Microneedling Ottawa–Gatineau: Smooth, Firm, Clear Skin
Introduction
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), uses a specialized device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural repair response, encouraging new collagen and elastin formation.
Benefits of Microneedling
Reduces fine lines & wrinkles – smooths out early signs of aging.
Improves acne scars – promotes skin resurfacing for a clearer look.
Minimizes pores – creates a refined, polished appearance.
Evens skin tone & texture – reduces hyperpigmentation and rough patches.
Boosts product absorption – enhances the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
The Microneedling Procedure at Mahaba Wellness Services
Consultation: We assess your skin type and concerns.
Preparation: Skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied.
Treatment: A microneedling device is passed across target areas, creating microchannels.
Aftercare serum: Medical-grade serums are applied to accelerate healing.
Recovery: Minimal downtime—redness usually resolves in 24–48 hours.
Expected Outcomes
Most clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments (spaced 4–6 weeks apart) is recommended. Long-term collagen remodeling continues for months after the last session, making it one of the most effective non-surgical rejuvenation options available.
