What to Expect with Microneedling at Healthy Image
Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels in the skin. It is a type of treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural healing, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Years ago, it was performed with traditional microneedling rollers, however, today it is performed with specialized microneedling pens. Our skincare professionals are extensively trained and educated in the most advanced microneedling protocols. Within the scope of non-invasive skin treatments, Infini™ (RF Microneedling) continues to receive excellent reviews from patients looking for the most incredible results.
How microneedling works is simple. A microneedling pen has a collection of microscopic needles. The pen is moved along the skin’s surface and these needles make microscopic punctures in the skin. Microneedling has proven to be safe and effective, with a skincare professional controlling the microneedling pen at multiple speeds and being able to adjust the needle depth. This ensures even hard-to-reach areas – such as around the eyes, nose, and lips – can be treated. What you can expect from microneedling is little-to-no downtime, no pain, and increased absorption of the products applied afterward.
- Minimally Invasive: Infini™ (RF Microneedling) does not cause extensive damage nor are the risks high.
- Safety: In the hands of one of our skincare experts, we ensure treatment is performed safely and accurately.
- Real Results: Microneedling after-care and recovery will lead to benefits seen within 5-7 days.

Any step we can take to reduce discomfort and ensure our patients are well taken care of, we are happy to offer. With Healthy Image, we deliver the results you expect. Let us help create a Windsor microneedling treatment plan perfect for your needs.
Benefits of Microneedling
Also referred to as collagen induction therapy and percutaneous collagen injection, the benefits of microneedling are extensive.
- Stimulate Collagen Production: Restore elasticity to the skin and regain firm, youthful-looking skin.
- Reduce Scarring: Minimize the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
- Improve Overall Skin Texture: Eliminate rough patches and improve overall skin tone.
- Cumulative Effect: The more sessions you receive, the better your results will be as microneedling has a cumulative effect.
Your recovery post-microneedling is key to sustaining these benefits. You may want to take 24 hours or a few days to yourself to apply healing oils to your skin and to provide it the time to fully heal.
Furthermore, you can enhance the benefits of Infini™ (RF Microneedling) with subsequent treatments booked at 4-6 week intervals.

In this time, we have seen some incredible improvements for clients even from a single session. This is why microneedling has remained one of our most popular skincare treatments. Our microneedling experts can assist with ensuring your treatment is not only performed properly but that your overall experience with us is positive and that the outcome is exactly what you hoped it would be.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines for Microneedling
Preparing for Infini™ (RF Microneedling) sessions ensures there are no surprises for the patient. They can be made aware of the steps we are going to take in session before they sit for the procedure. For many, this enhances the experience.
Preparation Tips:
-
Stop using all retinol products, retinoids, and acid-based skincare products 3-5 days prior to treatment.
-
Start limiting sun exposure for at least a week before treatment.
Day of Your Appointment:
-
Use a gentle cleanser to remove all makeup, oils, and lotions. Ensure your skin is clean and clear.
-
You may want to consider taking a pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, an hour before your appointment to help with managing any perceived discomfort.
-
Do not use any exfoliating products within the 24 hours before your microneedling treatment.
- Before treatment, a hydrating serum to lubricate the skin or a topical numbing cream may be applied.
Important Reminders:
- In the initial consultation, talk to a skincare professional about your goals, questions, and/or concerns.
- If you have any medical conditions, known allergies, are on regular medications, or if the day of your session something occurs with your skin, let us know. This will help us minimize complications and maximize the positive effects of the treatment.
By following these pre-treatment microneedling guidelines, you run a better chance at managing side effects, such as redness, swelling, and crusting. It takes time for your skin to heal after a microneedling session.
Microneedling Process Explained
At Healthy Image Center, you can expect to receive the care and attention you deserve with your Infini™ (RF Microneedling) treatment.
Consultation
A microneedling session is only booked after a thorough consultation. In this initial meeting, we assess your skin and skincare concerns. It’s key to have a fair expectation of what’s possible with microneedling. Common skin issues it treats includes fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, loss of elasticity, sun damage and pigmentation, redness and vascular irregularities, and uneven skin tone and texture.
Preparation
- The area being treated is cleansed.
- A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to minimize discomfort.
Microneedling Process
A microneedling session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is led by a skincare professional.
- Tiny, fine needles on a pen are used to puncture the skin. This is done in a rolling motion, creating thousands of tiny punctures.
- The damage is extremely controlled and will not cause any scabbing or scarring. The microneedling process is extremely gentle.
- It is just enough to trigger the body to produce more collagen and elastin, regenerating the skin and ultimately leading to smoother, softer skin over time.
- Microneedling is best used for scar tissue and to address signs of aging in the skin.
Post-Procedure Care
After your microneedling treatment, rest and protect your skin.
- Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours to give your skin time to breathe and recover.
- Use an SPF 30+ sunscreen every day for up to 12 weeks after your microneedling procedure.
- Keep sun exposure to an absolute minimum as you will be more prone to skin irritation and sunburn.
- Dry, itchy skin is common after microneedling. Let your skin shed naturally. Use a light, oil-free moisturizer or hyaluronic acid to combat this issue.
- Avoid any strong exfoliants, skin resurfacing acid-based products, and vitamin C.
- Keep drinking water post-procedure as hydration is essential in the microneedling recovery process and will help boost collagen production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of microneedling treatments in Windsor?
Infini™ (RF Microneedling) treatments can range from $399 to $1,999 per session. The cost variance relies on the treatment area and any associated add-ons.
How long does it take to see results from microneedling?
See visible improvements from microneedling within 7 days. For the best results, it may take several microneedling sessions spread out over the course of a few weeks or several months.

Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling is not painful. Most patients describe a mild prickling or warm scratching sensation over the skin as the treatment carries on. There tends to be more discomfort when the needles are utilized near bony areas, such as the cheekbones. There is no reason to expect more than minimal discomfort and only during the procedure.
