MICRONEEDLING CALGARY
Trigger Your Skin's Natural Repair Process for Visible Renewal
At Juvea, every microneedling treatment is paired with a medical-grade serum infusion, chosen specifically for your skin or scalp. The micro-channels we create are doing more than healing, they’re absorbing exactly what your skin needs.
From rejuvenating your skin or restoring thinning hair, we customize our approach and create a serum plan according to your specific needs.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a fine, sterile needle device to create thousands of tiny, controlled channels in the skin or scalp. This controlled injury triggers the skin’s healing response, including new collagen and elastin, which improves firmness and texture over time.
At Juvea, treatments are performed using the Dermapen 4 (Dp4™), an FDA and Health Canada-licensed device known for its precision, speed, and comfort. Most clients notice initial improvement within days, with more visible changes developing over the following 3-4 weeks as new collagen builds. On the scalp, the same process can reactivate dormant hair follicles, supporting natural regrowth and a healthier scalp overall.
Microneedling for Thinning Hair & Scalp Restoration
Beyond skin rejuvenation, microneedling also addresses hair thinning and loss, scalp inflammation, and scalp dryness or oiliness. By creating controlled micro-channels in the scalp, the treatment stimulates your body’s healing response, supporting regrowth and a healthier scalp overall.
PDRN Scalp Treatment (Hair Restorative Complex)
For clients dealing with thinning, fragile, or weakened hair, we offer PDRN (Salmon Sperm DNA) microneedling for the scalp, also known as our Hair Restorative Complex. This treatment delivers clinical-grade PDRN directly into the scalp, using the regenerative properties of purified salmon DNA to strengthen existing hair, stimulate dormant follicles, and support circulation and nutrient delivery to the roots.
We also offer scalp microneedling with Exosomes and/or Purasomes, a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment available for hair and scalp regeneration. It works by boosting blood flow and accelerating the scalp’s natural healing process, directly delivering ingredients that support follicle regeneration and encourage healthier, thicker, faster-growing hair while slowing further loss.
Who It's For
Microneedling for hair restoration is most effective for early-stage hair thinning and loss. This includes androgenetic alopecia, a pattern of gradual thinning such as a receding hairline or widening part. It also treats traction alopecia, hair loss and breakage from consistently tight hairstyles or extensions. Microneedling is also effective for telogen effluvium, temporary shedding due to stress, illness, childbirth, or medication, and general, diffuse thinning linked to hormonal changes, aging, or nutritional deficiencies.
Every hair and scalp treatment plan starts with an assessment of your scalp condition, goals, and lifestyle factors, so we can recommend the option, PDRN or Exosomes/Purasomes, that fits your specific concerns.
These microneedling treatments are ideal for anyone looking to restore hair density, strengthen thinning strands, and achieve a healthier, fuller scalp.
PDRN Microneedling in Calgary
PDRN microneedling is a treatment for skin rejuvenation. It works by infusing PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a regenerative complex derived from purified salmon DNA, directly into the skin. Once absorbed, PDRN stimulates collagen and elastin production, supports cellular regeneration, and accelerates your skin’s natural healing process.
Clinically, this translates to firmer, more elastic skin, improved hydration and texture, and a visible reduction in fine lines and inflammation. Because we use a clinical-grade PDRN serum sourced from clean, controlled conditions, treatments are formulated for effectiveness and consistent results, including faster healing and recovery after your procedure.
This treatment is designed for clients looking to refine skin texture, reduce visible signs of aging, and achieve the radiant, glass skin glow PDRN is known for.

Expect initial improvement within days, with more visible changes building over the following 3-4 weeks as new collagen forms. We'll walk you through your timeline and any follow-up sessions needed, so you can track your progress with confidence. |

Post-Treatment Care for Microneedling
