At Cool Laser Skin Studio, we offer professional microneedling in Calgary alongside a full menu of skin treatments — chemical peels, custom facials, and dermaplaning — to address your skin concerns at every level. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, dullness, or simply want to keep your skin healthy and youthful as you age, we build a personalized treatment plan around your specific goals.
Every client receives a complimentary skin consultation before treatment. We assess your skin type, concerns, and history to recommend the right combination of services — because great skin rarely comes from one treatment alone.
Microneedling is one of the most effective anti-aging and skin resurfacing treatments available — and it is suitable for all skin types and tones. At Cool Laser Skin Studio, we use the E-Pen microneedling device, a Health Canada approved system designed with precision, comfort, and results in mind.
Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy — works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. These micro-channels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin from within.
Starting at age 25, we naturally lose collagen every year. Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to counteract that loss — keeping skin strong, firm, and youthful over time. It is not just a treatment for a specific concern; it is a long-term investment in your skin’s health.
Not all microneedling devices deliver the same results. The E-Pen sets itself apart from standard dermarollers and basic pens in several important ways:
Our Calgary microneedling treatments are effective for a wide range of skin concerns:
Microneedling is a well-tolerated treatment for most clients. Before we begin, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to take the edge off and ensure your comfort throughout the session. Most clients describe the sensation as small prick points — certain areas of the face may feel slightly more sensitive than others, but overall the treatment is very manageable.
During treatment, 1–3 passes are made over each area depending on your concern and skin response. Because the E-Pen fires at 7,000 RPM, a high volume of micro-channels are being created with each pass — this is what drives the collagen response and makes the treatment so effective.
Microneedling has a short recovery period compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments. Here is what to expect:
Most clients benefit from 3–5 sessions per year, spaced every 4–6 weeks. This timing is intentional — it aligns with the skin’s natural healing cycle and collagen production timeline, ensuring each session builds on the results of the last.
Clients treating deeper acne scarring or more advanced signs of aging may require additional sessions. We will give you a personalized recommendation at your free consultation based on your specific skin concern and goals.
Yes — microneedling is safe for all skin tones and Fitzpatrick types. Because the E-Pen uses mechanical needle penetration rather than heat energy, there is no risk of heat-related pigmentation damage. This makes it an excellent option for clients with darker skin tones who may not be candidates for certain laser or light-based treatments.
Microneedling is not recommended for clients with:
If you are unsure whether microneedling is right for you, a complimentary consultation is the best place to start. We go through your full health history before recommending any treatment.

Most clients find microneedling very manageable. We apply a numbing cream before every session to minimize discomfort. You may feel small prick sensations in certain areas, but overall the treatment is well tolerated.
Some clients notice an initial glow within a few days as the skin heals. Deeper results — collagen remodelling, scar reduction, and improved texture — develop over 4–6 weeks following each session and continue to improve with each treatment in the series.
Microneedling cannot be combined with other treatments on the same day. However, we offer a complimentary multi-treatment skin plan that strategically sequences microneedling alongside peels, laser facials, or other modalities for the best possible long-term outcome.
Yes — microneedling is safe for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick types IV–VI. Because the E-Pen uses mechanical needle action rather than heat or light energy, there is no risk of heat-related pigmentation damage, making it one of the most inclusive skin treatments available.
A chemical peel works primarily on the surface by exfoliating the outer skin layers. Microneedling works beneath the surface, stimulating collagen production and remodelling the skin from within. Both are effective — and they complement each other well when used in a strategic treatment plan.
