm (superficial product penetration) up to 2.5 mm (deeper acne scar work). For deeper concerns, we also offer RF microneedling, which delivers radiofrequency energy through the needles to remodel collagen at deeper dermal levels.
What Microneedling Treats
Microneedling addresses a wide range of dermal concerns, making it one of the most requested treatments at our Edmonton clinic.
- Acne scarring (rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scars) — depth set to reach the scarred dermis
- Fine lines and early wrinkles — particularly around the eyes and mouth
- Enlarged pores — visible reduction after a series of treatments
- Uneven skin texture and dullness
- Stretch marks on abdomen, thighs, breasts (post-pregnancy or rapid weight change)
- Hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory marks (paired with topical brighteners)
- Hair loss / thinning hair (scalp microneedling, often combined with PRP)
Microneedling with PRP (the 'Vampire Facial')
For patients seeking accelerated results, we offer microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — sometimes called the 'vampire facial.' A small blood draw is centrifuged in our clinic to isolate platelets and growth factors. The plasma is then applied to the skin during microneedling and absorbed through the freshly created channels. PRP supercharges the natural healing response, particularly helpful for stubborn acne scarring, dull complexions, and patients in their 40s and 50s where collagen response is slower. Most clients pair PRP with at least three microneedling sessions to see the cumulative benefit.
What to Expect at Your Session
Your microneedling session at TelePlus Care begins with a thorough cleanse and 30 minutes of topical numbing cream. Once the area is fully numb, your doctor glides the Skin Pen across treatment zones, adjusting depth as needed. The procedure feels like a gentle vibration with mild scratching — not painful for most patients. A hydrating serum or PRP is applied during and after treatment to nourish the freshly stimulated skin. Sessions take 45-60 minutes including numbing time. Your skin will look pink and feel warm afterward — like a mild sunburn — for 12-48 hours. Most patients return to work the next day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Microneedling has a short, manageable recovery. Following your aftercare plan optimizes both healing and results.
- Day 0-2: Skin is pink and warm — a mineral-based moisturizer keeps it comfortable
- Day 2-4: Light dryness and flaking as the surface skin renews
- Day 5-7: Skin looks refreshed and slightly glowy
- Avoid sun exposure for 7 days; use SPF 50+ daily for at least 2 weeks
- Skip retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliants for 5-7 days post-treatment
- No makeup for 24 hours; only mineral-based products for 72 hours
- Drink plenty of water and avoid intense exercise, hot showers, and saunas for 48 hours
