Microneedling Montreal for Skin Regeneration
Microneedling Montreal at GLIF Medical is a physician-led skin-regeneration treatment designed to improve selected concerns including uneven skin texture, visible pores, certain superficial acne scars and early signs of skin aging. Dr. Peguy Télusma, MD, evaluates your skin, medical history and treatment goals before determining whether microneedling is appropriate for you.
Located in Verdun (Île-des-Sœurs), Montréal, GLIF Medical offers classic microneedling and VAMP microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The treatment approach is individualized according to the treatment area, skin condition, medical history and desired outcome rather than applying the same protocol to every patient.
How Microneedling Works
How does microneedling work? Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These small areas of stimulation activate the skin’s natural healing response and encourage collagen and elastin production as the skin repairs and remodels itself. For a broader overview of the treatment, see GLIF Medical’s microneedling guide covering the benefits, process and results.
The treatment is based on controlled stimulation rather than permanent damage to the skin’s surface. The physician can adjust the needle depth and treatment approach according to the area being treated, the condition of the skin and the clinical objective.
Because skin concerns differ from person to person, microneedling is not intended to produce an identical result for every patient. A medical assessment helps determine whether the treatment is appropriate and how it should be incorporated into an individualized skin-care plan.
What Microneedling May Improve
Microneedling may be considered when the goal is to improve the overall appearance and quality of the skin. Depending on the individual’s condition and treatment goals, it may be used for:
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Visible or enlarged pores
- Certain superficial acne scars
- Early signs of skin aging
- General skin renewal and collagen support

Microneedling Options at GLIF Medical
GLIF Medical offers two approaches to microneedling: classic microneedling and VAMP microneedling with PRP. Both use controlled microneedling stimulation, while VAMP adds platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s own blood.
The appropriate option is determined during the medical assessment based on your skin, treatment area, medical history and goals. The decision is not based solely on personal preference.
Classic Microneedling
Classic microneedling relies on controlled mechanical stimulation of the skin. Fine needles create precisely controlled micro-injuries that activate the body’s natural repair response and support gradual collagen remodeling.
It may be considered for patients concerned about uneven skin texture, visible pores, certain superficial acne scars or general skin quality. Needle depth can be adjusted according to the treatment area and clinical objective.
- Approximately 30 minutes of listed treatment time
- Needle depth adjusted according to the treatment area
- Price confirmed during consultation
- Treatment plan adapted to the individual’s skin and goals
VAMP Microneedling With PRP
What is VAMP microneedling? VAMP microneedling combines controlled microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from the patient’s own blood. A small blood sample is collected during the appointment and processed to prepare the PRP before it is incorporated into the treatment.
This approach combines mechanical skin stimulation with platelet-rich plasma containing naturally occurring components from the patient’s own blood. Whether PRP is appropriate depends on the individual’s medical history, skin concerns and treatment goals.
How PRP Is Incorporated
For VAMP microneedling, the blood sample is collected first and processed to prepare the PRP. The physician then performs the microneedling treatment and incorporates the prepared PRP as part of the procedure.
- Microneedling combined with PRP
- Blood sample collected during the appointment
- PRP prepared before incorporation into the treatment
- Price: CA$650.00
Microneedling for Acne Scars, Pores and Skin Texture
Can microneedling help acne scars? Microneedling may be considered for certain superficial acne scars because controlled stimulation can support collagen remodeling within the skin. Acne scars can vary significantly in depth, shape and type, so a physician assessment is important before selecting a treatment.
For patients primarily concerned about enlarged pores or uneven texture, microneedling may also form part of a broader skin-renewal plan. The goal is gradual improvement in the appearance and texture of the treated skin rather than complete correction of every scar or pore.
The physician can evaluate whether microneedling is suitable for the specific concern or whether another treatment may provide a more appropriate approach.
Choosing the Right Approach for Acne Scarring
The appropriate treatment depends on the type and depth of the scar, the overall condition of the skin and the patient’s goals. Some acne scars may respond better to resurfacing or combination approaches rather than microneedling alone.
For concerns that may benefit from another resurfacing approach, GLIF Medical also offers fractional CO2 laser treatment. The physician can determine which option is more appropriate after examining the skin. Patients considering resurfacing can also learn more through GLIF Medical’s guide to fractional CO2 laser treatment.
Who May Be a Candidate for Microneedling?
Who is microneedling suitable for? Microneedling may be considered for adults who want to improve selected aspects of skin quality and who have realistic expectations about gradual improvement. A medical assessment is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Microneedling may be discussed when the primary concern involves skin texture, visible pores, selected superficial acne scars or early signs of skin aging. The physician also considers the condition of the skin and any factors that could affect treatment.
What the Medical Assessment Considers
- Current skin condition and treatment area
- Type and depth of acne scarring when relevant
- Skin texture and pore concerns
- Medical history and relevant medications
- Treatment expectations and desired outcome
- Whether PRP is appropriate for VAMP microneedling
For PRP-based treatment, relevant medical history should be discussed with the physician before treatment. This can include conditions or medications that may affect bleeding, clotting or healing.
What to Expect During a Microneedling Treatment
How long does microneedling take? The listed treatment time is approximately 30 minutes. The actual appointment may vary depending on the treatment area and whether PRP is included.
Before treatment, the physician assesses the skin and discusses the planned treatment area and approach. The skin is then prepared before controlled microneedling is performed.
Classic Microneedling Process
For classic microneedling, the physician prepares the selected area and performs controlled needle stimulation at an appropriate depth. The treatment parameters are adapted to the location, skin condition and clinical objective.
VAMP Microneedling Process
For VAMP microneedling, a small blood sample is collected first. The sample is processed to prepare the PRP, followed by the microneedling procedure and incorporation of the prepared PRP.
Treatment Time
Approximately 30 minutes of listed treatment time. Appointment duration may vary according to the treatment plan and whether PRP is included.
Microneedling Recovery and Aftercare
What is microneedling recovery like? Mild redness, warmth, sensitivity or a similar temporary skin response may occur after microneedling. Recovery can vary according to the treatment intensity, treatment area and individual skin characteristics.
Microneedling generally does not involve prolonged downtime, but the skin may look or feel different immediately after treatment. Patients should follow the individualized aftercare instructions provided by the clinic.
What Your Skin May Look Like After Treatment
Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur as the skin responds to the controlled stimulation. The appearance and duration of these effects vary between individuals and may also depend on the treatment area and depth used.
Aftercare Guidelines
- Use daily sun protection as recommended.
- Use a gentle skincare routine while the skin recovers.
- Avoid unnecessary irritation of the treated skin.
- Follow the specific post-treatment instructions provided by the clinic.
Good aftercare supports the skin while it undergoes its natural recovery and remodeling process. Your physician can provide additional instructions based on the treatment performed and your individual skin.
Microneedling Results and Treatment Planning
When do microneedling results appear? Microneedling results develop gradually rather than immediately. As the skin recovers and collagen remodeling continues, improvements in texture and overall skin appearance may become more noticeable over the following weeks.
Individual results vary according to factors such as skin condition, treatment area, treatment depth, skin characteristics and the number of sessions performed. No specific result can be guaranteed.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Are Needed?
How many microneedling sessions do you need? The number of treatments depends on the concern being addressed, the condition of the skin and the individual’s response to treatment. Several sessions may be recommended when the goal is cumulative improvement.
When multiple sessions are recommended, they may be spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and continue its natural remodeling process.
Rather than using a fixed number of sessions for everyone, GLIF Medical develops a treatment plan after the physician evaluates the skin and discusses the patient’s goals.
