Micro-needling is also known as Medical Needling and Collagen Induction Therapy. It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with very fine, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve the texture and appearance of the skin. The micro-channels the needles create, aid in infusing therapeutic serums applied during the procedure. The channels allow for greater penetration and increases the overall efficacy of the active ingredients.

TFL uses the technology of InnoPen, a medical precision tool with a unique, dual spring-loaded disposable needle cartridge (InnoTip). InnoPen has received Health Canada approval due to it’s safety and efficacy.

Micro-needling is used on the face to effectively treat acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines and uneven skin tone. It can also be used to treat stretch marks, surgical scars, cellulite and hair loss.

Micro-needling also pairs well with laser skin treatments. Treatments need to be staggered to allow the skin to heal before another treatment of any type is performed. Contact us to discuss possible treatment plans combining the two.

Micro-needling typically has post treatment downtime of a couple days as the micro-channels remain visible for a period of time. Post care products and instructions will be supplied for you post treatment.
