Microneedling Montreal & Laval

Microneedling, also written micro needling and also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your natural healing response and boosts collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin firmness, texture, and tone. It is often used to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation.

Yes — the AI Skin Analysis is free with the 6- and 10-session packages, our full treatment courses. On its own it is $150 + tax and includes a full report, printed or sent by email. The scan maps what is hard to judge in a mirror — texture and acne scars, pores, fine lines, pigmentation and post-acne marks, redness — and we repeat it during your course to track your progress against your first images. It is an imaging tool that guides your plan, not a medical diagnosis.

Yes — microneedling is one of the most studied non-surgical treatments for acne scars, particularly rolling and boxcar scars. The controlled micro-injuries break down old, disorganized scar tissue while collagen induction rebuilds smoother, healthier skin underneath. Over a series of sessions, pitted texture gradually softens and post-acne pigmentation fades, on the face as well as on the back and shoulders.

Pairing treatment with exosomes, PLLA, or PDRN can support faster repair between sessions. For deeper or tethered acne scars, RF microneedling delivers energy further into the dermis — see our Dermapen vs. RF microneedling comparison to choose the right option for your scar type.

Yes. For delicate zones such as the under-eye area and the lip contour, we switch to ultra-fine nano needles that work more superficially than standard cartridges. Nano needling gently boosts circulation and serum absorption — ideal for dark circles, fine lines around the eyes, and lip texture — with virtually no downtime.

Combined with exosome or PDRN boosters, it’s a popular add-on to a full microneedling Montreal session. Explore our eye renewal packages with exosomes or ask about delicate-zone options during your free consultation.

Most people begin to notice visible improvement after one or two microneedling sessions, but a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is commonly recommended for stronger and longer-lasting results. The exact number depends on your concerns, such as acne scarring, skin texture, fine lines, or pigmentation.

If you are considering microneedling in the Montreal or Laval area, booking a professional consultation is the best way to determine the ideal treatment plan for your skin. You can schedule your visit through our online booking page or learn more about our clinic through the About Us section.

Microneedling is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified professional with sterile, single-use needle cartridges, but treatment suitability depends on the condition of your skin and your medical history. Reputable medical sources note that people with active acne, eczema, psoriasis, certain blood disorders, frequent cold sores, or a tendency toward keloid scarring should be assessed carefully before treatment.

At IPLLAB, each consultation includes a skin assessment to personalize the treatment and reduce unnecessary irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Our team can also recommend supportive options from our skin boosters collection when appropriate.

Microneedling is usually well tolerated. A professional-grade topical numbing cream is commonly applied 45 minutes to 1 hour before treatment, and many patients describe the sensation as mild scratching, warmth, or light pressure rather than significant pain. For sensitive zones like the under-eyes and lips, gentle nano needles keep the experience comfortable.

At IPLLAB, client comfort is part of every session, and your treatment can be adjusted according to the area treated and your skin sensitivity. This makes microneedling Montreal and Laval treatments approachable even for first-time clients.

Downtime after microneedling is usually minimal. Mild redness, swelling, tightness, or sensitivity may last from about 24 hours to a few days, and many people return to normal routines within a day, depending on treatment depth and skin response.

Aftercare is important for proper healing. We finish each session with a soothing PDRN or stem-cell mask, and recommend avoiding direct sun exposure, harsh active ingredients, and unnecessary friction while keeping the skin hydrated with gentle products. You can also browse our imperfections and recovery products to support your post-treatment routine.

Common short-term side effects can include redness, irritation, tightness, pinpoint bleeding, mild swelling, or slight discomfort after the procedure. Although microneedling is considered safe, medical sources also note potential risks such as bruising, infection, and scarring when treatment is not appropriate or not performed correctly.

This is why treatment should always be done by trained professionals using sterile, single-use needles and proper protocols. At IPLLAB, we tailor each session based on your skin profile to maximize results while minimizing avoidable risks.

Microneedling can improve overall skin quality by supporting collagen production and helping reduce acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, dark spots, and stretch marks. It is widely used as a skin renewal treatment because it helps the skin look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed over time.

The best outcomes come from a customized treatment plan and consistent aftercare. You can discover more about our facial options on the services page and explore added value through our membership program.

Microneedling offers many visible improvements, but five benefits stand out. First, it smooths rough texture and refines enlarged pores by supporting fresh collagen formation. Second, it brightens the complexion and improves uneven tone caused by post-acne marks, sun damage, and mild hyperpigmentation. Third, it softens fine lines and early wrinkles by improving skin firmness and elasticity. Fourth, it enhances the absorption of professional serums and skin boosters — exosomes, PLLA, PDRN — because the tiny micro-channels let active ingredients penetrate more effectively. Fifth, it supports long-term skin resilience, leaving the skin healthier, firmer, and more refreshed over time.

At IPLLAB, we personalize each microneedling Montreal and Laval treatment so these benefits target your specific concerns and show in your own microneedling before and after results.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that support collagen and elastin production, helping the skin feel firmer and look smoother — GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is the best known of them for skin-repair signalling. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles involved in cell signaling and are promoted in aesthetic medicine for skin recovery and regeneration. PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) is a biostimulating booster that encourages gradual, long-lasting collagen production. PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a regenerative ingredient widely used in Korean skincare to support tissue repair and hydration, while NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy and repair processes. Our Italian premium tier uses the V-Tech Promoitalia biorevitalization protocol, which combines PLLA with a peptide complex, and delicate zones are treated with ultra-fine nano needles rather than standard cartridges.

These boosters are often used together with microneedling to support recovery and improve skin quality, though results depend on formulation and clinical use. At IPLLAB, we source these advanced add-ons from leading Korean and Italian brands and incorporate them into your treatment plan based on your skin goals.
