Since 2002, we've helped thousands of Victoria clients improve acne scars, skin texture, and overall skin quality through professional microneedling treatments. Every treatment is carefully planned to support healthy collagen production, because stronger, healthier skin develops gradually over time—not overnight.
For more than two decades, we've helped clients improve skin texture, acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin quality through careful assessment and individualized treatment planning.
Precision matters. Professional treatments involve much more than creating tiny channels in the skin. Sterile single-use cartridges, appropriate needle depth, treatment technique, and careful planning all contribute to safe, predictable outcomes.
No two people have the same skin. Every microneedling treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether microneedling is the most appropriate treatment for your concerns.
Microneedling is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body's natural collagen production to improve acne scars, fine lines, skin texture, stretch marks, and overall skin quality.
Healthy collagen is one of the foundations of healthy-looking skin. As we age, our natural collagen production gradually slows, contributing to fine lines, acne scars, changes in skin texture, and loss of firmness.
Microneedling works by creating thousands of precise, controlled microchannels in the skin. This carefully controlled process encourages your body's natural healing response and continues to stimulate new collagen production over the weeks and months that follow treatment.
Successful microneedling isn't about creating more injury—it's about creating the right amount of controlled stimulation. Treatment depth, technique, and allowing your skin adequate time to heal all influence your final results.
At Glow Luxe, we perform microneedling using the SkinPen® Precision system, an FDA-cleared device designed to create consistent, precise microchannels. Combined with careful treatment planning and professional technique, this allows us to safely address acne scars, fine lines, stretch marks, uneven skin texture, and overall skin quality.

SkinPen® creates thousands of precise, controlled microchannels in the skin using sterile, single-use needles. These microchannels activate your body's natural healing response, encouraging new collagen production while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding tissue.
One thing we've learned is that successful microneedling isn't simply about creating microchannels—it's about creating them consistently, at the appropriate depth, and allowing your skin enough time to heal between treatments. These factors play an important role in both safety and long-term results.
Unlike treatments that rely on heat or chemicals, microneedling works by encouraging your skin to repair and strengthen itself naturally. As new collagen develops over the weeks and months following treatment, many clients notice gradual improvements in acne scars, fine lines, skin texture, and overall skin quality.
One of the questions we're asked most often is whether at-home microneedling devices produce the same results as professional treatment. While they may appear similar, there are important differences in safety, treatment precision, and the results you can realistically expect.
Every SkinPen® treatment uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge that is opened immediately before your treatment and safely discarded afterward. This helps maintain consistent needle sharpness while minimizing the risk of contamination.
Professional treatments use sterile, single-use cartridges that remain exceptionally sharp throughout the treatment. Reusing needles or relying on lower-quality devices can increase unnecessary skin trauma while reducing treatment precision.
Professional microneedling isn't simply about creating tiny channels in the skin. Choosing the appropriate needle depth, adjusting treatment technique for different areas of the face, and spacing treatments correctly all influence how your skin heals and the results you achieve.
Many clients are surprised to learn that the depth used to treat acne scars is very different from the depth used for overall skin rejuvenation. Selecting the appropriate treatment depth is one of the most important parts of a professional microneedling treatment.
We perform microneedling using the FDA-cleared SkinPen® Precision system because it creates consistent, controlled microchannels while supporting the high standards of safety and precision we believe our clients deserve. Combined with professional assessment and treatment planning, it allows us to deliver predictable, natural-looking results with confidence.
"Am I a good candidate for microneedling?" The answer depends on your skin concerns, overall skin health, and treatment goals.
Microneedling is an excellent option for many clients looking to improve acne scars, fine lines, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality. It is also suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, making it a versatile treatment for a wide range of skin tones.
Just as importantly, we'll let you know if it isn't the right time to proceed. Active skin infections, open wounds, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or active acne may mean treatment should be postponed until your skin has healed. We may also recommend delaying treatment during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or for a short period after certain cosmetic procedures.
If you're currently experiencing active acne breakouts, we may recommend beginning with our Glow Clear™ Acne Program before considering microneedling.
Every consultation includes a careful assessment of your skin, medical history, and treatment goals. If we believe another treatment is more appropriate for your concerns, we'll explain why and recommend the approach most likely to help you achieve the results you're looking for.
Every microneedling treatment at Glow Luxe includes a complimentary LED light therapy treatment. LED therapy helps support your skin's natural healing process and is included to promote a comfortable recovery after your treatment.
With more than 24 years of experience, we've safely performed thousands of treatment for clients throughout Victoria BC, since 2002. The quality of the treatment provider is one of the most important factors influencing results. Our team combines extensive experience with a deep understanding of skin biology, microneedling technology, and treatment planning.
Our focus is on:
While SkinPen is excellent for improving texture and acne scars, some clients also benefit from improved skin firmness. Learn about our Trinity™ program, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency and LED therapy.
Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, but it can also be used to improve skin quality on the neck, décolleté, hands, abdomen, thighs, hips, and back. It is frequently recommended for concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin. During your consultation, we'll determine whether microneedling is the most appropriate treatment for your specific concerns.
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Many clients notice improvement after their first treatment, but the best long-term results are typically achieved through a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Because collagen develops gradually, improvements continue over the weeks and months following each treatment. During your consultation, we'll recommend a treatment plan based on your skin and the results you're hoping to achieve.
Most clients experience mild redness immediately after treatment, similar to a light sunburn. This usually settles within 24 hours, although some dryness or light flaking may continue for several days as your skin naturally renews itself.
To support healing, we provide post-treatment skincare instructions and recommend avoiding unnecessary sun exposure while your skin recovers.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, we recommend avoiding makeup, vigorous exercise, excessive sweating, swimming pools, hot tubs, direct sun exposure, and active skincare ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids, or vitamin C serums unless otherwise advised.
Following your aftercare instructions allows your skin to heal comfortably and helps you achieve the best possible treatment results.
Depending on your unique presentation, our clinical team often recommends combining your microneedling series with advanced oxygen facials or compounding topical serums for elite-tier revision.
