What Happens During an RMT Massage

What Happens During an RMT Massage

An RMT massage at Zen Quest Wellness follows 4 steps, starting with an assessment.

Intake form: complete it online before you arrive

Assessment: your therapist asks about your stress load, sleep and how your body feels today.

Pressure and comfort: you agree on pressure and pace together, and your therapist checks in throughout.

Hands-on work: professional massage therapy matched to what you shared.

A facial microneedling session at Zen Quest Wellness follows 4 steps: a readiness check, a gentle cleanse, 3 passes at 0.25 to 0.5 mm, and a hyaluronic acid serum. The passes create tiny, temporary micro-channels, a process also called collagen induction therapy.

Microneedling with hyaluronic acid then supports hydration while the channels are open. Most clients feel a mild, buzzing warmth and leave with redness like a mild sunburn.

Along with standard 60-minute RMT, you can book a session with a lymphatic drainage focus or one that adds fascial stretch.

Microneedling Recovery: Your 28-Day Roadmap

Benefits of RMT Massage at Zen Quest

Microneedling downtime is short. The most common side effects are redness, warmth and light peeling, mostly in the first 3 days.

Registered massage therapy at Zen Quest Wellness is hands-on care from a CCHPBC-registered therapist, shaped around what you share at the start of each session.

For busy Vancouver professionals, each visit is built to fit real life and support you in 3 clear ways.

Your body has the capacity to heal. Sometimes it just needs the right support to get there.

At Zen Quest Wellness, every treatment is chosen specifically for what you are experiencing, so you receive care that is built around you.

Timelines vary from person to person, so use this as a general guide.

Day 1-3

Benefit 1

Calm and Protect

Focused Work on Built-Up Tension

Light flaking or peeling may appear as the skin begins to shed. Use a gentle cleanser morning and night, apply daily sunscreen, and skip makeup for the first 24 hours if you can.

Each session focuses on the tension that builds up from long desk days and constant stress. Your therapist matches pressure and pace to how your body feels that day.

Day 4-8

Benefit 2

Skin Settles

Time to Rest and Recover

Redness fades and the skin begins to settle. Many clients notice a fresher, more even look around day 8. Keep up your sunscreen daily and hold off on active ingredients like retinol or acids until your practitioner clears them.

Registered massage therapy gives you a calm, quiet hour to slow down. Regular sessions fit easily into a routine built around stress, sleep and recovery.

Day 9-28

Collagen Builds

Care You Can Bill to Insurance

The skin continues to change below the surface as collagen builds over the following weeks. Stay consistent with sun protection, and plan your next session at your day 28 check-in so your practitioner can assess where you are and what comes next.

Sessions with our CCHPBC-registered massage therapists qualify for many BC extended health plans. We direct bill through Telus eClaims, except GreenShield, so the claim is handled for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does microneedling hurt, and how deep does it go?

What is a Registered Massage Therapist?

Most clients feel a mild, buzzing warmth across 3 passes at 0.25 to 0.5 mm. This shallow depth keeps the sensation manageable and downtime short, while opening channels for the hyaluronic acid serum. If you are sensitive, let your practitioner know at the start of your session.

A massage therapist registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC). CCHPBC sets education and practice standards in BC, and "RMT" is a protected title only registered therapists may use.

What is microneedling good for?

Do I need a referral for RMT?

Microneedling is a good fit if you want shallow needling with a planned recovery window and a session that pairs hands-on skin care with an integrative plan. Clients at Zen Quest Wellness typically book it for skin rejuvenation, and it works well alongside other facial sessions like acupuncture or lymphatic massage depending on what your skin needs at the time.

No referral is needed to book at Zen Quest Wellness. Some extended health plans ask for a physician's note before they reimburse, so check your plan details first.

Is microneedling covered by insurance?

How is RMT different from a spa massage?

Yes. Most extended health plans in BC cover acupuncture when performed by a registered TCM practitioner, with annual limits typically ranging from $300 to $1,000 depending on your plan.

A registered massage therapy session includes an assessment, a CCHPBC-registered therapist and a plan. That structure is the main difference in massage therapy vs spa massage, and it is also why RMT sessions can be billed to extended health plans.

Zen Quest Wellness offers direct billing through TELUS Health eClaims, which covers the majority of major Canadian insurers. In some cases, your insurer may require you to pay at the time of your appointment and claim reimbursement directly — this is determined by your individual policy, not by the clinic.

Note that GreenShield is not currently supported through our direct billing system. If you are unsure whether your plan qualifies for direct billing or would like us to check your coverage before your appointment, give us a call or stop by the clinic and we will confirm it for you.

Is microneedling safe?

Can I combine RMT with acupuncture?

Microneedling is generally well tolerated when your skin is calm and healthy. At Zen Quest Wellness, every session starts with a skin readiness check and uses a shallow 0.25 to 0.5 mm depth with sterile, single-use needle cartridges.

Redness and light peeling are the most common side effects, and we ask clients with active acne, eczema flares, open wounds, a recent sunburn, prescription retinoids, or isotretinoin (Accutane) in the last 6 months to wait.

Yes, RMT can sit within an integrative plan alongside acupuncture or osteopathic manual therapy. Your therapist can talk through how the sessions fit together at your first visit.

How does microneedling work?

Can you check my coverage before I book?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a device to create tiny, temporary micro-channels in the skin across 3 passes at 0.25 to 0.5 mm.

A hyaluronic acid serum is applied immediately after, absorbing into the skin while the channels are open to support hydration. The process is repeated in a series spaced about 4 weeks apart, as collagen continues to build over the weeks that follow each session.

Yes, call 236-200-5289 and we will check your coverage for you. If you are searching for an RMT near me with direct billing, we bill through Telus eClaims, except GreenShield.

How long after Accutane can I get microneedling

Wait at least 6 months after your last dose of isotretinoin (Accutane). Microneedling after Accutane also needs a timing check with your dermatologist, since isotretinoin affects how skin heals.

How do I care for skin after microneedling?

Is Non-RMT Massage covered by insurance?

Click on the button in the top right corner or here to book your acupuncture treatment. You can select your preferred practitioner and appointment time on our booking page.

No, it is not billable to insurance. It suits clients who want a relaxation-focused session. For sessions you can claim, book with one of our Registered Massage Therapists.

What if there's no glow by day 8?

At Zen Quest, every treatment begins with a root-cause assessment, so the work is targeted precisely to what your body needs.

What is your cancellation policy?

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy to keep our practitioners' schedules open and available for the rest of our beloved patients.
