Wrinkles occur when the middle layer of the skin, or dermis, becomes thinner. This thinning is caused by a loss of collagen fibres which support the dermis and keep it plump with moisture. As the dermis loosens, creases appear on our skin in the form of wrinkles.
Two key natural processes must be stimulated in order to reverse and prevent wrinkles:
- Collagen Production
- Moisture Retention
We offer a variety of wrinkle solutions here in Winnipeg to stimulate collagen production and moisture retention.

Microneedling
Microneedling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is an effective treatment that uses a pen-like tool to create tiny micro-punctures in the skin to promote cellular turn-over for skin rejuvenation.
OxyGeneo Facial
Oxygeneo stimulates natural skin oxygenation leading to immediately noticeable youthful, rejuvenated skin and a radiant glow.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser uses a specialized technology that divides the laser beam into thousands of tiny columns of light to address signs of aging such as wrinkles.
These columns of light create microscopic wounds in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process. As the skin heals, old and damaged skin cells are replaced with new, healthy ones, diminishing wrinkles.
PicoSure Laser
This revolutionizing laser treatment provides both gentle and efficient treatment of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. It also resurfaces the skin to significantly diminish unwanted pigmentation such as age spots.
Wrinkles and Pigmentation Treatment
Our Wrinkles and Pigmentation Treatment, also known as ThreeForMe, is the proven way to get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage and unsightly veins, all at the same time.
Skin Tightening Treatment
Gently heats your skin to trigger your body’s natural response to produce new collagen.
The new collagen fibers are tight, dense and neatly organized giving you tighter, younger-looking skin!
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes wrinkles?
Wrinkles primarily form as a result of the natural aging process. Over time, the skin loses collagen, elasticity, and moisture, making it prone to fine lines and creases. Factors such as prolonged sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and facial expressions can also contribute to wrinkle formation.
Treatments centre around rebuilding collagen and elastin, increasing the skin’s hydration levels, and moisturizing to prevent loss of skin hydration.
Which treatment should I choose for my wrinkles?
Choosing the right treatment for your wrinkles depends on the depth and type of wrinkles, your desired results, and how comfortable you are with the procedures.
-
For Intensive Anti-Aging: The ThreeForMe treatment is your most powerful option, as it dives deep into the skin layers, promoting collagen and elastin production which are key components for youthful skin.
-
Deep Laser Treatment: Fractional laser is another robust choice, targeting deeper layers of the skin to rejuvenate and boost collagen and elastin.
-
Microneedling Options: If you’re looking for alternatives to energy-based treatments, consider Microneedling or Skin Re-Volumizer (Beauty Booster). Both procedures utilize microneedling techniques. The difference is that the Skin Re-Volumizer also infuses hyaluronic acid into the skin during the procedure, providing immediate hydration and plumpness.
-
For Fine Lines: TempSure RF skin tightening is specifically designed to target and smooth out fine lines and contour facial features. However, to get the best wrinkle-smoothing results, consider combining it with either laser treatments or microneedling. This combination approach helps in treating both deep and superficial wrinkles effectively.
-
Regular Maintenance: To maintain the health and vitality of your skin’s upper layers and prolong the benefits of the more intensive treatments, incorporate either the OxyGeneo Super Facial or a needle-free mesotherapy facial into your monthly skin care regimen.
How can fractional laser treatment help with wrinkles?
Fractional laser is a cutting-edge treatment that divides the laser beam into thousands of tiny columns, targeting signs of aging like wrinkles.
These micro-columns create miniature wounds that stimulate the body’s healing response. As the skin recuperates, old, damaged cells are replaced with fresh ones, visibly reducing wrinkles and enhancing overall skin texture.
What is the Skin Re-Volumizer (Beauty Booster) treatment, and how does it combat wrinkles?
How it’s done:
The Re-Volumizer Beauty Booster works by microneedling hyaluronic acid directly into the skin.
This is performed using a device that uses suction to ensure the perfect tightness of the skin for uniform distribution and depth of the product across the treatment area. It uses 9 tiny needles simultaneously to microneedle HA into the skin.
What it does:
When microneedled, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge within the dermis, absorbing moisture and expanding. This expansion helps to fill out the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and providing more youthful, plump skin.
The added hydration also improves the overall health and resilience of the skin, making it appear firmer and plumper.
What is the most potent energy-based treatment for wrinkles at Total Wrapture?
The Wrinkles & Pigmentation Treatment combines laser and intense pulse lighting to address wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, and visible veins concurrently.
This comprehensive approach ensures a rejuvenated appearance by tackling multiple skin concerns in one session.
Can RF Skin Tightening (TempSure) help with wrinkles?
Absolutely! TempSure RF complements other facial treatments, enhancing their effects on wrinkles and fine lines.
It uses radiofrequency energy to warm the skin and stimulate the body’s collagen production mechanism. As new collagen fibers form, they’re tight and organized, providing a firmer, youthful complexion.
What role does microneedling play in wrinkle reduction?
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a potent technique involving a device that makes micro-punctures in the skin.
These tiny wounds stimulate cellular turnover and boost collagen production, two crucial processes for skin revitalization and wrinkle diminishment.
For monthly maintenance, which treatments would you recommend?
For consistent upkeep and ongoing nourishment, the OxyGeneo Super Facial or a needle-free mesotherapy facial are highly recommended. Monthly TempSure RF skin tightening complements this.
These treatments deeply nourish the skin, ensuring it remains hydrated, radiant, and resistant to the formation of new wrinkles.
Once you have completed a session of laser or microneedling (including Beauty Booster Skin Re-Volumizer) treatments, we still recommend coming in a few times during the year to combat new signs of aging with these advanced treatments.
Are there any side effects to these treatments?
While all of our treatments are safe and registered with Health Canada, some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity after laser or microneedling.
You will receive personalized aftercare instructions to minimize immediate effects.
How soon can I see results from anti-wrinkle treatments?
While many treatments offer immediate or short-term results, the full benefits often become more evident as the skin undergoes its natural healing and regeneration processes as well as triggered skin cycles within the next 28 days after laser, RF, or microneedling treatments. Regular treatments and maintenance can further enhance and prolong these results.
What is a Skin Cycle?
A monthly skin cycle is the natural process of skin cell turnover and renewal. Our skin constantly undergoes a cycle of cell growth, collagen production, maturation, and shedding. Energy-based treatments (laser/photofacial/RF) or microneedling trigger a new skin cycle with increased collagen production. After each triggered skin cycle, your skin shows increasing improvements such as density, tone, firmness, and smoothness. Results become increasingly noticeable after each treatment in a planned span of time.
Thanks to your body’s natural skin cycles, you can keep improving your results. Multiple energy-based skin care treatments, or microneedling, are needed to achieve excellent outcomes. Since the skin cycle takes time, a single treatment is not sufficient to produce significant and long-lasting results.
Why do I need multiple treatments for better results?
By undergoing a series of treatments spaced apart over a period of time, we can harness the cumulative effects of these energy-based treatments, allowing for continuous improvement in skin texture, tone, and tightness. This approach ensures that the skin is consistently stimulated and rejuvenated throughout its natural cycle, leading to more noticeable and transformative outcomes over time.
This transformative effect commences during each treatment and continues to unfold in the days, weeks, and months that follow as your stimulated cells undergo rejuvenation. Based on your desired outcomes, your laser technician will meticulously tailor a customized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs.
