Medical Dermatology Services for Healthy Skin

To get the best results from your Sculptra treatment, follow the easy “5-5-5 Rule.” This method involves massaging the treated areas for five minutes, five times a day, for five consecutive days. This simple routine aids in evenly distributing the Sculptra product beneath your skin, enhancing its ability to stimulate collagen production. By following this rule, you ensure a smoother, more natural-looking enhancement to your complexion.

Generally, it’s safe to apply makeup just a few hours after your Sculptra treatment for your face. This allows enough time for any initial swelling or redness to subside. Just be gentle when you apply your makeup, using soft brushes or sponges to avoid putting too much pressure on the treated areas. This way, you can get back to your beauty routine quickly while still taking care of your skin.

The effectiveness of just one Sculptra session can vary based on your skin condition. For those experiencing moderate to severe loss of volume, it’s likely that a single session won’t be sufficient to achieve visible improvements. You might need multiple treatments to really notice a difference. However, if your goal is simply to keep up with your current look or make slight enhancements, one or two sessions could indeed do the trick.

The ideal time to begin with Sculptra treatment for the face is before you see major signs of aging, like decreased skin elasticity, loss of volume, and fine lines. Often, people start their intensive anti-aging treatments, including dermal fillers like Sculptra, in their 40s. However, starting earlier can be beneficial as it allows the treatment to work proactively, potentially delaying these common signs of aging.

After receiving a Sculptra treatment, it’s best to avoid any strenuous exercise or hard physical activities for the first 24 to 48 hours. This is because intense movement can increase your chances of getting more severe bruising and swelling around the areas where the injections were given. Taking it easy helps minimize these side effects, letting the treatment settle properly without extra complications.

Sculptra treatment is generally not painful. Before beginning, a local anesthetic can be applied to numb the place where the injections will be administered, minimizing any discomfort you might feel. However, we find most patients do not require this. While some people might notice a slight soreness or discomfort at the injection site, it’s usually quite mild and goes away within a few days.

Yes, Clear and Brilliant is absolutely worth it. The treatment offers noticeable improvements in skin texture and appearance, with results that may last for several months. These benefits can even be extended further with an excellent skincare routine. Factors such as age, skin type, and overall skin condition, as well as how well you protect it from environmental damage, play a crucial role in the longevity of the results.

Yes, it typically does not take long to see results from Clear and Brilliant treatments. Many individuals observe noticeable improvements in their skin right after the first session. However, the time it takes to achieve the desired outcomes can vary significantly depending on individual factors like skin type, condition, and age. While some people might see immediate benefits, others may require additional sessions to realize the effects fully. For the best results, 3 to 6 sessions are generally recommended. This regimen allows the skin to improve progressively, enhancing texture and overall appearance with each session.

Yes, Clear and Brilliant laser treatment is safe. This treatment is appropriate for various skin types and ethnic backgrounds, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions such as discoloration or other permanent effects. The technology behind Clear and Brilliant has been carefully developed to ensure safety and efficacy, providing users with confidence in achieving improved skin appearance without harsh side effects.

To prepare for Clear and Brilliant treatment, avoid direct sunlight & tanning beds for two weeks beforehand, as UV exposure can damage your skin. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, and wear protective gear such as wide-brimmed hats, large sunglasses, and long-sleeved clothing when outside.

After undergoing a Clear and Brilliant treatment, it's essential to avoid any activities that might elevate your skin's temperature for the first 24 to 48 hours. This includes staying away from hot tubs, jacuzzis, and saunas and refraining from strenuous exercises like heavy workouts or running, as these can increase body heat and cause sweating. These activities can cause excessive sweating and may lead to irritation, slowing the recovery of the treated areas.

Yes, you can apply makeup after undergoing a Clear and Brilliant treatment, but it is advisable to wait for 24 to 48 hours before doing so. This waiting period will allow your skin to recover and minimize the risk of irritation. Immediately after the treatment, your skin might be more sensitive, and applying makeup too soon could lead to discomfort or complications. Additionally, you should avoid plucking or waxing the treated area for at least one-week post-treatment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The duration of Skinvive® results varies from person to person but generally lasts for several months. To extend the effects, you can schedule maintenance sessions, and regular touch-ups can assist in preserving your desired appearance. We typically recommend this treatment every 6 months.

One syringe starts at $500 but packages are available.

Skinvive® injections offer the advantage of minimal downtime. You can resume your regular activities immediately after leaving our clinic. While some individuals may experience slight redness or mild bruising around the treated areas, these side effects usually diminish within 24-48 hours and should not hinder your daily routine.

After your skin is cleansed, the injector will gently administer microdroplets of Skinvive® in an even, dotted pattern on your cheeks (and neck). While you may feel some minor and temporary discomfort during these sessions, the results will be well worth it and can last for several months. Within a few days, the microdroplets will blend seamlessly into your skin, and you will start to see the benefits of the integrated hyaluronic acid. Yet to achieve better results, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities or exercise for the first 24 hours following the procedure.

In a Skinvive® session, your healthcare provider will begin by cleansing the treatment area. If needed, topical numbing cream can be applied to reduce any potential discomfort before administering Skinvivev® through a series of injections. The entire procedure usually lasts approximately 15 minutes, and you can expect to see enhancements in your skin's appearance within the next few days to weeks.

Natural Results: It excels in delivering subtle yet remarkable results that enhance your natural beauty without creating an overly "done" appearance. The procedure is known to add hydration to the skin. It is a "long lasting moisturizer" to improve skin quality, luminosity, and glow.

They also expressed a high level of satisfaction with the continued glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy appearance of their skin throughout this period.

The potential factors that lead to the formation of skin tags are unclear. However, friction resulting from skin rubbing against skin is believed to be a contributing factor. Additionally, individuals with certain health conditions such as diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, human papillomavirus, or obesity are at a potent risk of developing skin tags. These skin tags are often formed in areas where skin friction occurs, like the armpits, around the anus, the groin, on the thighs, eyelids, and neck.

Certain risks are associated with skin tag removal outside of a medical environment. It is advisable to only proceed with cutting off a skin tag at home after receiving clearance from a healthcare professional. Ensuring both the skin and the clippers are thoroughly cleaned beforehand is crucial to reduce the risk of infection.

Individuals may remove skin tags at home using commercially available removal creams or freezing kits. Nonetheless, undertaking this procedure at home carries certain risks. With the aim to ensure safety and minimize complications, it is recommended to have skin tags and age spots removed professionally in a medical setting by a healthcare provider.

We customize the removal based on the size of the skin tag. If a skin tag is large, the removal technique employs a surgical blade that is used to remove the skin tag immediately after numbing is applied. Alternatively, for smaller skin tags, cryotherapy and cautery are other quick methods, although it takes time for the skin tag to fall off. A single session of cryotherapy or cautery is often adequate to remove skin tags successfully.

Yes, you can generally use topical treatments and moisturizers during phototherapy. However, discussing this with our dermatologists is essential, as certain products may interact with the phototherapy process or increase the skin's sensitivity to light.

Yes. A referral to a Dermatologist is required. This service is also covered by Manitoba Health.

Yes, but with careful consideration and consultation with our dermatologists. They know how to minimize UV exposure and ensure you get the benefits of phototherapy skin treatment. We also ensure the well-being of both the mother and the unborn child.

The timeline for visible results from phototherapy varies depending on the condition being treated. Consistency in attending sessions and following the prescribed treatment plan is crucial for optimal outcomes. With consistent treatments, ideally 2-3 times a week, most patients see relief after 2-3 months of treatment. Your Dermatologist will suggest a time frame during your appointment.

Phototherapy helps inflammatory skin conditions, like eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and itch, by exposing the skin to controlled amounts of narrow band ultraviolet B (UVB) light, which reduces inflammation and slows down the overproduction of skin cells. Narrow UVB rays penetrate the skin, suppressing the immune response and alleviating symptoms like itching and redness. This treatment is particularly effective for moderate to severe cases of eczema when other conventional treatments may be insufficient.

Phototherapy is commonly used to treat skin conditions like, Psoriasis Mycosis Fungoides Eczema Vitiligo Morphea Polymorphous Light Eruption Lichen Planus Granuloma Annulare General itch

During a phototherapy session, the patient is positioned in a specialized stand up light booth. The affected skin areas are exposed to UV light for a specific duration, gradually increasing over sessions. Protective measures, such as eye goggles are used to minimize potential side effects like eye damage. To be effective, our doctors recommend 2-3 treatments a week for 4-6 months.

BOTOX®, or botulinum toxin, injections are an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis by reducing the overactivity of sweat glands. Through these injections, BOTOX® blocks the nerve signals responsible for stimulating sweat glands, thereby preventing excessive sweat production. This outpatient procedure includes minimal to no downtime. Since BOTOX® provides temporary relief by blocking nerve activity, periodic sessions, typically semi-annual or annual, are necessary to sustain results. Over time, the frequency of BOTOX® injections may decrease, offering a progressively lasting solution for managing hyperhidrosis symptoms.

Hyperhidrosis can range from mild to severe and affects your daily life, emotions, and how you interact with others. Symptoms may include: You might notice wet spots on your clothes, especially on your underarms, palms, or feet, which can be embarrassing. You may sweat a lot for no clear reason, making it hard to do daily tasks and socialize comfortably. Too much sweating can make your skin soft, white, or wrinkled due to prolonged moisture.

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can impact various body parts. The commonly affected areas include: Facial area (particularly the cheeks and forehead) Underarms Soles of the feet Palms of the hands Back and neck Genital area

Hyperhidrosis mainly affects two groups of people: young individuals and those who experience it later in life. Both men and women are affected equally. In children, it GENERALLY starts with sweaty hands and feet, progressing to armpits and possibly groin/buttocks during their teenage years.

Dermatologists in Winnipeg have got you covered for excessive sweating in various areas like underarms, hands, feet, and face. Our team of certified physicians and nurses offer Botox® Injections at our clinic. However, systemic treatment is also an option that our physicians can discuss if you have more diffuse hyperhidrosis.

In Manitoba, there is no cost for the doctors and nurses visit with a valid Manitoba Health card. However, the cost of the actually Botox® medicine will depend on your insurance provider for medications (e.g. Blue Cross, Canada Life, ManuLife etc).

Discontinuing platelet rich plasma treatment may result in the regression of restored hair. We often recommend maintenance once a year after your initial few treatments. The certainty of maintaining results varies greatly from person to person, depending upon individual response to the treatment.

You may notice improvements after only one or two sessions of PRP therapy. While the outcome can differ from person to person, irrespective of age or physical condition, most individuals tend to experience benefits from their PRP procedure.

There are minimal side effects to PRP because we use your own body's platelets. Similar to blood drawn at the lab, there may be minimal discomfort, bruising and swelling. PRP therapies, utilizing platelet-rich plasma, have been widely used across various contexts of medicine for many years.

If you follow the instructions for taking care of your skin after the PRP treatment, you can start noticing the best results around three months after the first session. Once you've reached that point, you can plan for more PRP facial treatments, either with or without microneedling, to maintain the improvements. What's great about PRP treatments is that they enhance your body's natural healing abilities, so you can book follow-up sessions as soon as you see your results.

No, PRP treatment does not provide a permanent solution for hair regrowth. However, it can effectively decrease the progression of hair loss and stimulate new growth in previously barren areas. This therapy can also lead to substantial enhancements in hair thickness and density. For hair loss, we typically recommend 3-5 treatments.

PRP Injections are usually safe for many people but not recommended if you have the following medical conditions: Active Hepatitis C ActiveCancer Active HIV or AIDS Unstable Angina Anemia or Severe Hypovolemia Active Infection on Your Skin

Hair loss can manifest in various forms, ranging from temporary to permanent conditions. Understanding the different types of hair loss is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment or management strategy. Among the most prevalent types of hair loss are: Androgenic alopecia, often known as hereditary baldness, can affect both men and women. It's generally recognized in men as male pattern baldness, while in women, it appears as overall hair thinning. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition characterized by the sudden loss of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body. This type of hair loss is unpredictable and can occur in small oval to round patches of hair loss. Telogen effluvium involves a rapid shedding of hair, usually triggered by physical or emotional stress, hormonal changes, or medications. This type of hair loss often occurs a few months after a stressful event or change. Anagen effluvium is a severe form of hair loss that happens almost suddenly, primarily due to medical interventions like chemotherapy, which disrupt hair growth during the anagen phase of the hair cycle.

Hair loss manifests in various forms based on its type and underlying causes. Here are some symptoms from initial to advanced stages: Early signs often include a receding hairline, commonly seen in male pattern baldness. Another initial symptom can be diffuse thinning of hair across the entire scalp, which is frequently observed in female pattern hair loss. In Alopecia Areata, individuals may notice the loss of small, round patches of hair, particularly on the scalp. In more severe cases, hair loss extends beyond the scalp, affecting other areas of the body as well.

One session starts at $800. Packages are available.

Hair loss is a common issue that can be attributed to a variety of causes, ranging from genetic factors, lifestyle factors, and scalp disease. Here are the fundamental causes of hair loss listed in detail: Often, hair loss is hereditary, stemming from genes inherited from one's parents. Conditions like fungal infections can lead to hair loss by compromising scalp health. Tight hairstyles such as braids, hair extensions, or tightly pulled ponytails can cause hair loss due to the constant pulling on the hair roots. Chemical treatments, including perms and bleaching, can weaken the hair and lead to hair loss. Significant life events such as pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause can induce hormonal changes that may result in hair loss. Certain medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and specific medications, often have hair loss as a side effect. Lack of essential nutrients, particularly iron and protein, can affect hair health and lead to hair loss. Experiencing significant stress, such as undergoing surgery or the loss of a loved one, can trigger temporary hair loss. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can cause hair loss as a symptom of thyroid disease.

The effectiveness of PRP treatment can differ significantly based on the patient and the frequency of treatments. Generally, these treatments extend over a period of six months or more, requiring sustained maintenance sessions to preserve the achieved results. Once patients complete the recommended series of 3 to 5 treatments, they can expect to see a noticeable improvement in the density and thickness of their hair.

PRP treatments are generally considered safe and carry minimal risks or side effects. Most individuals experience no adverse effects beyond the occasional minor swelling and bruising at the treatment site. The likelihood of encountering severe medical complications from these treatments remains exceptionally low, making them a viable option for those addressing hair loss concerns. PRP hair loss treatment is typically used to treat Androgenetic Alopecia.

While IPL treatment is safe, there are specific situations where it may not be suitable. Therefore, IPL might not be ideal for you if: You experience sensitivity to light. You have recently tanned your skin, whether through sunlight exposure, tanning beds, or tanning creams. You are using a retinoid cream or on isotretinoin (e.g Accutane). You have an active skin condition to location being addressed. You are pregnant. You have a skin resurfacing disorder. You have keloid scar tissue. You have tattoos or permanent makeup. You have certain skin conditions such as open wounds, active infection, or active skin cancer.

No, IPL does not remove hair immediately. After getting IPL, the hair follicles get damaged but stay in your skin, mostly at the top layer. As your skin renews itself, these damaged follicles are pushed out, so it might seem like the hair is growing back. But don't worry; within one to two weeks, the hair will fall out naturally.

Side effects of Intense Pulsed Light Treatment are generally mild. It is common to see mild redness post procedure. Patients treating sun spots will experience mild peeling post procedure as the sun spots gently fall off. Other side effects which are extremely rare include: Change Color Crusty Skin Blistering (very rare) Bruising

IPL treatment is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing redness and pigmentation. Its objective is to provide your skin with a youthful appearance. IPL is particularly great for brown sun freckles and facial redness caused by rosacea and sun exposure. It is also a great treatment for unwanted hair growth!

After your treatment, your skin might feel slightly warm, akin to a sunburn, and may have mild redness for several hours to a day. We recommend sun protection measures after the procedure. We find most of our patients can resume regular activities after their procedure (with good sun protection of course).

IPL is a great treatment to reduce browns and reds currently on your skin. However, with on-going sun exposure, pigmentation and redness will return. Hence, our skin care professionals will recommend an excellent and personalized skin care routine to maintain your results longer. It is also recommended to maintain your initial results with IPL sessions once every 1-2 years depending on your lifestyle and skin findings.

We do not recommend you stop your IPL therapy after just one or two courses, as this may not show effective results. Usually, you can see noticeable results after the third session depending on the skin condition treated and location. In addition, our professionals will develop a maintenance program to maintain your results.

Full face IPL starts at $300. For hair loss, IPL starts at $115 depending on location. Packages are available.

Belkyra usually starts working within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. Since it operates by slowly breaking down fat cells under the chin, the full effects may become more noticeable after multiple sessions. Many individuals need up to two sessions to notice the results, but others might require at least six sessions to achieve their desired results, with each session having an interval of one month. However, the duration can differ based on an individual's needs and preferences. Like any treatment, you may experience mild swelling and discomfort with Belkyra double chin treatment, but as the fat cells break down, these effects lessen over time.

Yes, Belkyra injections result in permanent fat loss. When you get a Belkyra injection, it destroys fat cells. Once those cells are gone, they can't store fat anymore. However, future weight gain might create new fat pockets in the area. In that case, a maintenance injection may be recommended. This process requires the expertise of professionals. For trusted facial treatment services, always do your research and check the company’s Belkyra before and after 1 treatment results. This will give you an idea of their success rate and expected outcomes.

Swelling from Belkyra injections, which is also known as Kybella, generally lasts for about a few days to weeks after your treatment. The duration and severity of the swelling may vary from person to person. While noticeable swelling may subside within the first few days, mild swelling may persist for a couple of weeks, typically 4 to 6 weeks. If you have any other doubts about the swelling or other side effects of Belkyra double chin treatment, you can consult your dermatologist.

To reduce swelling after Belkyra double chin injections, you can consider these guidelines: Follow your doctor's advice and take antihistamine pills you can buy without a prescription. Use pain relief pills you can buy without a prescription. Massage the area around your lymph nodes gently. Put a cold pack (ice wrapped in a cloth) on the area you're treating.

After getting the injection, you might have some swelling and bruising, which is normal. Swelling is the most common side effect and is expected and could last for a few weeks. The swelling is an indication that fat cells are dying off. Along with swelling, you might also have bruising, discomfort, itchiness, and redness, but these are usually not severe. Some people might feel numbness or tenderness under their chin for up to 2 months. After the procedure, you can go back to your normal activities, including work. However, it's best to avoid intense exercise for a few days because it could make the bruising worse and make the swelling last longer.

You and your skin care professional will decide how many treatments you'll need to achieve your desired results. Most people get the results they want after two sessions, but some might need up to six sessions, with each session being at least one month apart.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women of if you have serious liver or heart issues, you should avoid this treatment. For patients with significant loose skin and jowls, this treatment might not be suitable for you. Instead, you might want to consider a neck lift. Thus, we recommend a consultation first prior to proceeding with the treatment.

Belkyra is a well-known treatment for reducing a double chin without needing surgery. It works by getting rid of fat under the chin. It uses a natural substance called deoxycholic acid, which helps break down the fat.

One session starts at $650. Packages are available.

If you experience redness or swelling after a skin care treatment, there’s no need to worry—it’s a common and expected side effect. Redness typically occurs due to inflammation as your skin reacts to the treatment, and it usually fades within 1 to 10 days, depending on the intensity of the procedure. In some cases, redness caused by wound healing, which involves the development of new blood vessels to support skin repair, may take several months to fully disappear. While these reactions are not harmful, they can be uncomfortable or visually noticeable. To manage them, you can use simple remedies like cool packs, cooling sprays, soothing creams, or barrier creams and ointments to ease discomfort and promote healing. Always follow our skin care professional’s aftercare instructions for the best results.

People often confuse the terms “dermatologist” and “skin specialist,” using them interchangeably. However, it’s important to understand the difference between the two to ensure you get the right care for your skin concerns. A dermatologist, also known as a skin doctor, treats issues related to the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. They handle skin issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis, and infections, and they also perform cosmetic procedures such as fillers, laser treatments, and micro-needling. On the other hand, skin specialists generally focus more on aesthetic treatments like microdermabrasion and anti-aging procedures.

The frequency of visiting a skin care clinic varies greatly depending on your skin type, concerns, and goals, as everyone’s needs are different. For routine maintenance, such as facials or mild exfoliation, scheduling an appointment every 4 to 6 weeks is often recommended. If you’re addressing specific issues like acne, scarring, or signs of aging, you might need more frequent visits, such as every 2 to 3 weeks, particularly at the start of your treatment plan.

Choosing the right treatment for your skin type begins with knowing what kind of skin you have—oily, dry, combination, sensitive, or normal. Once you know your skin type, you can pick suitable products and treatments. For example, oily skin works well with oil-free products, while dry skin needs extra hydration. A dermatologist or skin care expert can help guide you if you're unsure. Always test new products on a small area first and start slowly to avoid reactions. Finding the best treatment takes time, but you’ll see the desired results with patience!

The recovery time for skin care treatments depends on the type of treatment. It can take anywhere from 24 hours to two weeks. Simple treatments like facials may need no downtime, while treatments like laser might take days or weeks to heal. Always follow our skin expert’s advice for the best results.

Yes, medical dermatology treatments can definitely help with aging skin. As we age, we lose collagen and elasticity, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. Our medical dermatology procedure offers a range of treatments designed to address these skin issues and improve the overall appearance of aging skin.

Although, medical dermatologists diagnose and treat medical skin concerns, they also provide non surgical cosmetic treatments. Embrace Skin provides medical grade skincare, Botox and Fillers, lasers, PRP injections, micro needling and more. Call us today to book a FREE cosmetic consultation.

Yes, you can often combine multiple medical aesthetic dermatology treatments in one session. This depends on the specific treatments chosen and your skin's needs. However, it's crucial to consult with our board-certified dermatologist. They will ensure the combination is safe and effective for you. Generally, they perform treatments in a specific sequence. This helps maximize results and minimize potential side effects.

While effective, medical dermatology treatments can sometimes cause side effects, and it’s important to be aware of them. One of the most common concerns is an allergic reaction, which might appear as a rash, hives, or itchy skin. You might also notice redness, swelling, or even peeling skin, sometimes accompanied by a fever. In more serious cases, allergic reactions can cause breathing difficulties, like wheezing or tightness in the chest or throat or swelling in areas like the face, lips, or tongue.

The cost of medical aesthetic treatments in Winnipeg depends on the type of procedure and its complexity. For example, treatments targeting medical skin conditions like acne, sun damage, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or excessive sweating may be partially or fully covered by Manitoba Health if necessary. However, cosmetic procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, or laser hair removal are not covered and can cost thousands of dollars per session.

Yes, our dermatologist appointments are covered by Manitoba Health, but only for medically necessary services. This means that if you require treatment for skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, or suspicious moles, the cost of seeing our dermatologist will typically be covered under the provincial health plan. However, to access these services, you must first obtain a referral from your family doctor or a walk-in clinic physician. This referral process ensures that your visit to our dermatologist aligns with the coverage guidelines set by Manitoba Health.

Our dermatologist will consider your skin condition, consult your concerns and medical history, and perform a biological examination if necessary. They will then provide a diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment options.

After a laser hair removal procedure, it's common to experience some (mild) redness and swelling in the treated area. These symptoms usually last just a few hours post-treatment. We discuss both Pre and Post-treatment care to achieve the best results for your skin. It's important to avoid exposure to sunlight and refrain from using tanning beds for six weeks or as directed by your laser specialist.. This helps prevent any complications or adverse reactions while your skin is sensitive to the treatment. Additionally, we advise you to protect your skin with a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen daily, regardless of whether you plan to spend time outdoors. This not only helps in the healing process but also safeguards against future skin damage. We also do not recommend this treatment if you are on isotretinoin (e.g. Accutane).

For a minimum of three days following your treatment, avoiding any substances that may irritate your skin is crucial. This includes harsh soaps, medicated washes, facial or body scrubs, oils, retinol, scented lotions, and chemical peels. Additionally, refrain from taking hot baths or showers, and avoid swimming in any type of water, regardless of the temperature. These precautions are necessary to ensure optimal healing and to prevent any adverse reactions in the treated areas. You can also contact us for a free consultation to discuss.

If you discontinue laser hair removal treatments prematurely, you may find that the level of hair reduction remains approximately at the same level as it was at the time you stopped the treatments. It's important to understand that once a hair follicle has been effectively treated with laser and is rendered inactive, it will not produce new hair. However, this doesn't mean all hair growth potential is completely eliminated. If the treatment course is not completed, some hair follicles that were not active during earlier sessions may begin to produce hair as they enter their growth phase. Additionally, it's worth noting that new hair follicles can become active due to hormonal changes in the body. Factors such as pregnancy, menopause, or certain medical conditions can influence hormone levels and potentially activate new hair follicles that were not previously producing hair. Therefore, we suggest you complete the full series of laser hair removal sessions recommended by our team to achieve and maintain the best results.

The answer is no, and it does not guarantee complete hair removal. The principle behind laser hair removal is that it targets hair follicles with laser energy, heating them to a point where their ability to produce new hair is significantly reduced. This process puts the hair follicles into a dormant state for an extended period, which is substantially longer than the effects experienced by traditional methods like shaving or waxing.

While some discomfort is associated with laser hair removal, it is often less intense than many people anticipate. The removal procedure involves targeting the hair follicles with a highly concentrated light energy. However, you won't experience this heat directly or feel any burning sensation. This brief, sharp feeling is generally manageable and varies depending on the treatment area and individual pain thresholds.

This is a frequently asked question by many undergoing laser hair removal treatments. However, the answer is that you should refrain from waxing the treated area either after a session or before the next one. For these treatments to be effective, the hair needs to be in place, as it acts as a conduit that allows the laser energy to reach the follicles. Waxing removes your skin hair from the root, meaning no hair shaft is left to absorb the laser energy in subsequent treatments. This can decrease the effectiveness of the laser sessions and potentially require more sessions to achieve the desired results. Instead of waxing, we advise you to shave the area if necessary. Shaving merely cuts the hair above the skin level but leaves the follicle intact, making it possible for the laser to target the hair during your next session. Maintaining this protocol is crucial for achieving optimal results in your journey to permanent hair reduction.

Fraxel laser treatment is generally well tolerated by patients and is considered minimally painful. The procedure is designed to be gentle compared to other more intensive laser treatments. Following a session, the recovery period is relatively short. Initially, the treated area may resemble a sunburn, showcasing redness and a feeling of mild discomfort.

Fraxel laser is an advanced technology prominently used in fractional resurfacing to enhance skin quality. This cutting-edge treatment is highly effective in tackling various persistent skin issues.

Most cosmetic skin treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible, and many people find them easy to tolerate with only minor discomfort. That said, some procedures, like laser treatments, might cause a slight tingling or stinging sensation.

If you're worried about discomfort, don’t stress—numbing creams or ice packs are often used to help keep you comfortable during and after the procedure.

Once the results are visible, they generally last between 3-6 months, depending on factors such as the individual’s muscle strength, metabolism, and the area treated.
