Sherwood Park & Strathcona County
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a cosmetic skin-care service that uses fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. It is offered for appearance-focused skin rejuvenation; individual response, visible results and downtime vary. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
At Strathcona Wellness, microneedling is performed with a Dr. Pen A11 device for appearance-focused care of the face and neck. The provider reviews your skin, goals, expected downtime and aftercare before proceeding; suitability and visible results vary.
A hydrating hyaluronic acid serum is applied during the appointment to support moisture retention and glide. Sterile single-use microneedling cartridges are used for each client, helping keep the treatment clean, controlled, and tailored to the skin area being treated.
Benefits include:
- Improved skin texture
- Reduced acne scars and post-acne marks
- Smaller-looking pores
- Fine line reduction
- Improved skin firmness
- Enhanced collagen production
- Better absorption of active serums
Why Treat the Face and Neck Together?
Many clients focus only on facial rejuvenation, but the neck often reveals signs of aging just as quickly. Fine lines, mild laxity, uneven texture, and crepey skin can appear below the jawline even when the face is being cared for regularly.
Treating both areas creates a more balanced appearance. Instead of improving only the face, Microneedling Face + Neck supports more consistent skin tone, texture, and firmness across the areas people notice most.
- More balanced appearance between face and neck
- Improved skin elasticity
- Reduced look of crepey skin
- Better collagen stimulation across connected areas
- Consistent skin tone and texture

Who It Is For
This treatment is suitable for adults seeking a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation. Microneedling Face + Neck may be beneficial for clients looking to improve fine lines, acne scars, post-acne texture, enlarged pores, dull-looking skin, mild laxity, sun damage, and overall firmness.
Clients choose this service when they want professional, appearance-focused skin care with a clearly explained preparation and aftercare plan. Downtime and visible response vary, so allow flexibility around important events.
Aftercare and Recovery
Most clients experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn for 24-48 hours. The skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly dry as it begins the renewal process. For best results, avoid makeup, sauna, intense exercise, retinol, exfoliating acids, and direct sun exposure for the recommended post-treatment period.
Daily SPF is especially important after microneedling because fresh skin is more sensitive to UV exposure. Gentle hydration, clean pillowcases, and simple calming skincare help support a smoother recovery.
Safety and Suitability
Microneedling is best planned around your current skin condition, lifestyle, and recovery window. The treatment may need to be postponed if you have active skin infection, open wounds, active cold sores, severe inflamed acne, recent aggressive resurfacing, or recent use of medications that affect skin healing. During your appointment, we review your skin goals and current concerns before proceeding.
At Strathcona Wellness, every microneedling appointment uses sterile disposable cartridges and a professional treatment approach. The goal is not to over-treat the skin, but to create controlled stimulation that supports gradual collagen renewal. This is especially important for clients interested in acne scar treatment, anti-aging facial care, and skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
