DP4® Microneedling in Kelowna

SkinPen® Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The process remodels the skin from within, improving texture, firmness, and tone without heat or chemicals. 

It’s clinically proven to treat fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture safely and effectively. Because it works with your body’s natural biology, results look subtle yet transformative. At Kelowna Hills, we use SkinPen® to help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin that glows with vitality and health.

SkinPen® Microneedling is a versatile treatment that targets a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven tone. It can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improve skin firmness on the face, neck, décolletage, and even the hands.

The treatment promotes overall skin rejuvenation, helping to restore balance, texture, and radiance. It’s safe for all skin tones and can be performed year-round with minimal risk. At Kelowna Hills, our skin experts customize each session to your unique needs, ensuring comprehensive, long-term improvement for your complexion.

Yes, SkinPen® is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Unlike laser treatments, it doesn’t use heat or light energy, which makes it suitable for even the most sensitive or darker skin without risk of hyperpigmentation. The sterile, single-use needles ensure hygienic application every time, minimizing risk of irritation or infection.

Common side effects such as redness or mild swelling are temporary and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. The treatment’s safety is backed by extensive clinical studies and Health Canada approval. At Kelowna Hills, every procedure is performed under physician supervision to ensure safety, precision, and beautiful, natural results.

You’ll start noticing visible improvement in skin texture and radiance within one to two weeks after your first treatment. As collagen continues to rebuild, results become more pronounced over the next several weeks. A full series of treatments provides cumulative benefits that last for months, with smoother, firmer skin and a healthy glow.

For ongoing improvement, maintenance sessions every 6–12 months are recommended. Longevity of results depends on your age, skincare routine, and lifestyle habits such as sun protection and hydration. At Kelowna Hills, we design personalized maintenance plans to help you sustain your best skin year-round.

Absolutely. SkinPen® Microneedling can be safely combined with complementary treatments such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Chemical Peels, or Lumecca™ IPL to enhance results. PRP, in particular, pairs beautifully with microneedling by delivering growth factors that accelerate healing and collagen regeneration.

Combining treatments allows us to address multiple skin layers—improving tone, texture, and firmness simultaneously. Our physician-led team at Kelowna Hills will design a customized plan that fits your goals, schedule, and comfort level. By combining modalities strategically, we maximize outcomes and help you achieve glowing, youthful skin with minimal downtime.

Yes, SkinPen® Microneedling is an excellent option for men who want to improve skin texture, minimize pores, and reduce acne scarring or fine lines. It’s a discreet, non-invasive treatment that fits easily into a busy lifestyle and requires little to no recovery time. The results develop naturally over time, enhancing skin health and confidence without an artificial or “treated” look.

Many male clients choose SkinPen® for its ability to smooth rough texture and restore a refreshed, youthful appearance. Treatments can also be performed on the scalp or body to improve tone and elasticity. At Kelowna Hills, we tailor each session to male skin anatomy and goals, ensuring results that are subtle, natural, and long-lasting.

Most clients find the treatment very tolerable, thanks to a topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. You may feel mild pressure or tingling as the device moves across the skin, but discomfort is minimal. After treatment, you may experience redness and slight sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24–48 hours.

There is little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly. Makeup and active products should be avoided for at least a day to allow proper healing. At Kelowna Hills, we prioritize your comfort and use advanced techniques to ensure a smooth, gentle experience with exceptional results.
