Laser resurfacing in Winnipeg stands out as the most effective treatment for revitalizing skin texture and tone. Unlike injectables that relax muscles, fillers that modify shape, or surgery that lifts skin, laser works at a cellular level to resurface and renew.
Even small details in pigmentation—such as brightening skin, reducing acne scars, sun spots, or redness—can make a dramatic difference in how fresh and youthful your skin appears.
Addressing texture concerns, whether fine lines, wrinkles, or scars from cystic acne or past injuries, not only enhances smoothness but also boosts confidence in a way that goes beyond skin deep.
Here are seven key things to expect from your experience:
1. Your Laser Journey Starts with a Personalized Consultation
Before your first session, a consultation with an experienced laser technician will help determine your skin’s needs and goals. This includes a thorough assessment, a discussion of expected results, and a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your lifestyle.
Your technician will also answer any questions to ensure you feel confident about the process.
2. Flexible Payment Options Make Beautiful Skin Accessible
Achieving clear, radiant skin should not feel out of reach, nor should it be something you feel like you have to put off. Your skin technician will discuss the availability of monthly plans or membership savings that ease any cost concerns you may have.
Investing in your skin today means enjoying the confidence that comes with long-lasting results.
3. Your Skin Will Be Prepped for Treatment
To ensure a smooth experience, your laser technician will cleanse the treatment area while you relax. This step removes any surface impurities and prepares your skin to absorb the benefits of the laser.
4. The Treatment Is Quick and Feels Like Warm Pulses
The laser handpiece will glide over your skin, delivering pulses of energy. Most people describe the sensation as short, warm pulses, similar to the feeling of a sparkler touching the skin. The treatment itself is quick, and many first-timers are surprised by how comfortable it is.
If you have sensitive skin, you can opt for a numbing add-on when booking. Applied during the prepping step, it takes about 15 minutes to activate—giving you some time to relax before your treatment begins.
5. Redness and Puffiness Are Temporary
After treatment, you will notice some redness or puffiness, which looks and feels much like a light sunburn. This is a normal response and typically subsides within a day or two. This may be a little longer if you have a more sensitive skin type or are treated with stronger settings.
Some people may choose to take a brief social downtime after treatment. However, there is no need to take time off work or daily activities, as most resume their routines immediately while following proper aftercare instructions.
6. Aftercare Is Simple and Personalized
Your laser technician will provide aftercare instructions based on your skin type. Avoiding prolonged sun exposure, heat, and humidity (such as saunas or heavy workouts) for a few days helps optimize your results.
7. Most People Return to Their Day Right Away
Although your skin may look flushed, most of our clients do not feel like they need to hide away after treatment. Some opt for a short social downtime, but most continue with their day as usual while following proper aftercare instructions.
A top recommendation for those who really want to cover the immediate redness while protecting their skin is Colorescience Tinted SPF, a safe, mineral-based sunscreen that provides foundation-like coverage. In fact, many who try it make it their daily go-to, because of its practical blend of buildable coverage and SPF 50 protection to delay aging from daylight exposure.

Looking for More in One Appointment?
Here are two blended treated options to get more skin enhancement out of your visit:
1. PicoSure Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Pigmentation & Texture Refinement Combined

2. Supersize the Brightening: Pigmentation Brightening Trio
For those looking for maximum skin clarity and radiance, this advanced, 3-step pigmentation treatment takes brightening to the next level by combining laser technology with deep exfoliation and infusion:
- Dermaplaning: Gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, creating the perfect base for enhanced absorption of active ingredients.
- PicoSure Laser Pigmentation Treatment: Precisely targets and breaks down pigment, addressing acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone while improving overall skin brightness.
- Mesotherapy Facial (noninvasive): Delivers a concentrated blend of hydrating and brightening ingredients, enhancing luminosity and promoting an even, radiant complexion.
This multi-step approach is designed to deliver optimal brightening and pigmentation correction, while maintaining the health and integrity of all skin tones—including deeper skin tones.
Fine Lines & Large Pores
PicoSure Laser Skin Rejuvenation
PicoSure Laser Skin Rejuvenation combines the skin-brightening benefits of PicoSure laser with an extra pass using the texture-focused handpiece to refine the appearance of pores, smooth fine lines, and improve overall skin texture.
It is ideal for targeting early signs of aging.
For a deeper focus on texture concerns such as wrinkles or textured scars, consider a Fractional Laser treatment for the face.
Wrinkles or Textured Scars
Fractional Laser
Fractional Laser produces microcolumns of energy that penetrate to a deeper layer of skin (the dermis). This causes the tissue around the targeted area to produce elastin (a stretchy protein needed for new, smooth skin) and diminish scars, wrinkles, marks, and brighten skin with each new layer of skin produced.
A few weeks separate each treatment to allow cell turnover and a new, less marked layer of skin to be produced each time
Redness, Age Spots, or Broken Capillaries
A photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to improve skin tone and clarity. It is often used to treat:
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea and redness
- Broken capillaries and visible veins
- Pigmented acne scars, age spots, and overall skin dullness
IPL emits a range of light wavelengths that penetrate different layers of the skin. This makes it highly effective for addressing multiple concerns in a single treatment.
Acne Scars
PicoSure laser’s Pigmentation Treatment (best for pigmented scars): Laser is a revolutionary solution for pigmented scars. Picosure laser uses ultra-short pulses to break down pigment into minuscule particles, enabling the body to dispose of them naturally and fade your scars. Results are often achieved in fewer sessions compared to traditional methods. It is one of the most comfortable laser treatments for scars.
Fractional Laser (best for atrophic/textured scars): Atrophic scars meet their match with fractional laser. This laser stimulates collagen production, restoring your skin’s natural texture and appearance. Gradually, the depressed areas fill in, leaving a smoother complexion. Fractional laser also treats pigmented scars and is a great option for treating both types of scars in the same appointment.
Microneedling (for both types): Microneedling is another option in the acne scar remedy game, and an alternative to laser for less pronounced scars. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries, igniting the body’s healing response and collagen synthesis. It is effective for both atrophic and pigmented scars.
Wrinkles, Pigmented Spots, & Anti-Aging
Wrinkles and Pigmentation Duo
This powerful anti-aging treatment is tailored for individuals prone to rednesss, and is specifically designed to target pigmentation, wrinkles, broken blood vessels, and deep tissue remodeling by combining the power of IPL photofacial technology and fractional laser resurfacing.
1. The treatment begins with the IPL photofacial, which effectively reduces pigmentation and addresses vascular issues by targeting discoloration and broken blood vessels, resulting in a more even skin tone.
2. Following this, the fractional resurfacing laser is used to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and remodeling skin tissue to improve texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance firmness.
This comprehensive approach ensures a clearer, smoother, and more youthful complexion, offering an all-encompassing solution for revitalizing the tone and texture of your skin.
Scarring and Deep Wrinkle Trio
Our advanced scarring and deep wrinkle fusion treatment series is specifically designed to rejuvenate and restore the skin’s youthful appearance. It is effective on all skin tones.
1. This comprehensive treatment begins with dermaplaning, a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, leaving the skin smooth and primed for further treatments.
2. Next, fractional laser is applied to target deep wrinkles and scars, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration.
3. Finally, our Mesotherapy Advance Anti-Aging treatment delivers a potent blend of revitalizing ingredients into the skin, enhancing elasticity, firmness, and overall radiance.
This powerful combination effectively reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking and feeling rejuvenated.
How Long Do Laser Resurfacing Results Last?
Laser resurfacing triggers a deep skin renewal process with results that continue unfolding over months after your last treatment. A standard treatment plan typically starts with three sessions, one per month, to achieve optimal results. Depending on your goals and skin condition, your laser technician may recommend more or less sessions.
Because your skin is constantly aging and responding to environmental factors, periodic maintenance sessions help sustain a smooth, firm, and even complexion.
Is Laser Resurfacing Worth It?
There is no other treatment as powerful for resurfacing the skin. While injectables target muscle movement, fillers change volume, and surgery lifts sagging skin, laser resurfacing directly improves skin texture and tone at a cellular level. Chemical peels and microneedling are great for addressing milder concerns or for maintenance, but laser remains unmatched for deep, long-lasting renewal.
How Many Laser Resurfacing Sessions Do You Need?
Most laser technicians recommend an initial series of three treatments, spaced a month apart. Some may need fewer sessions, while others opt for additional treatments depending on their skin goals. A customized plan ensures the best results.
If cost is a concern, there are flexible solutions, such as monthly plans and membership savings, to help you invest in confident skin without delay.
How Painful Is Laser Resurfacing?
Tolerance varies, but many find the sensation mild—often comparing it to the quick touch of a sparkler. The good news? A numbing service is available to add-on at booking. It will make the experience even more comfortable if you are prone to sensitivity.
The treatment is over faster than expected, and post-session discomfort is minimal—usually feeling like and resembling a mild sunburn that fades within 24 to 48 hours for most people.
Whether you want to smooth fine lines, reduce pigmentation, or improve skin texture, laser resurfacing delivers unparalleled results.
