  • New Service: Microneedling

    Well it’s not new, but we’ve upgraded our equipment to give you the best results!

    ✨WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING✨ Microneedling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy. It involves pricking the skin using a specialty device (in our case the Evo Micropen) with sterile needles to make channels into the epidermis and dermis. When this happens you release new growth factors that promote scarless healing and create new, woven collagen. But Microneedling treatments are about a lot more than just an anti-aging collagen induction. Micro-injuries caused by this treatment resets cellular function which means if you over or under produce pigment, it can help regulate it (ex hyperpigmentation), if you over or under produce oils in the skin causing acne, microneedling can help regulate this also. Treatments also help break down scaring to give a smoother complexion which is great for acne scars and stretch marks.

    💕Microneedling should be part of everyone's routine! Book with us for $325 per session or 3 Sessions for $900 (recommended)

  • Why Home Microneedling should be avoided

    Let’s talk about “home microneedling” 😒 and why it’s a good idea to only get it processionally done ✔️: It may seem more cost effective to buy an amazon microneedling device for home use. However there are so many thing to consider. 👉1. Size of the Needles: If the needle is too large in diameter, it could cause scaring. 👉2. Safety of the Needles: There have been reports of needles coming free from the cartridge of Non-Health-Canada-Approved devices and remaining stuck in the skin! Also there have been devices using needles that are not actual needles, just blunt cut steel that could cause permanent skin damage! 👉3. Depth of Needles: Understanding the skin and how to microneedle can be confusing. Microneedling yourself too deep could cause damage to the subcutaneous tissue which would not only have no purpose but can increase the risk of nerve damage or permanent tissue damage!

    ✨OUR TREATMENT✨You can trust our treatment as our Evo MicroPen device is Health Canada approved as a Medical Device meaning the needles are sterile, medical grade, they are the perfect size and length to give you results. We also have taken training and pick depths based on your specific skin conditions. My Beauty Lab also has full insurance for our treatments which is proof our treatments are up to standard!

  • Microneedling for Acne

    ✔️How Microneedling can help minimize ✨Acne & Breakouts✨

    💉In the past the aesthetics industry didn’t recommend Microneedling on clients with active acne! But we now know through recent studies done on microneedlig for Acne Scars that the treatment improves acne itself also!

    The study found microneedling normalizes hyperkeratinization and sebaceous function, triggers an immune response that controls bacteria in the skin and normalizes inflammation. To make very intricate science simple, that means you have less hardened layers of skin which can trap oils and bacteria causing breakouts. And of course, the act of microneedling also works to clear acne scarring and hyperpigmentation left by previous breakouts! It’s win win!
