Microneedling Dermapen Treatment in Winnipeg

Dermapen (or DP4) uses fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin's surface at the treatment area. These punctures are superficial and do not penetrate deeply. These micro-wounds activate the skin’s natural healing response, leading to the growth of new skin cells. The healing process releases growth factors, which stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, essential for skin rejuvenation. This process replaces old skin cells with new ones, effectively dissolving damaged skin and revealing a revitalized appearance.

To ensure a comfortable experience during Dermapen micro-needling, a topical anesthetic is applied about 30 minutes before the procedure, making the treatment very comfortable.

Many patients typically observe a noticeable skin tone and texture enhancement following just one Microneedling session. The complete benefits of this rejuvenating treatment usually become evident within a few weeks of your treatment, and your skin's quality continues to improve over several months as new collagen develops following the session.

Typically, one Dermapen session is sufficient for most patients to achieve their desired results. However, multiple sessions might be necessary depending on individual skin types and specific goals. We often advise undergoing four treatments, spaced one month or six weeks apart, for the best outcomes. A package of 4 treatments is available.

The Dermapen efficiently performs 1,300 micro punctures per second. This high rate of punctures effectively encourages the skin to produce collagen and elastin, essential for skin rejuvenation, while maintaining normal skin functions.

Microneedling is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. It's also unsuitable for those on Accutane or blood-thinning medications. People with serious health or autoimmune conditions should avoid this treatment. Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area are also contraindications.

Post-micro-needling, expect your skin to appear pink, similar to sunburn, and to feel warm. The duration of redness varies depending on the treatment's depth – it may fade by the evening or last a few days to a week. Typically, skin feels dry for a few days after the treatment. In cases of acne scarring treatment, mild to moderate peeling may occur post-treatment.

One session starts at $400. Packages are available. PRP can also be added for an additional cost.
