Is microneedling worth it? Absolutely. Femme Laser Clinic Burlington offers expert microneedling for acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and uneven skin texture — results you can see.
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses a device fitted with ultra-fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
The result? Visibly smoother, firmer, and more even skin. Our Burlington microneedling specialists at 2202 Industrial Street customise every treatment to your skin type and concerns.
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available. Here’s what our Burlington clients target most:
Stimulates collagen to fill in depressed, pitted, and rolling acne scars — progressively smoothing texture with each session.
New collagen visibly reduces fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth — does microneedling help with lines? Yes, significantly.
Tightens and minimizes the appearance of large pores by improving skin structure and elasticity around each follicle opening.
Resurfacing stimulates fresh skin cell turnover — leaving Burlington clients with noticeably smoother, more refined skin.
Microneedling helps fade post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) — the red or pink marks left after acne heals — by improving vascular remodeling.
Accelerates cell turnover to fade sun spots, hormonal pigmentation, and post-acne dark marks over a series of sessions.
Yes — microneedling is widely regarded as one of the most effective non-surgical skin treatments available. Unlike peels or topical products that work only on the surface, microneedling works deep in the dermis to trigger your skin’s own healing process.

Every microneedling session in Burlington is performed by trained, licensed skin care professionals — never untrained staff.
We use professional-grade microneedling devices with adjustable needle depth, precisely calibrated to each client’s skin and concerns.
No two skins are the same. Our Burlington team creates a custom plan — number of sessions, depth settings, and complementary serums — tailored to your goals.
Topical numbing cream is applied before every session. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure — not pain.
Expect mild redness for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most Burlington clients return to work or daily activities the next day.
Unlike surface treatments, microneedling builds real collagen that lasts. Results from each session compound — your skin keeps improving for weeks after each visit.
Follow these steps to get the best results from your microneedling session at our Burlington clinic on Industrial Street:
Stop using retinol, tretinoin, and exfoliating acids at least 5 days before your session to avoid over-sensitizing the skin.
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for 1–2 weeks before treatment. Apply SPF 30+ daily.
Come makeup-free and with clean, dry skin. No moisturisers or serums on the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
Microneedling should not be performed over active acne lesions or infections. Let your Burlington technician know if you have any active spots.
Inform our team of any blood thinners, isotretinoin (Accutane), or immunosuppressants. These may require a longer pause before treatment.
Well-hydrated skin responds better to microneedling and heals faster. Drink plenty of water in the 24–48 hours before your appointment.
Yes — microneedling is one of the most clinically backed non-surgical skin treatments. It works in the dermis to create real collagen — not just surface effects. Most Burlington clients see visible improvement in texture, pores, and fine lines within 2–4 weeks of their first session, with results compounding through the treatment course. For acne scars specifically, studies show up to 80% improvement after a full course of 4–6 sessions.
At Femme Laser Clinic Burlington, microneedling is $250 per session. We also offer a package of 4 sessions for $750 — saving you $250 — for clients committed to optimal results. Book a free consultation at 2202 Industrial Street, Burlington, for a personalized quote based on your skin concerns.
Yes to both. Microneedling is particularly effective for atrophic (depressed) acne scars by stimulating collagen to fill in pitting. For post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) — the red or pink marks left after acne — microneedling promotes vascular remodeling that fades discoloration. Results are gradual and cumulative, typically becoming most visible after 3+ sessions.
Yes. By stimulating new collagen and elastin deep in the dermis, microneedling visibly reduces fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Results are most pronounced after a course of 4–6 sessions, with continued improvement as collagen remodeling continues for up to 6 months after your final session.
It depends on your goals. Nano needling works on the epidermis (surface layer) — it’s ideal for boosting product absorption, improving glow, and treating mild pigmentation with zero downtime. Microneedling penetrates deeper into the dermis, making it more effective for acne scars, significant wrinkles, and textural issues. If you’re dealing with genuine scarring or deep lines, microneedling is the stronger option. Our Burlington team will help you decide during your free consultation.
For most concerns — acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores — we recommend 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Deeper scarring may require up to 8 sessions. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help sustain results. Our Burlington specialists will give you a precise recommendation at your consultation.
