SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® is the first Health Canada–approved microneedling device for treating acne scars, melasma, fine lines, and surgical scars. Unlike Dr Pen devices, which are not Health Canada approved, SkinPen® offers proven safety and results for women seeking a treatment they can trust.
What It Is
SkinPen® microneedling is a minimally invasive medical treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin naturally. Using fine, sterile needles, it creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
The benefits of microneedling go far beyond surface improvements. Over time, clients notice smoother texture, smaller pores, and a visible reduction in acne scars, fine lines, and even surgical scars. Many women choose microneedling after pregnancy to restore skin confidence, as it supports long-term healing rather than offering temporary results.
While at-home rollers and Dr Pen microneedling devices may seem convenient, they are not Health Canada approved and often lack the precision and depth needed for true skin renewal. At Eula Aesthetics, treatments are performed with the SkinPen® device, backed by science and years of clinical testing.

SkinPen® Microneedling FAQs
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny channels stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin. Unlike Dr Pen or at-home rollers, SkinPen® is a Health Canada–approved device proven to deliver safe and effective results.
How much does a SkinPen® microneedling session cost in Vancouver?
At Eula Aesthetics, treatments typically range from $300 to $400 per session, depending on the treatment area - microneedling can be done on the neck too.
Can you see microneedling before and after results after one session?
Yes. Many clients notice brighter and smoother skin tone after their first treatment. However, for more dramatic and lasting results, we recommend a series of at least 3 sessions. Microneedling before and after photos often show visible scar reduction, improved texture, and a refreshed appearance after a full treatment plan.
Is microneedling safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. SkinPen® microneedling is not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding. It is best to wait until after for optimal safety and predictable healing.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results often last several months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and aftercare. With a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, many clients enjoy long-term improvements. Maintenance sessions every few months help extend results.
How long is recovery after SkinPen® microneedling?
Recovery is usually quick. Most clients experience mild redness or swelling for 24–72 hours, with light dryness or flaking as the skin heals. You can return to most routines the next day, though avoiding makeup, sun exposure, and active skincare for 24–48 hours is recommended.
How long after microneedling can I wear makeup?
It is best to wait at least 24–48 hours before applying makeup after microneedling. This allows the micro-channels in your skin to close and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. Mineral makeup is often recommended as a gentler option once your skin is ready.
How to Prepare For Your Microneedling Treatment
SkinPen Microneedling Pre-Care Instructions:
To prepare your skin for SkinPen microneedling and achieve the best results, follow these pre-care steps:
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week before treatment
Stop using retinol, acids, or exfoliating products 1 week prior
Avoiid waxing, chemical peels, or other skin treatments 1-2 weeks before
Inform your provider of any skin conditions, allergies or medical conditions
Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements if possible (consult your doctor)
Following these guidelines helps minimize irritation and supports a smooth, effective treatment.
What can I expect after a SkinPen Microneedling treatment?
After your SkinPen microneedling treatment, you may experience redness, warmth, and tightness in the skin. These effects typically last up to 72 hours. To support healing and hydration, apply a hyaluronic acid serum regularly and avoid harsh skincare products during this time.
What are the risks of microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is FDA-cleared and generally safe, but some mild side effects may occur. These can include temporary redness, swelling, dryness, or sensitivity for 1–3 days after treatment. Minor bruising is rare but possible, especially in delicate areas. Infection and hyperpigmentation are very rare and usually preventable with proper aftercare and sun protection. To reduce risks, always choose a licensed provider and follow post-treatment instructions carefully.
How often should I get microneedling in Vancouver?
For optimal results, SkinPen microneedling treatments are recommended every 4 weeks. Regular sessions help boost collagen production and improve overall skin texture and tone.
