What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a medical aesthetic procedure that uses fine medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing cascade, activating fibroblast activity and stimulating new type I and III collagen and elastin production. Over the following 4-6 weeks, the skin remodels — becoming smoother in texture, firmer in tone, and more resilient. Microneedling at Nurse Injector Shayse is administered by a Registered Nurse in a clinical, medical-grade setting in Sherwood Park, with needle depth and pass density adjusted for the area treated and the individual's skin condition. Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, determined during your consultation. Results vary by individual.
In my practice, I adjust needle depth and density based on skin area and concern — the under-eye region requires different parameters than the cheeks or neck. Your consultation determines the plan. Results vary by individual.
Microneedling Sherwood Park: What You Need to Know
Microneedling in Sherwood Park (collagen induction therapy) uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your skin's natural collagen and elastin production. It may help improve the appearance of texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven tone. Most clients benefit from 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Nurse Injector Shayse offers professional microneedling near me in Sherwood Park, serving clients from the local area and Edmonton. Pair with Vivier Vitamin C and retinol for enhanced results. Consultation required.
How microneedling works: Fine needles create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, triggering the body's wound-healing cascade through controlled dermal injury. This process activates fibroblast activity and initiates the collagen induction cascade—stimulating production of new type I and III collagen fibers and elastin. As these structural proteins rebuild over 4-6 weeks, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more resilient. Treatment depth and intensity are customized based on skin condition, concern severity, and individual healing capacity to optimize results while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Most Common Skin Concerns Treated with Microneedling

Pores microneedling in Sherwood Park may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by tightening surrounding skin tissue and improving overall texture.
- • Tighter-looking pores
- • Smoother appearance

How Microneedling Works
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Over time, this process improves skin thickness, texture, and resilience. At Nurse Injector Shayse, treatments are performed in a professional medical setting by a licensed nurse injector. Treatment depth and technique are customized based on skin type, concern, and recovery tolerance, ensuring both safety and optimal results. Combine with medical-grade skincare for enhanced, long-lasting improvements.
Who Microneedling Is Best For
- • Adults with acne scarring, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture seeking collagen stimulation
- • Those seeking gradual, natural collagen induction over quick fixes for long-term skin improvement
- • Patients with early fine lines, sun-damaged skin, or loss of skin firmness
- • All skin tones—microneedling is safe for darker complexions unlike some laser treatments
- • Individuals committed to a treatment series for cumulative, progressive improvement
- • Patients who value customized treatment depth based on skin assessment and recovery tolerance
Each treatment is planned based on individual skin concerns, texture goals, and healing capacity. The progressive nature of collagen remodeling means results improve over time with each session—most patients see significant improvement after completing a 3-6 session series. Combining microneedling with PRP therapy (Vampire Facial) can enhance collagen stimulation, while proper medical-grade skincare extends and maintains results between sessions.
Why Microneedling Works Well in Alberta
Sherwood Park and Edmonton patients particularly benefit from microneedling because Alberta's dry climate and intense UV exposure (even in winter with snow reflection) can accelerate skin damage. Collagen induction therapy helps repair this environmental stress while strengthening the skin's barrier against harsh conditions.
What to Expect From Results
Initial glow appears within 1-2 weeks as skin heals. True collagen remodeling develops over 4-6 weeks per session, with cumulative improvement across a treatment series. Most patients see significant texture improvement after 3-6 sessions. Maintenance treatments 1-2 times yearly help sustain results long-term.

A microneedling appointment in Sherwood Park typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, with the active treatment portion taking 20-30 minutes after numbing. Your appointment begins with a brief consultation and skin assessment to confirm the plan. Topical numbing cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes for comfort. Once numbing is achieved, Shayse cleanses the skin and uses a medical-grade microneedling device to pass over the treatment area multiple times. Needle depth and density are adjusted for each zone — the cheeks and forehead are treated differently than the under-eyes or neck. A hydrating serum is applied during and immediately after treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild vibration with occasional sensitivity in bony areas. You leave with written aftercare instructions and direct access to Shayse for any follow-up questions during healing. Results vary by individual.
Before every microneedling session, I confirm your skin is free of active breakouts, check recent retinol and exfoliant use, and review any new medications. These are non-negotiable safety steps. Results vary by individual.
