Microneedling At Your Esthetician BFF

  • Why Book With Your Esthetician BFF?

    With over 15 years of clinical experience, you are in trusted, expert hands at Your Esthetician BFF. I am triple-certified, fully insured, and committed to strict best practices and advanced skin health education. I only invest in top-tier, medical-grade equipment to ensure you get the highest return on your skin investment - maximum safety and optimal results are the priority.

    I perform all treatments using the Dermaroller Twist, widely recognized as the most advanced microneedling device available in Canada. Built with an industry-leading motor and specialized engineering, it delivers a level of precision, comfort, and skin protection that standard microneedling pens simply cannot replicate.

    Why This Matters for Your Skin:

    • Active Needle Retrieval (ANR)™ Technology: Ensures needles enter and exit the skin cleanly at a perfect 90-degree angle. This prevents the needles from dragging, scratching, or tearing the tissue, resulting in a much smoother treatment and faster healing time.

    • Silktouch™ Needling Technology: Engineered for seamless skin glide, this technology minimizes surface resistance and trauma, ensuring a remarkably comfortable experience.

    • 7-Stage Surgical Stainless Steel Needles: Crafted through seven rigorous stages of production, these medical-grade needles maintain precise sharpness and absolute purity throughout your session, guaranteeing maximum sterility and safety.

    • Ultra-Powerful Motor Precision: Delivers flawless, consistent needle speed and depth across every inch of your skin, eliminating patchy coverage and ensuring uniform collagen production.

  • What Is Microneedling?

    Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to restore smooth, firm, and radiant skin from the inside out.

    Using ultra-fine, sterile microneedles, the treatment creates thousands of invisible, controlled microchannels in the upper layers of the skin. This intentionally tricks your body into activating a natural healing cascade, triggering a surge in collagen and elastin production (the key proteins responsible for skin firmness, bounce, and elasticity). Microneedling works with your body’s natural biology rather than relying on intense heat or harsh chemicals. It offers truly transformative results with minimal downtime.

    How This Improves Your Skin:

    • Restores Firmness & Elasticity: Stimulates fresh collagen to plump sagging skin and restore your youthful bounce.

    • Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Softens the appearance of expression lines, crow's feet, and early signs of aging.

    • Fades Acne Scars & Dark Spots: Gently breaks down stubborn scar tissue and promotes even pigment distribution to smooth texture and fade hyperpigmentation.

    • Minimizes Enlarged Pores: Tightens skin structure around pores, making them appear noticeably smaller and refined.

    • Safe for All Skin Tones with Minimal Downtime: Unlike lasers, microneedling carries a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it safe across diverse skin types.

The Microneedling Process

  • What Happens During A Microneedling?

    • Double Cleanse: Your treatment begins with a thorough double cleanse to remove makeup, oils, and surface impurities. This preps your skin and ensures an ultra-clean canvas for treatment.

    • Numbing: We apply a high-strength 5% Lidocaine topical numbing cream (Zensa) to ensure your complete comfort. While it takes effect, you can sit back, relax, or chat through any last-minute skin questions.

    • Microneedling + EGF Serum: Using the precision Dermaroller Twist, target areas are treated while simultaneously infusing high-potency Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Serum deep into the newly created micro-channels. This powerful serum signals your cells to regenerate rapidly, multiplying your collagen-building results.

    • Vitamin K Mask: Immediately following the treatment, a specialized Vitamin K mask is applied. Vitamin K strengthens fragile capillaries and calms vascular inflammation, drastically reducing post-treatment redness, cooling skin temperature, and accelerating your recovery time.

    • Finishing Touches: We seal in your results with a soothing, barrier-repairing post-procedure cream. You’ll leave with clear, easy-to-follow home care guidance to protect your investment over the next 48 hours.

  • Pre/Post-Treatment Guidelines

    • 1 Week Before, Pause Invasive Treatments: Avoid chemical peels, laser treatments, or IPL in the target area.

    • 3 Days Before, Discontinue Active Skincare: Stop using all retinoids (Retin-A, retinol), chemical exfoliants (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid), and active acne treatments (benzoyl peroxide).

    • 48 Hours Before, Protect from Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Treatment cannot be performed on sunburnt or compromised skin.

    • First 24 Hours, Keep Skin Clean & Bare: Avoid applying makeup, non-approved serums, or heavy creams. Let your skin breathe and absorb the post-treatment nutrients.

    • After 24 Hours, Strict Sun Protection: Protect your fresh skin by avoiding direct sunlight and applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

    • For 48 Hours, Skip Sweating & Extreme Heat: Avoid intense workouts, saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms. Sweat and heat introduce bacteria and increase post-treatment redness and swelling.

    • For 5 Days, Stay Gentle: Do not exfoliate or reintroduce active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or vitamin C until your skin has fully recovered.

    If you’re just looking to dip your toes in and experience the service before making a commitment, that makes sense! Even with a single session you’ll see improvements in texture, pore size and skin clarity - but like many of my 15+ year clients you’ll probably get addicted too.

    4-Session Package

    Microneedling works best when a series of treatments are performed - so whether you’re treating correctively (every 6 weeks) or maintaining your results (every 3 months) a package makes sense because it saves you $100 per treatment.
