You don’t need to know which treatment you need.
IPL, microneedling, radiofrequency, fractional resurfacing and HydraFacial are tools—not answers.
Tell me what is bothering you about your skin. I’ll assess what is actually happening and recommend the approach that makes sense for your skin, your goals and your budget.
Start with your skin
What would you
like help with?
Meet Susan
Twenty years of experience. Zero interest in selling you what you don’t need.
I’m Susan O’Connor, a licensed medical aesthetician with more than 20 years of experience treating skin.
I’ve watched treatments, technologies and skincare trends come and go. What hasn’t changed is my approach: understand what’s actually happening with your skin first, then choose the treatment that makes sense.
Sometimes that means advanced technology. Sometimes it means a facial, better home care—or doing less.
My job isn’t to sell you more treatments.
It’s to help you make better decisions about your skin.

You Have Two
Ways to Begin.
You don't have to understand every treatment on the menu before booking.
Option 1
Book A Facial
I'd like to start with a facial.
You do not need a consultation before booking a facial—even if you have never visited the clinic before.Each facial begins with a brief conversation about your skin and is adjusted where appropriate based on what your skin needs that day.A facial is a good place to begin if you:
Want healthier, smoother or more hydrated skin
Need help with dryness, dullness, sensitivity or congestion
Want professional skin maintenance without significant downtime
Prefer to receive a treatment during your first visit
Not sure which facial to choose? Select the one that most closely matches what you want help with. Every facial can be reasonably adjusted at your appointment to accommodate your skin’s needs and any relevant contraindications.
Option 2
Book A Consultation
I'd like to start with an advanced treatment.
Advanced treatments begin with a complimentary 30-minute consultation.This appointment gives me an opportunity to assess your skin or treatment area, review relevant health information and determine which treatment options are safe and appropriate for you.This includes treatments such as IPL, radiofrequency and infrared skin tightening, microneedling, fractional resurfacing, corrective chemical peels, ThermoClear and laser hair removal.We’ll discuss:
What you would like to improve
Which treatment options may be appropriate
What results you can realistically expect
How many treatments you may need
Treatment cost, preparation, downtime and aftercare
Whether a patch test is required
The consultation does not include a full treatment. If a patch test is required, it may be completed during this appointment.
Still Not Sure?
If you’re unsure which path to choose, text me at
204-271-3133 and briefly tell me what you would like help with.
Skin Concern
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Understand what's changing - and what can actually help.
Fine lines don't all develop for the same reason. The right approach depends on what's causing them, how established they are, and what else is happening in your skin.
Why fine lines & wrinkles develop
Collagen & Elastin
Gradually decline with age.
Facial Movement
Repeated expressions contribute to certain lines.
Sun + Skin Health
UV exposure, genetics, lifestyle, and overall skin health influence how quickly changes appear.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Advanced Treatment Options
Microneedling
Ideal for early fine lines, improving skin quality, and stimulating collagen production.
Radio Frequency Skin Lifting
Recommended when fine lines are accompanied by loss of firmness and elasticity.
Infrared Skin Tightening
Most appropriate for early skin laxity of the lower face, jawline, and neck where improving skin tightness and facial definition is the primary goal.
Fractional Laser
Often recommended for more established wrinkles, textural changes, sun damage and acne scarring.
Chemical Peels
Can help improve texture, skin brightness, and the appearance of very early fine lines, while supporting skin health.
Supportive Facial Treatments
While facials cannot replace collagen-stimulating treatments (with the exception of the RF Lifting Facial), they can temporarily improve hydration, smoothness, and radiance, making fine lines appear less noticeable. They are also an excellent way to maintain healthy skin and help prolong the results of your advanced treatments.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Skin Concern
Rough, Dull & Tired Skin
Understand what's behind your skin's lack of radiance and rough texture - and what can actually help
If your skin feels rough, looks dull, or has lost its natural glow, it doesn't necessarily mean it's simply "dry" or that you need to exfoliate more.Many factors can contribute to skin that appears tired and lacks vitality. The good news is that with the right approach, we can restore smoothness, radiance, and a healthier-looking complexion.
Why rough, dull and tired skin develops
skin barrier + hydration
Poor barrier function and dehydration can leave the skin rough, tight and lacking radiance.
Cell turnover + buildup
Slower shedding and accumulated dead skin cells can make the surface feel uneven and look dull.
Aging + Environment
Age, UV exposure, lifestyle and other factors can affect collagen renewal and overall skin vitality.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Supportive Facial Treatments
Facials are the perfect place to start. They help improve hydration, support a healthy skin barrier, and gently remove buildup so your skin can look and feel smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.
Advanced Treatment Options
If additional improvement is desired or your skin concerns are more significant, one or more of these advanced treatments may be recommended.
Microneedling
Ideal for refining overall texture, improving skin quality, and stimulating collagen production.
Chemical Peels
Can help improve texture, skin brightness, and the appearance of very early fine lines, while supporting skin health.
Fractional Laser
Recommended for more significant textural changes, sun damage, and advanced skin rejuvenation.
IPL Photofacial
Improves dullness, uneven tone, textural irregularities, and signs of sun damage while supporting overall skin rejuvenation.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles | Redness & Rosacea | Brown Spots & Sun Damage | Acne & Breakouts | Acne Scarring | Loose & Sagging Skin
Skin Concern
Redness & Rosacea
Calm inflammation. Strengthen your skin. Restore comfort and confidence.
Persistent redness, flushing, and sensitivity can be frustrating and hard to manage. The good news is that the right approach can help calm visible redness, strengthen your skin barrier and reduce flare-ups over time. Healthier, calmer, and more comfortable skin is possible.
Why redness and rosacea develop
vascular hyper-reactivity
Overactive blood vessels can cause flushing, visible redness, and a tendency for flare-ups.
Compromised Skin Barrier
A weakened skin barrier can make skin more sensitive, reactive, and prone to irritation and redness.
Triggers & Inflammation
Environmental factors, lifestyle triggers, heat, stress, and inflammation can worsen redness and rosacea symptoms.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Supportive Facial Treatments
Professional facials focused on calming inflammation and supporting the skin barrier can help reduce sensitivity, improve hydration, and support overall skin comfort.
Advanced Treatment Options
Once inflammation is well controlled and the skin barrier is healthier, advanced treatments can help address persistent redness and visible vessels.
IPL Photofacial
Can reduce diffuse redness and certain visible superficial blood vessels in appropriate candidates.
VP Dual Spot Treatment
Ideal for treating individual broken capillaries and small vascular lesions.
Chemical Peels
Carefully selected professional peels can help, calm inflammation, support barrier function, and improve overall skin health.
ThermoClear
Best for precisely treating individual visible capillaries, particularly around the nose and cheeks, rather than widespread redness of flushing.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Skin Concern
Brown Spots & Sun Damage
Understand what's causing the discoloration - and what can actually help
Brown spots and uneven pigmentation don't all develop for the same reason. The right approach depends on what type of pigmentation you have, how deep it sits within the skin, and what is causing it.
Why brown spots and sun damage develop
UV Exposure
Cumulative sun exposure stimulates excess pigment production and can lead to sun spots and uneven tone.
Hormones & Inflammation
Hormonal changes, inflammation, and previous skin injury can trigger excess or irregular pigment production.
Skin Renewal & Aging
As skin renewal slows with age, accumulated pigment and visible sun damage can become more noticeable.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Advanced Treatment Options
IPL Photofacial
Often the first choice for superficial sun spots and areas of irregular pigmentation caused by sun damage.
VP Dual Spot Treatment
Ideal for treating individual superficial sun spots.
Microneedling
Best suited for rejuvenating a weakened junction between the epidermis and dermis which can allow pigment into the dermis, as well as evening overall skin tone when combined with certain boosters.
ThermoClear
Best for treating individual sun spots and other small superficial pigmented spots that may not be suitable for IPL.
Fractional Laser
May be recommended for certain types of pigmentation issues.
Chemical Peels
Carefully selected professional peels can help improve uneven pigmentation, brighten the complexion, and promote a more even skin tone.
Supportive Facial Treatments
Facials will not remove established brown spots, but they can improve hydration, brightness, and overall skin health while helping maintain the results of more corrective treatments.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles | Rough, Dull & Tired | Redness & Rosacea | Acne & Breakouts | Acne Scarring | Loose & Sagging Skin
Skin Concern
Acne & Breakouts
Understand what's triggering your acne - and what can help clear it.
Acne is a complex, and at times inflammatory skin condition with many possible triggers. The right approach starts with understanding what your skin needs.
Why acne and breakouts develop
Congestion
Excess buildup of dead skin cells can trap oil and debris to clog pores and create the perfect environment for breakouts.
Bacteria & Inflammation
Bacteria, inflammation, and immune responses can worsen active acne lesions.
Hormones & Lifestyle
Hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, medications, and genetics can all contribute to acne.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Advanced Treatment Options
Chemical Peels
Carefully selected professional chemical peels can help reduce congestion and inflammation, improve active acne, and reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Supportive Facial Treatments
For many clients the first step is reducing inflammation, improving skin health, and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Professional acne facials can help reduce congestion, improve skin function, and create a healthier environment for the skin to heal.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles | Rough, Dull & Tired | Redness & Rosacea | Brown Spots & Sun Damage | Acne Scarring | Loose & Sagging Skin
Skin Concern
Acne Scarring
Advanced treatments to improve texture, smooth scars, and restore confidence.
Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the skin's deeper layers. The right treatment depends on the type, depth, and severity of your scarring.
Why acne scars develop
Inflammation
Severe or prolonged acne inflammation can damage the skin's deeper layers.
Collagen Damage
Damage to collagen and elastin disrupts the skin's structure and healing process.
Irregular Healing
As the skin heals it can leave behind indentations, uneven texture, and raised scars.
Because every person's skin is different, there isn't a single treatment that's right for everyone. A complimentary consultation is required before booking any advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for your individual needs.
Advanced Treatment Options
Microneedling
Often the first choice for mild to moderate acne scars by stimulating collagen remodelling and improving skin texture.
Fractional Laser
May be recommended for more established scars, significant textural changes, and overall skin resurfacing.
Chemical Peels
Can help improve superficial textural irregularities and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially when combined with other treatments.
Supportive Facial Treatments
While facials cannot remove acne scars, they can improve overall skin health, hydration, and texture while helping maintain the results of corrective treatments.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Skin Concern
Loose & Sagging Skin
Understand what’s changing -
and what can actually help.
Loss of firmness isn’t caused by just one thing. Changes in collagen, facial volume, connective tissues, and the structures beneath the skin all influence how the face changes over time.
Why does skin become loose and less firm
Collagen + Elastin
Production slows and existing structural proteins gradually break down with age.
Facial Support
Changes in facial fat, muscle and connective tissues reduce support beneath the skin.
Age + Lifestyle
Genetics, sun exposure, weight changes and aging influence how quickly laxity develops.
Skin laxity develops differently for everyone. The degree of change depends on your skin quality, age, facial structure, genetics and other factors. Professional treatments cannot replace lost facial volume or produce surgical results, but they can improve skin quality, stimulate collagen and help improve mild to moderate laxity. A complimentary consultation is required before booking advanced treatment so I can assess your skin and recommend the approach most appropriate for you.
Advanced Treatment Options
Radio Frequency Skin Lifting
Uses controlled radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve skin firmness.
Microneedling
Stimulates the skin’s natural repair response to encourage collagen production and improve skin quality.
Infrared Skin Tightening
Targets the deeper tissues of the lower face, jawline and neck to improve firmness and facial definition.
Fractional Laser
Resurfaces the skin while stimulating collagen remodeling to improve skin quality, texture and firmness.
Supportive Facial Treatments
Facials cannot correct significant skin laxity, but they can support collagen production, improve hydration and skin quality, and help maintain results between advanced treatments. The RF Lifting Facial also incorporates radio frequency for additional firming support.
Not sure what your skin needs?
You don't need to figure that out yourself.
During your complimentary consultation, I'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment plan that's most appropriate for you.

Smoother Skin. Less Shaving
Laser Hair Removal
Professional laser hair removal in Flin Flon for long-term reduction of unwanted hair, with treatments customized to your skin and hair.
How IPL Hair Removal Works
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses pulses of light energy to target the pigment in hair to reduce unwanted hair over time.
Pigment
IPL light is attracted to melanin within the hair.
Heat
The absorbed light converts to heat within the hair follicle.
Hair Reduction
The heat damages the cells responsible for new hair growth, gradually reducing regrowth.
IPL vs Laser
Although commonly referred to as laser hair removal, the technology used at Susan O'Connor Medical Aesthetics is advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). IPL has been used successfully for many years to provide safe, effective, long-term hair reduction in appropriate candidates.
Less Hair. Less Maintenance.
Long Term Reduction
Significantly reduce unwanted hair and the need for constant shaving.
Smoother Skin
Less shaving can also mean fewer razor bumps, irritation and ingrown hairs.
Quick + Convenient
Many areas can be treated relatively quickly with little to no downtime.

What It Is
Fractional Laser Resurfacing uses an Er:YAG fractional laser to create tiny, precisely controlled treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.This stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and encourages new collagen production, helping improve texture, wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, and other visible signs of aging.Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at one time, it provides significant resurfacing while allowing the surrounding untreated skin to support the healing process.

Surgical scars
Enlarged pores
Rough skin
Sun-damaged skin
Certain cases of melasma*
Overall skin quality
*When appropriate. Melasma requires careful assessment and individualized treatment planning.
Best Suited For
Clients wanting more significant improvement in wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scarring, sun damage, and other visible signs of skin aging.Fractional Laser Resurfacing is particularly well suited to those seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation and long-term collagen remodeling and who are comfortable with several days of visible downtime.
Skin Conditions It's Used To Treat
What To Expect Afterwards
DowntimeImmediately after treatment, the skin typically appears red and swollen and may feel hot or similar to a sunburn.Over the following several days, the skin gradually becomes dry and rough and begins to naturally shed as new skin develops beneath. Downtime is typically 4–7 days, depending on treatment intensity and individual healing.Redness may persist beyond the initial healing period in some clients.AftercareFor the best results and to support proper healing:
For the first 24 hours, apply only cool compresses as directed. Do not apply skincare products, makeup, sunscreen, or other topical products.
After the first 24 hours — and once the heat has fully dissipated — use only the recommended healing balm or post-treatment products as directed.
Do not pick, scratch, scrub, or peel flaking skin.
Avoid strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, swimming pools, and excessive heat until the skin has healed.
Avoid direct sun exposure during healing.
Begin broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher once the skin has healed sufficiently to tolerate sunscreen.
Follow the personalized post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner.
Maintenance recommendations vary depending on your age, skin condition, and long-term goals.

What It Is
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use carefully selected acids and other active ingredients to encourage controlled exfoliation and skin renewal.Different peels work in different ways and at different depths, which means the treatment can be selected according to your individual skin concerns, skin type and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
