MICRONEEDLING

1. Is Microneedling Worth It?

If you're worried about issues like saggy skin, jowls, droopy eyelids, large pores, dull skin, dark spots, or scars, then microneedling might be the solution you're looking for. It's a revolutionary treatment that can tighten and lift skin, with noticeable results that last a long time.

2. How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution for your skincare needs, microneedling is a great option. It can provide the same benefits as a facial, IPL Fotofacial, BBL treatment, and laser skin resurfacing. A single microneedling treatment costs $300, while RF microneedling starts at $300 for small areas like around the eyes and can cost up to $1000 for the face, neck, and decollete. If you're interested in RF microneedling for the body, it starts at $400. MedVSpa offers a convenient payment plan with no additional charges for microneedling and RF microneedling treatments.

3. What is the Downside of Microneedling?

After undergoing microneedling, there will be no scarring, bruising, or bleeding. Your skin may appear red for three hours following the treatment, but you'll experience a lifted appearance and even skin tone after the first session. In fact, you'll look younger even after just one microneedling treatment.

4. Is Microneedling Effective?

Yes: A combination of microneedling and mesotherapy, performed by medical estheticians, can result in immediate even skin tone and glossy skin. This treatment also promotes collagen growth, which accumulates over time. Four treatments are required to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

5. Is microneedling Better Than Botox?

Looking for a way to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars? Microneedling and Botox are two popular options. Microneedling is a noninjectable treatment that can help with sun damage, skin tone, and creepy skin by boosting collagen production. On the other hand, Botox is an injectable treatment that removes wrinkles and decreases muscle activity, specifically depressors, resulting in a facelift effect. It's also a scientifically proven method for preventing aging, so it's highly sought after and frequently requested on social media in Toronto.

6. Does Microneedling Work After One Treatment?

Yes. If you're looking for a quick and effective way to transform your skin, Microneedling might be just the thing for you! At MedVSPA, Elena Zhdan and MedVSPA team combine this treatment with mesotherapy to deliver peptides and hyaluronic acid directly to your skin. They personalize the treatment plan to suit clients between 30 and 70 years old and use customized cocktails alongside microneedling. It's the perfect combination of technology that makes this treatment truly successful, and you'll see the results after just one session!

7. How Long Will Microneedling Results Last?

The effects of microneedling can last for a year and a half. The recommended treatment involves four sessions, one per month, with maintenance treatments recommended every three months. At MedVSpa, we have been successfully combining microneedling and mesotherapy since 2018. This treatment schedule is the most popular, with 90% of our microneedling clients following it.

8. What is the Success Rate of Microneedling?

Did you know that 98% of clients who have received the combination treatment of Microneedling and peptide-based mesotherapy at MedVSpa have seen results after just one session? The treatment effectively removes fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Microneedling has a cancellation rate of less than 5% and is known for its cumulative effects, such as face lifting, scar removal, and wrinkle reduction. It is the second most popular treatment after Microneedling RF at the clinic.

9. Does Microneedling Really Tighten Skin?

Microneedling treatment has received FDA and Health Canada approval for skin tightening. Using radiofrequency technology, collagen production is stimulated, which restores the skin's strength and elasticity. This results in skin tightening on the face and under the eyes.

10. What Not to Do After Microneedling?

It is highly recommended to avoid having Botox injections on the same day as microneedling treatments. Furthermore, it is suggested to stay away from hyaluronic acid fillers as there is a possibility of tissue swelling. In the case of a body RF microneedling treatment, it is advisable to refrain from exposing the treated area to sunlight for one to two days after an RF microneedling body treatment. It is essential to follow these precautions to ensure optimal results and avoid complications.

This appointment is your opportunity to tell us about your “natural signs of aging” concerns and discover whether Microneedling fits you well! During the consultation, you will talk with a cosmetic nurse or clinical esthetician and create the right care plan, especially for your signs of aging. 

11. How Often Should I Microneedle My Face?

Microneedling treatment protocols require four treatments. One month between treatments is optimal because microneedling RF stimulates collagen production, hyaluronic acid production, elastin growth, and dead cell turnover. RF microneedling official treatment protocol allows microneedling treatments every three weeks.

12. Is Microneedling Better Than Fillers?

As per RN Marina Vashkevich's expertise, dermal fillers have the potential to rejuvenate the face by restoring lost volume and creating a lifting effect. This can be achieved through the injection of fillers beneath the ligament structure, the filling of deep, lost fat pockets with hyaluronic acid filler, or the lifting of cheekbones through the use of vector geometry. In contrast, microneedling or skin needling is a natural treatment that can stimulate collagen growth and delay the necessity for filler injections.

13. Does Microneedling Make Your Face Slimmer?

Radiofrequency RF microneedling is more effective than microneedling without RF for slimming the face. This treatment not only helps patients look younger but also provides a slimming effect. However, this effect is not due to fat loss but rather from tightening ligaments and improving lymphatic drainage. At MedVSPA, we use mesotherapy with RF microneedling to stimulate lymphatic outflow, resulting in a slimmer face through ligament tightening, face lifting, and improved lymphatic drainage.

14. Is Microneedling Painful?

Microneedling treatments can be a great way to get smoother, younger-looking skin and improve skin tone. While they're usually not painful, some areas of the face might be a bit uncomfortable, like under the eyes or on the cheeks. If you're interested in trying microneedling, consider MedVSpa's unique combination of microneedling with mesotherapy. With this treatment, you can get the benefits of both procedures, including collagen growth and smoother skin. Keep in mind that some of the solutions used during the treatment might have a PH that's uncomfortable for aging skin, but the MedVSpa team is happy to apply numbing cream to make sure you're comfortable during the microneedling or RF microneedling procedure.

15. What Age Can You Start Microneedling?

If you are in your 20s or 30s, suffer from acne or acne scars, fine lines, or dry skin, and are looking for acne treatment, choose microneedling. Clinical trials have acne and acne scars treatment results in data. Suppose you are in your 40th or 50th and see the signs of face wrinkles, creepy skin, droopy eyelids, and jowls. In that case, microneedling is the best contemporary solution because it forces the skin to produce collagen and keeps your skin looking younger. Consider microneedling if you are not ready for Hyaluronic acid filler and Botox injections at your 40th. If you're young and want to maintain your beauty, consider using microneedling as a preventative measure. However, if you're approaching 50 or older, don't expect miracles from microneedling. For collagen growth and reduction of aging signs such as sagging skin, jowls, droopy eyelids, and wrinkles, RF microneedling may be a more practical alternative.

16. Is Microneedling Safer Than Botox?

Botox and microneedling are safe because they got FDA and Health Canada approval. Botox relaxes muscles, whereas microneedling stimulates collagen production and superficial cell turnover.

17. How Many Sessions of Microneedling Do You Need?

For optimal and long-lasting results, it is recommended to undergo four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart. While the benefits of microneedling are noticeable immediately after treatment, they continue to improve over time. To maintain the results, it is advised to have one treatment every three months. At MedVSPA, we offer a unique combination of microneedling and mesotherapy, which utilizes solutions containing Hyaluronic acid, peptides, and collagen peptides to enhance the effects of microneedling. We recommend RF microneedling, which stimulates collagen production and tightens skin using microneedling trauma and radiofrequency technology for more powerful and effective results. This treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing fine lines, face wrinkles, and scars, making it a popular choice among our clients who want to look younger.

18. Who is Not a Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is safe for all age groups. People who have a cardiac pacemaker cannot do radiofrequency microneedling. The other contraindications are infections and wound healing issues.

19. Is Microneedling Better Than a Facial?

Based on scientific and clinical evidence, it has been proven that microneedling is a more effective option when compared to traditional facials. While facials generally focus on the removal of dead skin cells and skin hydration, tend to dig deeper to reduce swelling and promote better circulation. However, microneedling outperforms both of these options by stimulating the production of collagen, which is essential for addressing fine lines, acne scars, dry skin, and other similar skin concerns. Therefore, if you're looking for a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution for your skin, microneedling is the way to go.

20. How Many Sessions of Microneedling Before You See Results?

Microneedling treatment combined with mesotherapy shows immediate visible results after the first session. With each subsequent treatment, there is an improvement in skin tone and texture, and the maximum benefit is achieved after four sessions. The extent to which you appear younger after the treatment depends on your hormonal and age-related turnover rate, as well as the effectiveness of your home care creams in reducing signs of aging.

21. What Are the Side Effects of Microneedling?

After undergoing microneedling treatment, it's common to experience redness and swelling for a few hours. However, these are temporary side effects. You can resume wearing regular makeup after three hours. At MedVSPA, our clinical estheticians will apply a special SPF-tinted cream on your face immediately after the treatment. This cream will cover up any redness and enable you to return to work without inconvenience.

You don't have to accept it as your “new normal”. MedVSPA Toronto cosmetic clinic is here for you to help you get from “non-avoidable aging” to “the best version of myself”.

Whether you're experiencing hooded eyelids, pigmentation, or signs of aging such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or cellulite, or you are simply a woman wondering how to address these concerns, MedVSPA can help.

A MedVSPA clinical esthetician has the knowledge and experience to assess, treat, educate, and prescribe home care to achieve the maximum result with the minimum treatments possible. 

An assessment starts with evaluating your aging type, with questions about your aging concerns, health-related history, and menstrual or menopausal history. A physical assessment involves looking at your tissue (skin, problems, skin discoloration, big pores, skin tone) and structural aging (hooded eyelids, nasolabial fold, marionette lines, glabella lines) as well as your home care assessment. The total assessment includes the history of your previous beauty treatments:

• Which made you look younger?
• How soon you saw the result?
• How long the effect lasted?

Then from the assessment, your clinical esthetician will determine a plan on how to address your concerns. This may include microneedling and mesotherapy in one treatment, individual home care to make you look younger than your age, and a maintenance treatment plan. Your clinical esthetician will write the individual treatment plan for each visit to reach your goal of looking younger and more confident.
