​Top Micro-Needling Treatment in Winnipeg

Micro-needling is a non-invasive treatment that improves fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and improves the skin’s overall tone, smoothness, and appearance. Our DP4 DERMAPEN Micro-needling system treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production in your skin, creating a more youthful, smoother appearance over time. This procedure involves pinpointing tiny needles used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin to provoke the skin cells into increasing the production of collagen and elastin. Once the skin’s natural healing occurs, increased collagen production fills in and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and creases, resulting in improved skin texture and brighter, smoother skin.

Micro-needling products create temporary micro-pinpoint channels in the skin. Solutions applied immediately after treatment penetrate the micro-channels and help remove pigmentation and melasma or add to skin hydration, vibrancy and glow.

Treatment is usually completed within 45 minutes.

Your skin will be flushed pink and red immediately following treatment. It is temporary and typically resolves entirely in as little as 1-3 days. However, some patients who undergo more intensive treatments involving overlapping passes may experience redness for additional days.

As your natural collagen production increases due to the treatment, you will see visible improvements for up to six months. While one treatment may be sufficient to heal minor skin damage, two to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are usually required for optimal results. Patients with advanced sun damage, deep creases, wrinkles, or acne scars may require additional treatments for maximum rejuvenation.

Before the treatment, a topical numbing gel (anesthetic) may be applied to the face or treatment area to reduce the discomfort you might experience during the procedure. Most patients do not require numbing.

The number of sessions required varies based on the peel's depth and your individual goals. Dr. Minuk will guide you during the consultation.

Dr. Minuk will provide specific post-peel instructions, which may include avoiding makeup for some time to allow the skin to heal.

Results become more apparent as the skin heals and regenerates. Depending on the peel's depth, you may notice improvements within a few days to weeks.
