Microneedling & RF Microneedling Training

Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — is one of the most effective and versatile treatments in modern aesthetics, used to address acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall skin texture. At BC Medical Clinic in Coquitlam, British Columbia, our microneedling course teaches you both traditional microneedling with serum infusion and advanced RF (radiofrequency) microneedling techniques.

Traditional microneedling uses a device with fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface, triggering the body's wound healing response and stimulating production of new collagen and elastin. Our training covers needle depth selection for different treatment areas and indications, treatment speed and technique, topical serum selection and transdermal delivery, and how to optimize the balance between therapeutic efficacy and client comfort. You will learn to work with professional-grade microneedling devices rather than consumer-grade derma rollers, understanding why professional tools deliver superior and more consistent results.

RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy delivered through insulated needle tips directly into the dermis, combining the collagen induction of microneedling with the thermal tightening effects of radiofrequency. This combination produces more dramatic results for skin tightening, scar revision, and wrinkle reduction than either modality alone. Our training covers RF energy principles, depth and energy calibration, treatment layering, and the differences between insulated and non-insulated needle configurations.

Hands-on training at our Coquitlam clinic includes performing both traditional and RF microneedling on real clients. You will assess skin conditions, select appropriate needle depths and energy settings, manage treatment delivery, apply post-treatment serums, and provide aftercare instructions. This practical experience is essential for developing the clinical skill and treatment speed that employers expect.

Microneedling is one of the most profitable treatments to add to any aesthetic practice — it requires relatively low equipment investment, has broad client appeal, and clients typically purchase treatment packages of 3 to 6 sessions. Graduates receive certification from BC Medical Clinic, Canadian College of Aesthetic Dermatology.
