SkinPen Microneedling
FDA-cleared micro-channeling to smooth acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.
Clinical Overview
SkinPen microneedling at CanStrive MedSpa & Wellness Clinic is Mississauga's premier option for scar and texture remodeling. By creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the dermis, SkinPen stimulates your body's natural wound-healing process, building fresh collagen and elastin.
When SkinPen May Be the Answer
SkinPen is clinically proven to improve skin texture and address deep structural concerns. Consider microneedling if you have:
- Pitted acne scars, boxcar scars, or rolling scars.
- Fine lines and moderate wrinkles around the eyes or mouth.
- Enlarged pores and rough, uneven skin texture.
- Surgical or trauma scars on the face or body.
- Hyperpigmentation and stretch marks.
Why SkinPen Microneedling Stands Out
FDA-Cleared and Clinically Proven
SkinPen was the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, meeting strict safety and sterilization standards.
Safe for All Skin Types
Unlike lasers that can cause pigment issues on deeper skin, SkinPen does not use heat, making it 100% safe for all skin tones.
Advanced Sterile Design
SkinPen uses single-use sterile needle cartridges and a custom bio-sheath to prevent cross-contamination, ensuring absolute clinical hygiene.
The SkinPen Treatment Process
Skincare Cleansing & Numbing
We perform a double cleanse and apply a strong, medical-grade topical numbing cream for 30 minutes to ensure a highly comfortable procedure.
Hydrating Glide Application
A sterile saline or hyaluronic acid hydrogel is applied to the skin to act as a smooth glide for the SkinPen device.
Precision Micro-Channeling
The SkinPen is guided systematically over the target areas, creating thousands of microscopic channels. The depth is customized to your tissue.
Post-Treatment Cooling
A soothing Lift Hydrogel is applied to cool the skin. Your face will appear pink or red, similar to a sunburn, for 24 hours.
Post-Treatment Care Instructions
Only Cleanse with Cool Water
For the first 24 hours, wash your face only with cool water and the provided gentle cleanser. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Keep the Skin Clean and Bare
Do not apply makeup, sunscreen, or any active skincare products (Retinol, Vitamin C) for 24 hours to avoid clogging open micro-channels.
Protect From Direct Sun
Avoid direct sunlight and strenuous, sweat-inducing exercise for 48 hours to minimize inflammation and post-treatment irritation.
Frequently Asked Questions
With our strong medical numbing cream, most clients describe the feeling as a light vibration or scratching sensation. It is highly tolerable.
For scar remodeling, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve progressive, permanent tissue improvement.
Yes, absolutely. Because it is a mechanical treatment that doesn't use heat, it carries no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
