Are you ready to embark on a journey to stunning, radiant skin? Well, get ready to dive into the world of SkinPen Microneedling – the secret weapon for achieving that youthful, glowing complexion you’ve always dreamed of. This FDA approved treatment is now available at RG Spa and Wellness, Edmonton’s new downtown luxury spa.
The Scoop on SkinPen Microneedling
First things first, what’s this whole SkinPen Microneedling thing all about? Imagine a magic wand that transforms your skin, giving it a flawless, airbrushed finish. It’s a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, leaving you with smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. Nothing is injected into your skin. Your natural skin health is simply stimulated.
Many people tell us they have already tried Microneedling, but there are different kinds. Most local spas in Edmonton, Alberta use the devices that stamp your skin, section by section. On average, these treatments deliver 25,000 treatment holes into the skin. Our SkinPen device is very different and glides over the skin, resulting in over 3,000,000 treatment holes to stimulate the healing response! That is a huge difference.
Why It’s Not Just for Celebs
You might think that this magical skin treatment is only for the Hollywood rich and famous, but guess what? It’s totally accessible to the everyday beauty enthusiast, even in Edmonton, Alberta! SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, making it perfect for anyone looking to up their skincare game. Fine lines and wrinkles? Acne scars? Dull skin?

Benefits Galore!
Now, let’s talk about the goodies that come with SkinPen Microneedling:
- Bye-Bye, Wrinkles: Worried about those fine lines creeping in? SkinPen can help fade them away. Honestly. I have tried it. I have never had so many compliments on my skin. Even from my car guy.
- Smoother Texture: Say adios to uneven skin texture and acne scars. SkinPen can work its magic here too! Our manager is even using it on her c-section scar!
- Fresher Complexion: If dull skin is your nemesis, SkinPen Microneedling can help your skin radiate with renewed vibrancy.
- Tighten Up: Loose skin can be a thing of the past. SkinPen can help tighten and firm up your face and neck. Wattle be gone!
How it Works, in 3 steps, directly from SkinPen.com:
- “Inflammation SkinPen’s microneedles pierce the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
- Proliferation The micro-wounds created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Remodeling The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels which are comprised of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness.”
And SkinPen is the first Microneedling device approved by the FDA.
The Procedure – What can I expect?
“But wait,” you might ask, “Does it hurt?” Fear not, beauty adventurers! SkinPen Microneedling is a breeze. You’ll feel pressure, a bit of tingling and maybe some mild discomfort, but nothing too dramatic. Plus, we apply a numbing cream to make sure you’re as comfortable as can be.
The procedure usually takes around 45-60 minutes. First, the numbing cream as you lie cozily on our heated tables. Next, the actual procedure feels like a pen drawing on your face in small patches.
Afterward, you will experience redness and mild peeling – like a mini skin makeover! But don’t worry; this is just your skin doing its thing, rejuvenating itself. Personally, I get patchy and red enough that I don’t book anything that evening. By the next morning, the redness and patchiness is gone for me.
The Post-Procedure Glow Up
After your SkinPen Microneedling adventure, it’s essential to show your skin some love. We send you home with two products to use for the first 24 hours and with specific instructions to ensure that your response is optimal. This includes using a fresh pillowcase that night, and avoiding sun, steam and sweating for the first 24 hours. Hydration is your BFF, so drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer. And don’t forget the sunscreen! Your fresh, new skin is extra sensitive to the sun, so keep it protected.
SkinPen Microneedling is your passport to radiant, youthful skin without the drama. It’s the young and fun way to level up your skincare game, without the drama of more invasive procedures. Personally, SkinPen has caused the most dramatic and noticeable changes in my skin since starting regular services at RG Spa and Wellness. I would highly encourage you to try it for yourself. The treatments are recommended in a package of three sessions, booked one month apart.
