Revitalize Your Skin's Appearance
Rejuvenate your skin with our expert microneedling treatments at Sensei Medical Aesthetics in West Kelowna. Our skilled team customizes each session to boost collagen, improve texture, and help you achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion.
During the treatment, our trained professionals use the DP4 device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. This action triggers collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
The procedure typically lasts about 60 minutes. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to ensure comfort.
Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn, which usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes, with noticeable improvements developing over several weeks as collagen production increases.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s needs.
Results include smoother, firmer skin and a more even complexion, with continued improvements over time.

FAQ
Microneedling with the DP4 device is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The DP4 device features advanced technology for precision, making it effective in treating concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time, with minimal downtime and noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture.
Microneedling with the DP4 is safe for all skin types and tones. However, individuals with active skin infections or certain skin conditions should consult with our specialists to determine suitability.
For optimal results, microneedling with DP4 is typically recommended every 4–6 weeks. This allows your skin time to heal and collagen to build between sessions. Depending on your skin's needs and goals, our team will help determine the ideal treatment schedule. A series of 3–6 treatments is usually recommended for the best results, followed by maintenance treatments every 3–6 months to keep your skin rejuvenated and glowing.
There is typically minimal downtime. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within 24–48 hours. You may also experience some mild dryness or flaking as your skin heals, but this is temporary. Most clients return to their regular activities immediately, with makeup usually being safe to apply after 24 hours.
The results can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on your skin's condition and the specific concerns being treated. As microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, your skin continues to improve over time. The exact duration of results will vary from person to person based on lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare.
Absolutely. Microneedling can be combined with treatments like chemical peels or LED therapy to enhance overall skin
rejuvenation.
