Microneedling with PLLA 3 Sessions — a Starter Firming Course

Microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions is the shorter entry point into our collagen-focused skin booster at IPL Lab in Montreal and Laval. It is the course to choose if you want to try the treatment before committing to a longer programme, or if you already have reasonably firm skin and want a maintenance top-up rather than a full rebuild. Each session combines the latest Derma Pen with HQ-precision needles and a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) complex. It sits alongside our other microneedling treatments and our non-surgical approach to facial lifting.

How microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions works

The Derma Pen creates controlled micro-channels across the treated area — the mechanism behind collagen induction therapy. The poly-L-lactic acid complex is then delivered into those channels, where it acts as a biostimulator: rather than adding immediate volume, PLLA is designed to encourage the skin to build its own collagen gradually. Over three sessions this gives a meaningful stimulus with a shorter time commitment.

What to expect

Microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions is best understood as a starter or maintenance course rather than a full correction. A pro numbing cream keeps each session comfortable, and mild redness for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Most people notice smoother texture and a fresher, slightly tighter look first, with any firming effect building gradually in the weeks after the final session. If you want a more pronounced lifting effect, the six-session course gives the skin more repeated stimulus.

Who it’s for

Microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions suits skin with early signs of laxity, a slightly dull or crepey texture, or anyone maintaining results from a previous course. It is also a sensible first step if you are new to microneedling and want to see how your skin responds. Every course starts with a personalized consultation and skin analysis at our Montreal or Laval medispa, where we confirm the treatment is right for you and rule out contraindications such as active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions

Is microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions enough on its own?
For maintenance or early laxity, often yes. For more established loss of firmness, three sessions are usually a starting point and the six-session course is the better fit.

How far apart are the sessions?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how your skin recovers and what our specialist recommends after your consultation.

Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Expect redness resembling a light sunburn for a day or two. Makeup is usually fine again after 24 hours.

Can I upgrade from microneedling with PLLA 3 sessions to the longer course?
Yes. Many people start here and continue with additional sessions once they have seen how their skin responds. Speak to your specialist about spacing so the courses run continuously.
