Microneedling Winnipeg

Understanding microneedling from the experts at Self Aesthetics

If you’ve been searching for a treatment that helps reduce acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone—microneedling might be on your radar. But many clients ask the same important question: Is microneedling safe for my skin type?

At Self Aesthetics, we provide professional microneedling in Winnipeg, and we believe that every client deserves a safe, effective treatment tailored to their unique skin. Here’s what you should know about microneedling and how it works for different skin tones and textures.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the surface of the skin. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

As the skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned. Because the treatment relies on your body’s natural processes rather than heat or chemicals, it’s generally safe for a wide range of skin types and tones.

Safe for Light to Dark Skin Tones

Unlike some laser treatments or chemical peels that carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes in deeper skin tones, microneedling is considered safe and effective across the full spectrum of skin tones—from fair to deep.

The reason? Microneedling doesn’t involve heat or pigment-targeting energy, which means there’s minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—a common concern for individuals with darker skin. At Self Aesthetics, our trained professionals use advanced microneedling devices and tailor treatment settings to ensure maximum safety and comfort for all clients.

Who Should Avoid Microneedling?

While microneedling is safe for most people, there are certain situations where it may not be recommended. These include:

• Active acne breakouts or open wounds
• Skin infections or rashes
• Severe rosacea or eczema
• Use of certain acne medications (like Accutane)

Before starting any treatment, we always conduct a detailed skin consultation to assess your health, history, and skincare goals. This helps us ensure that microneedling in Winnipeg is the right fit for you.

What to Expect After Treatment

Regardless of your skin type, it’s normal to experience some redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours following microneedling. Clients with deeper skin tones may notice temporary darkening or a slight “flush,” but this typically resolves quickly.

We provide customized aftercare instructions to support healing, protect your results, and reduce any risk of irritation. With consistent treatments, many clients see improved skin tone, reduced scars, and a noticeable glow.
