I f you see things in the mirror that didn't used to sag, wrinkle or stretch, you're probably crossing your fingers that some intrepid explorer is finally going to discover the Fountain of Youth. But if patience isn't one of your virtues, you might want to consider a visit to Dermatologist Dr. Earl Minuk for perhaps the next best thing. The Winnipeg dermatologist is once again the city's consumer choice for cosmetic physician – he's won the award for the last seven years – for his ever-improving treatments for skin rejuvenation, including fine-line wrinkles, non-surgical face-lifts, acne scars, skin discolourations and tattoo removal. "We know your skin, we can take care of it. With lasers, technology and injectibles such as Botox, Juvederm, we can make somebody look softer and more youthful," he says. "We do facial shaping and facial rejuvenation; take somebody's tired appearance and make them look more lively and radiant with more vibrant skin, all without surgery. We have innovative technology – machines and medical devices to suit most cosmetic issues." And if that's not enough, he can even sculpt your stomach with body rejuvenation to tighten up sagging skin and remove pouches of unwanted body fat, including those persistent love handles. This process is called "coolsculpting." And if you've got unwanted body hair – this goes for men and women – he can treat that, too. Minuk, who has been a cosmetic physician for more than two decades, runs a pair of clinics in Winnipeg, one on Grosvenor Avenue in River Heights and the second on Meadowood Drive in St. Vital. Further Centres could follow as he is exploring expansion possibilities. "It can occur, I just haven't pulled the trigger on it. I have options," he says. Minuk says people who are serious about getting cosmetic dermatology treatment of any kind make a point of going to a specialist. "You should trust your skin treatments to a dermatologist. I love to teach and educate other physicians and specialists and attend meetings where I can with other leading injectors in the country," he says. Before he agrees to perform any procedure, he wants to educate his clients. "We will meet with you in consultation and educate you before treatment . I want you to have a positive experience and become informed so you can make a clear decision before proceeding with treatment," he says.
