Microneedling

Renew, resurface, and reveal smoother skin. At Diamond Wellness Institute, our professional microneedling treatments jump-start your skin’s natural repair cycle, boosting collagen and elastin for a clearer, firmer complexion. Using a Health Canada-approved device with ultra-fine needles, we create precise micro-channels that both stimulate healing and drive performance serums deep into the dermis for amplified results.

  • Thighs & buttocks

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

  • Avoid aspirin/NSAIDs, Vitamin E, fish oil, and herbal blood-thinners 7 days before (if physician-approved).
  • Skip sun exposure and waxing 24 hrs pre-treatment.

Post-Treatment Guidelines

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

You may benefit if you want to improve:

Your frequent questions about Botox injection

Does microneedling hurt?

Topical numbing cream keeps discomfort minimal—most clients rate it 3–4 / 10.

How many sessions do I need?

A series of 3–6 produces optimal collagen remodeling; deeper scars may need 6–8.

Will I peel?

Mild flaking is common around day 3; heavy peeling is unusual.

Can darker skin tones be treated?

Yes—controlled depth and no heat mean microneedling is safe for Fitzpatrick I-VI.
