Medical-Grade MicroNeedling in Winnipeg

Skin resurfacing is a medical procedure, not a simple spa service. While many clinics in Winnipeg operate in isolation, the medical aesthetic team at The First Glance works under the direct mentorship of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.

Beyond the Weekend Course Our nurses and technicians possess a depth of anatomical knowledge that goes far beyond standard certification. By training alongside our surgeons, our team understands the complex layers of the dermis, ensuring your treatment is performed at the optimal depth for safe, transformative results.

The "Surgical-Grade" Standard We adhere to the highest standards of sterility and safety. This surgeon-led oversight ensures your MicroNeedling treatment is performed with exceptional precision for results that are safer, more effective, and visibly superior to spa-grade alternatives.

Everyone's skin type is unique, which is why we offer three distinct ways to experience MicroNeedling:

01. Standalone MicroNeedling. Perfect for maintaining skin health, shrinking pores, and improving overall texture.

• How it works: The sterile needles focus on breaking up old collagen strands to pave the way for new, healthy tissue.

• The Result: A natural, refreshed look with smoother, thicker, and tighter skin.

02. MicroNeedling + VAMP™ (Salmon DNA / PDRN). Our signature "Glass Skin" treatment.

• How it works: While the device is repeatedly puncturing the surface, we infuse purified salmon DNA deep into the Derma.

• The Result: Intense cellular repair and hydration that leaves the Epidermis looking luminous and incredibly smooth.

03. MicroNeedling + PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). The ultimate biological boost using your own "liquid gold."

• How it works: We use your blood’s concentrated growth factors to accelerate the healing of the micro-channels.

• The Result: Maximum collagen induction for those targeting deep wrinkles, acne scarring, or significant skin laxity.

Can you get MicroNeedling and an IPL Photofacial in the same session? Yes—and the results are transformative. While MicroNeedling focuses on the texture of your skin (scars, pores, and fine lines), IPL targets pigment and redness (sun damage, age spots, and rosacea). By performing them together, we address the "surface" and the "structure" simultaneously.

• How it works: We typically perform the IPL Photofacial first to lift pigmentation and zap redness. We immediately follow with MicroNeedling to stimulate collagen and "push" healing nutrients into the skin.

• The Benefit: You get double the results in half the time, leaving you with skin that is both smoother and more even-toned.

During the procedure, a professional MicroNeedling device uses sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin.

• Breaking Down Old Tissue: The needles reach deep into the Derma layer to break up old, rigid collagen strands that contribute to scarring and wrinkles.

• Controlled Stimulation: These tiny punctures cause the skin to bleed slightly, which is a vital signal to your body to begin the healing process.

• Boosting Fibers: This action immediately stimulates the production of new elastin fibers and fresh collagen.

Once the healing process is complete, the structure of your skin is fundamentally changed from the inside out.

• Deeper Rejuvenation: The treatment affects both the Epidermis and the Dermal layers, resulting in structural improvements.

• The Final Result: As new collagen fills in the micro-channels, you are left with smoother, thicker, and tighter skin.

As we age, our skin naturally thins, making wrinkles and imperfections more visible. By increasing the thickness of the dermal layer through MicroNeedling, we provide a more resilient "foundation" for your face, leading to a long-lasting, natural glow.

While MicroNeedling initiates the healing process, Medical Grade Skincare provides the "fuel" your skin needs to rebuild. Because the procedure involves repeatedly puncturing the skin and creating thousands of micro-channels, your skin's absorption rate sky-rockets.

Unlike "drugstore" brands, medical-grade products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and are designed to reach the Derma layer, where true cellular change happens.

• Pre-Treatment Prep: Starting a professional regimen 2–4 weeks before your session strengthens the Epidermis, ensuring your skin is resilient and ready for the treatment.

• The "Golden Window": Immediately after your session, those open channels allow specialized serums to penetrate deep into the Derma to stimulate the production of elastin fibers and collagen more effectively than topical application alone.

• Faster Healing: Using clinical-strength growth factors and antioxidants helps transition the skin from the "slight bleeding" and inflammatory phase to the smoother, thicker, and tighter phase much faster.
