Not all microneedling is created equally in Victoria BC. This is a treatment where training and expertise should always be prioritized over price. After all, you only have one skin.
🚩Over the past few months, we’ve had clients come to us after treatments elsewhere with unexpected skin reactions, including:
• Scratch marks or “track marks”
• Damage from tearing or dragging of the skin
• Prolonged swelling or raised welts
• Worsening texture or new scarring
🚩These outcomes are NOT what healthy microneedling should look like.
✔️When performed correctly, microneedling is a controlled, precise treatment designed to support the skin—not visibly injure it.
So what causes these kinds of results?
🚩In most cases, it comes down to:
• Inadequate training or poor technique
• Incorrect needle depth or pressure
• Low-quality or poorly maintained devices
• Improper hygiene protocols
❗️One important thing to understand: these reactions are not “normal,” and they should not be dismissed as expected healing.
Your skin deserves better than that.
✔️If you’re considering microneedling, here are a few things to look for:
• A practitioner who can clearly explain your treatment plan
• Strict use of sterile, single-use cartridges
• A focus on skin health—not aggressive, one-size-fits-all treatments
• Realistic expectations (🚩 not overly discounted or rushed services)
At Glow Luxe, our approach is always rooted in skin integrity first. Because true results come from working with the skin—not against it.
If you’ve had a treatment that didn’t feel right, or you’re unsure about your results, we’re always here to help guide you.
