Using a medical-grade, motorized device, controlled microchannels are created in the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin — key components for firm, resilient skin.
The result is not a dramatic change overnight, but a gradual shift toward smoother, clearer, more refined skin.
What Does DP4 Microneedling Improve?
This treatment is best suited for patients looking to improve:
It can also be used preventatively to help maintain skin quality before more visible aging sets in.
Treatment Areas
DP4 microneedling can be performed on:
A More Targeted Approach with Boosters
During treatment, specialized serums can be delivered into the skin through the microchannels created by microneedling. This allows for a more targeted approach depending on your concern.
Available boosters include:
MG-R.A.S
Skin renewal + scarring
Supports collagen production and helps improve fine lines and acne scarring.
MG-BL
Brightening
Helps reduce pigmentation and improve overall skin tone.
MG-CLR
Clarifying / acne
Designed for acne-prone skin to calm inflammation and support clearer skin.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
- Early concerns: fewer treatments may be sufficient
- Scarring or pigmentation: typically require a series
- Maintenance: every 3–6 months
Your plan is adjusted based on your skin and how it responds.
What to Expect
The treatment is controlled and consistent, designed to minimize discomfort while maintaining precision.

Where This Fits
DP4 microneedling is often part of a broader skin strategy.

HALO Laser — for more advanced resurfacing
We’ll help you choose the right approach based on your skin, not trends.
Why DP4 Microneedling at Toronto Plastic Surgery?
Microneedling is widely available. Results depend on how it’s performed.
At Toronto Plastic Surgery, DP4 treatments are approached with the same level of planning and precision used across all of our skin treatments.
Physician-led clinic
Treatments are performed within a medical environment, with protocols designed and overseen by plastic surgeons.
Appropriate depth and technique
Microneedling is adjusted based on the area and concern—whether that’s fine texture, acne scarring, or delicate zones like the under-eye or neck.
Selective use of boosters
Add-ons are used intentionally, not routinely. Each formulation is chosen based on what will actually benefit your skin.
Integrated treatment planning
Microneedling is not positioned as a one-size solution. When appropriate, we may recommend alternatives such as HALO laser for deeper resurfacing or tightening.
Focus on skin quality, not short-term change
The goal is gradual, consistent improvement—skin that looks healthier, smoother, and more refined over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
DP4 Treatment Plan
DP4 microneedling works best as part of a personalized treatment plan rather than a one-time appointment. Although many patients see a fresher, smoother look after a single treatment, a series is often recommended for more noticeable improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality.
Treatments start at $450
Series pricing available during consultation
