What Happens During a Microneedling Procedure?
At Brow Ink Co. in Vaughan, Ontario, your microneedling session begins with a deep cleanse of the treatment area, followed by a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Once the area is numb, our trained specialist uses a professional microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production. The procedure usually takes 15–20 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Is Microneedling Painful?
Microneedling is generally not painful. With numbing cream applied, most clients only experience mild pressure during the treatment. Afterward, you may feel slight tenderness or tightness, which typically subsides within a few days.
Here are some before-and-after photos of traditional (non-RF) microneedling results. These images showcase improvements in skin texture, tone, and acne scarring—giving you an idea of the natural, rejuvenating effects clients can expect.

What Are the Risks of Microneedling?
When performed by professionals, microneedling is very safe. The most common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity—part of the skin’s natural healing process. These usually resolve within 2–3 days. Rare risks may include bruising, infection, or worsening of an existing skin condition, which is why following aftercare instructions is essential.
Recovery and Downtime
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime. Redness and sensitivity peak within the first 48–72 hours. During this time, it is important to avoid strenuous activity, sweating, or anything that could irritate the skin. Most clients resume normal routines after just a few days.
When Will You See Results?
Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within 2–3 weeks of their first microneedling session. Full results develop over several months as collagen production continues. For optimal outcomes, Brow Ink Co. often recommends a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every few months.
Aftercare for Best Results
To protect your skin and maximize results, we recommend:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Pausing active skincare (retinol, vitamin C, glycolic acid, etc.) until your skin heals.
- Skipping makeup for the first 48 hours; mineral-based makeup is safe after a few days.
- Avoiding pools, saunas, and intense exercise for about one week.
- Staying hydrated and using gentle, nourishing skincare.
