Cosmetic microneedling uses a pen with fine needles to make tiny, controlled marks in the top layer of skin.
It is used to soften the look of fine lines, uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores, and to leave skin looking smoother and fresher.
This is a cosmetic service, not a medical one. Results are gradual and vary, so it is usually done as a course of 3 to 6 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart. We will tell you honestly what to expect for your skin before you commit.
Pricing is quoted at your consultation, once Geet has seen your skin and you have agreed on a plan.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- You would like the look of fine lines or uneven texture softened
- You want smoother-looking skin without a long recovery
- You are happy to commit to a course and a consistent home routine
- You prefer a gradual, natural change
Better to wait, or check with your doctor, if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have active acne, eczema, a cold sore, or any skin infection in the area
- You are on blood thinners, took isotretinoin within the last 6 to 12 months, have uncontrolled diabetes, or are having chemotherapy: wait or get your doctor's OK first
- You have a keloid tendency, or sunburned or recently tanned skin
What happens at the appointment
Consultation and skin check
We look at your skin, talk through your goals, and review a full health and consent form. Pricing is quoted here, and the consultation is free.
Cleanse and prepare
Skin is cleansed, and we discuss whether topical numbing is right for you.
Microneedling
Using a single-use sterile needle cartridge and new disposables, we work across the area in passes. Depth is set for each area of your face.
Soothe and aftercare
A calming mask is applied and you leave with written aftercare and a suggested schedule for your next session.
Afterwards
How it settles, stage by stage.
First 24 hours
Skin looks pink and feels warm and tight, a bit like mild sunburn.
Days 2 to 3
Redness fades. Skin may feel dry or rough.
Days 4 to 7
Light flaking is possible. Skin starts to look smoother.
Weeks 4 to 6
Skin has settled and is ready for the next session in your course.
Aftercare
- Use only gentle cleanser and moisturiser for the first few days. Winnipeg winters are drying, so keep moisturiser on hand.
- No makeup for 24 hours, and no active skincare such as retinol or acids for at least 3 days.
- Avoid saunas, hot tubs, heavy sweating and swimming for 48 hours.
- Do not pick at flaking skin.
- Use SPF every day, and avoid tanning and strong sun between sessions.
How long it lasts
Microneedling results are gradual and are not permanent. Skin continues to change with age, sun and skincare, so we plan a course and then suggest a maintenance schedule if you want one. Daily SPF and a steady home routine make the biggest difference to how long you keep the look.
Common questions
What does microneedling do?
It is a cosmetic service that softens the look of fine lines, uneven texture and enlarged-looking pores. We do not make medical claims. Results are gradual and vary from person to person.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most people feel pressure and light scratching, and some areas are more sensitive than others. We can talk about topical numbing at your consultation. Tell us if you need to pause.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually a course of 3 to 6 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart. We confirm the number after looking at your skin. Results build gradually, so one session rarely tells the whole story.
How long is the downtime?
Expect redness for 24 to 48 hours and light dryness for a few days. Most people go back to work the next day, though we suggest planning around big events. Avoid makeup for 24 hours.
Who should not get microneedling?
Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with active acne, eczema, cold sores or infection in the area. Wait or ask your doctor first if you are on blood thinners, took isotretinoin in the last 6 to 12 months, are having chemotherapy, have uncontrolled diabetes or a keloid tendency.
Do you offer microneedling with exosomes?
No. Health Canada's 2026 position is that exosome products used with microneedling are not cosmetics, so we do not combine them. Our exosome serum facial is a separate, topical-only service.

A consultation is where Geet looks at your skin, draws the shape or matches the tone, and gives you a clear quote. You decide after that.
