Microneedling in Winnipeg

Microneedling uses a state-of-the-art pen equipped with 12 sterile, tiny needles. This device swiftly glides over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. These minor wounds kickstart your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production – essential proteins that maintain our skin’s firmness and smooth texture. Suitable for treating the face, neck, and décolletage, microneedling is an excellent anti-aging solution that works well between laser treatments and injectables.

See What Clients are Saying

My experience with SKIN Clinics Winnipeg was nothing short of exceptional. Their consultation process was truly phenomenal, and they guided me towards the perfect treatment for my skin and suggested products for me to use at home to maximize the results from my treatment. The staff's warmth and expertise is really impressive, and it was a seamless experience from start to finish. It was more than just a consultation - it was a visit with true professionals that care about their patients.

I came to the skin clinic for a treatment. This particular treatment I had just had done two months before at another clinic, and was so disappointed with the results. They assured me that if I was not happy, I could come back, but the results were absolutely amazing and I look forward to going back for more treatments at the skin clinic. The clinic is beautiful and the receptionists were so welcoming. You will not be disappointed.

The staff was so friendly and professional. I have been getting compliment about the microneedling treatment I got.

Without a doubt, the interior of this med spa is beautiful with warm and cozy vibes. The staffs are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body where there are skin concerns.

+ Is microneedling for everyone?

While microneedling is suitable for most skin types, we take extra precautions with clients who have autoimmune diseases or are prone to keloid scarring, and we cannot perform this procedure on pregnant or breastfeeding patients.

While there are microneedling devices designed for at-home use, it’s recommended to have the procedure performed by a professional. They possess the expertise needed to guarantee proper technique, hygiene, and safety during the procedure.

A numbing cream is applied before treatment making the procedure tolerable for most people. Throughout the session, patients may notice a slight vibration sensation, with sensitivity levels differing across the treated areas.

Microneedling is generally safe, but as with any procedure, there are risks. Infection, scarring, and other complications may occur if the procedure is not performed by a qualified provider or if proper aftercare instructions are not followed.
