The Art of Collagen Induction

Precision Skin Therapy in Toronto

At Dr. Mike Roskies’ practice, microneedling isn’t just a cosmetic procedure. It’s a reset. Whether you’re prepping for facial surgery, easing into post-op healing, or looking to soften scars and fine lines, each treatment is thoughtfully tailored. We use the DP4 microneedling system, one of the most precise and customizable tools available, to help restore the skin's structure and surface through a process known as collagen induction therapy. It’s refined, targeted, and rooted in the body’s natural healing response.

Sharp Enough to Be Subtle

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro channels trigger your body’s healing cascade, stimulating collagen, elastin, and cellular renewal deep within the skin. Over time, this process helps rebuild structure, smooth texture, and even out tone.

We use the DP4 device, which glides comfortably across the skin with 16 high-speed needles. Unlike older devices, it allows us to adjust depth, speed, and technique based on each patient’s skin concerns—whether we’re working to improve skin laxity, treat acne scars, or refine enlarged pores. Areas like the under-eyes, upper lip, or jawline can be treated gently and precisely.

We often enhance treatments with:

  • Hyaluronic acid serums from DP Dermaceuticalsâ„¢ to promote hydration and calm irritation
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—concentrated from your own blood—for accelerated healing and collagen synthesis
  • Exosomes, rich in growth factors, supports regeneration at the cellular level

Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling offers more than just cosmetic refinement—it supports long-term skin health. When performed consistently and thoughtfully, it can:

  • Improve overall skin texture and skin tone
  • Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
  • Soften acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks
  • Reduce the appearance of large pores and crepey skin
  • Address early sagging skin and skin laxity
  • Fade sun damage and areas of hyperpigmentation
  • Promote deeper product absorption post-treatment
  • Help prep the skin pre-surgery and support post-op healing

It’s considered a minimally invasive, non-invasive treatment suitable for most skin types, especially when customized correctly.

Not Everyone Needs a Laser

Microneedling Candidates

Microneedling works for a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines, mild wrinkles, and dullness
  • Surgical or acne-related scarring
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • Texture issues and uneven tone
  • Mild loose skin or early signs of aging

That said, it’s not for everyone. If you have open wounds, active skin infections, cystic acne, or poorly controlled autoimmune conditions, you’ll want to wait. Pregnant or breastfeeding? We’ll hold off until the timing is right. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, sensitivities, and goals to ensure you’re a good candidate.

No Big Deal

Your Microneedling Experience

Each session is designed to feel calm, deliberate, and private. We begin by cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream. Once the area feels comfortably desensitized, we use the DP4 device to create small punctures across the treatment area, subtle enough that most patients describe it as a mild vibration or tapping.

Depending on your skin’s needs, we may layer in:

  • A hyaluronic acid serum to soothe and hydrate
  • PRP to promote healing and enhance results
  • A regenerative exosome solution for deep recovery support

Most treatments take about 45 to 60 minutes. There’s no sedation, no incisions. Just your skin responding and renewing.

Red Today, Radiant Tomorrow

Microneedling Recovery and Results

After treatment, it’s normal to experience mild redness, tightness, or sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours. Some patients report a slight sandpaper-like texture by day two, followed by light peeling between days three to five. It’s part of the healing process.

During this time, we recommend:

  • Avoiding makeup, retinoids, and exfoliants for 48 hours
  • Skipping high-intensity workouts or sauna sessions
  • Using gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and daily SPF

Many patients notice their skin feeling tighter and looking brighter within the first week. Improvements in collagen and elastin levels continue to build for 6–8 weeks after each treatment.

For optimal results, we typically recommend three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every few months, depending on your skin goals.

Your Glow Budget

How much does Microneedling cost?

  • Initial consultation and skin assessment
  • Full DP4 microneedling treatment
  • High-grade serums, PRP, or exosome enhancement
  • Numbing cream and post-procedure care
