Microneedling Winnipeg

Microneedling remarkably resurfaces your skin through enhanced collagen production, improved texture, increased radiance, and a more youthful appearance, making it an appealing option for reducing:

• Stubborn acne scars: Both pigmented (dark spot) and atrophic (indented) scars are among the most sought-after concerns that microneedling targets effectively. It is renowned for its ability to improve the appearance of these types of scars by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response and promoting collagen production.

• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, restoring a more youthful complexion.
• Chicken Pox Scars: The controlled micro-injuries induced by microneedling aids in reducing the appearance of chicken pox scars, promoting smoother skin texture.
• Stubborn Dark Spots or Age Spots: By promoting skin cell turnover and improving overall skin tone, microneedling helps fade stubborn dark spots or age spots, revealing a more even complexion.
• Dull Skin: Microneedling rejuvenates dull skin by stimulating blood circulation, promoting cellular turnover, and enhancing the skin’s natural glow.
• Sun Damage: Microneedling assists in repairing sun-damaged skin by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, leading to improved texture, tone, and reduced sun damage effects.
• Large Pores: The micro-injuries caused by microneedling helps minimize the appearance of large pores by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin’s surface.
• Skin Resurfacing: Microneedling enhances overall skin resurfacing by improving the skin’s texture, reducing roughness, resulting in a smoother, more refined complexion. Even if you don’t have specific concerns, microneedling is a powerful treatment for overall skin rejuvenation, promoting a more youthful, radiant, and refreshed appearance.

Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diverse skin types and tones. All of our advanced treatments begin with a thorough skin consultation. Your expert skin technician will discuss your medical history with you while studying your skin to ensure you are an ideal candidate for this treatment.

While a session of microneedling treatments is life-changing for many, we prioritize your safety above all else. If you’re currently experiencing an autoimmune disease, diabetes, taking blood thinners, or have a history of slow recovery, we will recommend alternative treatments. Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to guide you toward the best path for your skin’s lasting transformation.

A session of microneedling treatments (about one a month for 1-3 months) will change your skin and visibly reduce:

• Stubborn acne scars
• Wrinkles and Fine Lines
• Chicken Pox Scars 
• Dark Spots or Age Spots
• Dull Skin
• Sun Damage
• The Appearance of Large Pores

Even if you don’t have specific concerns, microneedling is a powerful treatment for overall skin rejuvenation, promoting a more youthful, radiant, and refreshed appearance.

No, microneedling does not hurt when it is performed by our experienced skin technicians. However, you may experience a mild sensation that varies from person to person. Our guests describe it as a ‘tingling’ feeling. 

Microneedling is well-tolerated and discomfort is further minimized due to the use of topical numbing creams. Our skilled skin technicians prioritize your comfort throughout the process to ensure a positive and comfortable experience.

After each microneedling treatment, you will start noticing improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days to a week. However, significant changes typically become more apparent over the course of 3-6 weeks as the skin’s natural healing and remodelling process takes place. A series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart will likely be recommended based on your skin’s condition and targeted concerns.

While results vary from person to person based on their unique skin and regeneration process, here is what you will likely observe after each of these treatments:

Treatment 1:

Enhanced Skin Texture: You will notice a refinement in skin texture, with a reduction in fine lines and roughness.

Mild Improvement in Scars and Spots: Depending on the severity of the scars and spots (age spots/sun spots), you will likely observe a mild improvement in their appearance, such as reduced scar depth, smoother edges, and spot fading.

Increased Skin Radiance: Microneedling promotes a healthier, more radiant complexion, giving your skin a youthful glow.

Treatment 2:

Noticeable Reduction in fine lines: After the second treatment, you will experience a more significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in smoother skin.

Visible Improvement in Scars and Spots: The targeted microneedling sessions lead to a more noticeable improvement in the appearance of scars, with reduced spot visibility, smoother texture, and likely shallower depth.

Improved Skin Elasticity: The skin’s elasticity and firmness is further enhanced, giving your skin a lifted and rejuvenated appearance.

Treatment 3:

Wrinkles and fine line reduction: By the third treatment, you can expect a significant reduction of the appearance of fine lines and further diminishment of wrinkle depth, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Continued Scar and Spot Improvement: The targeted microneedling sessions further improve the overall appearance of scars with continued smoothing, blending of edges, and reduction in depth.

Overall Skin Transformation: With three treatments, your skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity will undergo a noticeable transformation, providing an even skin tone, a smoother finish, dewy radiance, and a refreshed and revitalized look.

Further treatments: 

Although we will likely recommend that you start with a session of 3 treatments, your skin’s appearance and targetted conditions may necessitate a few more treatments for dramatic changes. With each subsequent treatment, microneedling stimulates ongoing collagen production, further reducing lines, spots, and scars and improving skin elasticity, firmness, and overall quality. You will enjoy a more lifted, plump, and revitalized appearance. 

Results as your skin regenerates: 

Microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and cellular turnover. It takes a few weeks for the newly produced collagen to mature and for the skin to regenerate and remodel. While all your results may not be immediate, you will enjoy increasingly visible results as your skin regenerates.

Thanks to increased blood circulation and improved skin cell turnover, you will continue enjoying ongoing improvements in skin radiance and a healthier complexion as your skin regenerates. Consistency in treatment sessions and following proper aftercare instructions maximize the potential benefits and yield more significant results.

Generally, you can expect some mild redness and sensitivity immediately after the procedure, which may last for a day or two. The skin may also feel slightly tight or dry during this time.

We typically recommended to wait for at least 24 to 48 hours before applying any mineral makeup and about 72 hours before using other cosmetic products to the treated area. This allows the skin to properly heal and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. However, it’s important to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your Total Wrapture skin technician as they will have specific recommendations based on your unique skin and the intensity of your customized treatment.

While you may need to wait a couple of days before using makeup, microneedling actually enhances the absorption of skincare products applied after the treatment, making them more effective and lending you a dewy, youthful glow. Everyone’s healing process differs somewhat, and your experienced skin technician will provide guidance on the perfect post-treatment skincare products to nourish and protect your unique skin during the aftercare process.

Cleanse Your Skin: On the evening of the microneedling treatment, gently cleanse your skin using a mild, non-irritating cleanser. Your skin technician can recommend the perfect one for your unique skin. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products that may irritate the treated area.

Use Prescribed Skincare: Follow the skincare routine recommended by your qualified skin technician. This may include specialized serums, moisturizers, or post-treatment creams to nourish and protect the skin during the healing process.

Avoid Sun and Sunscreen for 12 Hours. Then lather up: Refrain from applying sunscreen or any sun-protective products for at least 12 hours after the treatment. This allows the skin to fully absorb the beneficial effects of the microneedling process. After the initial 12 hours, it’s essential to incorporate daily sun protection into your skincare routine to shield the treated skin from harmful UV rays.

Stay Away from Certain Activities: Avoid waxing, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning beds for a couple weeks. These activities can irritate the skin.

Clean Your Sunglasses and Phone: Before touching your face, ensure that any items that come into contact with your skin, such as sunglasses or your phone, are clean. This minimizes the risk of introducing bacteria or other contaminants to the healing skin.

Follow any specific aftercare instructions: Your skin technician will tailor the instructions based on your individual needs, unique skin,  and the intensity of the treatment. 

During a microneedling treatment, the following processes occur:

• Micro-injuries: The microneedling device creates tiny channels or micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.
• Controlled Inflammation: The micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to a controlled inflammatory reaction in the treated area.
• Collagen Production: The body responds to the micro-channels by producing new collagen and elastin fibres, which are essential for skin structure and elasticity.
• Neovascularization: The treatment stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the treated area and promoting skin rejuvenation.
• Enhanced Absorption: The microchannels allow for better absorption of skincare products applied topically during and after the treatment as part of your routine. This increases their effectiveness and your dewy glow from improved moisture penetration.

After a microneedling treatment, the following biological processes occur:

• Healing and Regeneration: Your body initiates the healing process, repairing the micro-injuries and generating new skin cells.
• Collagen Remodeling: Over time, the newly produced collagen fibers reorganize and remodel, leading to improved skin texture, firmness, and reduced appearance of scars or wrinkles.
• Skin Renewal: The skin undergoes a process of renewal, shedding dead skin cells and replacing them with new, healthier cells, resulting in a fresher and more youthful complexion that is less marked by scars after each triggered skin cycle.
• Long-Term Benefits: As the healing and remodelling processes continue, the skin’s overall quality and appearance improve over time, with enhanced texture, reduced wrinkles, diminished scars,  improved skin tone, and a more radiant glow.

Specific biological processes and timelines may vary from person to person and depend on factors such as the depth of treatment, individual healing capabilities, and overall skin condition.

We use Dermaspark, a microneedling system that distinguishes itself from other kinds in several ways:

Needle Quality: Dermaspark microneedling devices are known for their high-quality, medical-grade needles, ensuring safety, precision and consistency during the treatment. The needles are designed to create controlled micro-channels in the skin for optimal collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.

Adjustable Needle Depth: Our Dermaspark system includes adjustable needle depth settings. This allows your skin technician to customize the treatment based on your specific skin condition and concerns as well as the targeted areas of treatment. The ability to adjust the needle depth ensures a tailored approach, enhancing safety and optimizing results.

Advanced Technology and Safety Features: Dermaspark microneedling systems incorporate advanced technology and safety features to enhance the overall treatment experience as needed, such as vibration assistance and built-in safety mechanisms that protect the skin from injury.

Stubborn acne scars, including both pigmented (dark spot) and atrophic (indented) scars, are among the primary reasons why people of all ages seek out microneedling. It is renowned for its ability to improve the appearance of these types of scars by stimulating the skin’s natural healing response and promoting collagen production.

For pigmented acne scars, microneedling encourages skin cell turnover, helping to fade the dark spots and restore a more even complexion. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to the gradual reduction of pigmentation irregularities.

In the case of atrophic acne scars, microneedling’s mechanism of action is particularly beneficial. The treatment stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which can help plump and fill in the indented areas, making the scars less noticeable over time. Microneedling also enhances overall skin texture, resulting in a smoother and more even surface. 

Bonus: You can expect the same results with any chickenpox scars you may have!

By targeting both pigmented and atrophic scars, microneedling offers a comprehensive approach to scar treatment. Through a series of sessions, microneedling significantly improves the appearance of stubborn acne scars, restoring confidence and promoting a a confident, smoother complexion.
