Microneedling
Microneedling causes tiny injuries in the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, triggering the body’s healing response.
Microneedling is truly the fountain of youth treatment, and is recommended as a maintenance upkeep treatment. Meaning, you can never get enough!
Did you know one session of Microneedling produced 200% collagen? It sure does! Purposely injuring the skin allows the body to rush all your red rich blood cells to the “injured” area and form new collagen and elastin.

CONSULTATION
At the beginning of each appointment, we conduct a thorough consultation. During this consultation, we discuss the specific areas of concern and carefully review your medical history. It is crucial to provide complete and accurate information about your medical history, including any allergies, skin or neurological conditions, and medications you may be taking.
PROCEDURE
Our Microneedling procedure is complete with a thorough double medical cleanse, followed with disinfecting the skin. Once cleansed and disinfected, we then numb our patients with numbing. Once numbing is complete, we then discuss depths and needle sizes, which is most appropriate for the treated area. Here at The Viva beauty we use our Health Canada Approved device, ensuring our clients safety and effectiveness. Once treatment is complete, we soothe
POST TREATMENT
After the procedure, your skin may be red and flushed for 48-72 hours like a mild sunburn. The first 72 hours you will experience some tightness and mild sensitivity. It is best to avoid any physical exercise that may cause you to sweat for 48 hours. This prevents bacteria from entering into the skin. Avoiding makeup for 24 hours is also recommended. It is also recommended to purchase a post microneedling kit to take home with you. Your aesthetician will also discuss with you about types of skincare products to avoid for a few days to a week. This will include any products containing alcohol or retinol. Drynes
