Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that is safe and effective. This treatment promotes the skin's natural healing process.
What is microneedling and how does it work for skin rejuvenation?
At Cosmetique by Dr. Simrat Sandhu, our advanced microneedling treatments can help you with various skin concerns, such as acne scars, stretch marks, post-trauma scarring, fine lines, and early hair loss (alopecia).
What skin issues can microneedling help treat?
Microneedling involves using a special tool equipped with very fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Micro-injuries help start the wound-healing process, which produces elastin and collagen. Collagen serves as the foundation of youthful skin, firm skin, and smooth skin.
Why is collagen important for youthful and healthy skin?
Although microneedling was developed originally to treat facial scars and signs of aging, microneedling's benefits far exceed simple skin renewal. Microneedling has proven results to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, reduce pore size, and regenerate hair on the scalp.
Can microneedling help with pigmentation and hair regrowth too?
Microneedling is unique because it is versatile for all skin types and safe. Microneedling also can take place with little to no downtime, and most patients will only experience mild redness similar to a sunburn that will go away within 24–48 hours.
Is microneedling suitable for sensitive skin or busy schedules?
At Cosmetique, we are constantly advancing dermatological practices. Our practice is regularly updating microneedling techniques and equipment to achieve the best possible results where individual skin needs can be addressed.
How is microneedling at Cosmetique different from regular clinics?
If you are looking for a non-invasive, collagen-stimulating treatment that offers long-term results, microneedling could be something for you.

Most patients tolerate microneedling well, and discomfort is minimal due to the topical numbing cream applied prior to the procedure. Little more than a slight tingling or pricking feeling can be felt during the procedure.
You will notice changes in texture and tone within 1–2 weeks after the initial treatment. However, for best results, especially for acne scars and fine lines and pigmentation, you will generally need a series of sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Yes, microneedling is one of the best treatments for early-stage hair loss (alopecia). When combined with hair growth serums or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), microneedling stimulates hair follicles and helps to prompt new growth.
There is minimal downtime with this procedure. While you may have some red skin and mild sensitivity (think of a sunburn sensation) for 24–48 hours, most patients return to normal activities the next day.
Most skin types and tones will find microneedling beneficial. It is best for those dealing with acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, pigmentation, or the early signs of aging. A consultation with Dr. Simrat Sandhu will help determine whether or not this is a treatment option for your skin.
