How does microneedling work?

Microneedling is the process of using tiny needles to penetrate specific areas of the skin and stimulate the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, which in turn help the skin looks and feels healthier. The Skin Pen is optimized for patient safety and comfort.

What to expect after your Microneedling Treatment:

Your skin may appear red, similar to a sunburn, for the first 24 to 48 hours following treatment. It also may feel warm and tight.

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma that contains a concentrated amount of platelets. When used in facial aesthetic procedures, your own blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge to extract and concentrate the platelets. The PRP portion of your blood is then put back into your skin to stimulate new collagen production, and to re-energize your cells into rejuvenating themselves. The product injected is 100% your own blood by-product. PRP permits the body to take advantage of the normal healing pathways at a greatly accelerated rate. During the healing process, the body rushes many cells to the wound in order to initiate the healing process. One of those cell types is platelets. Platelets perform many functions, including formation of a blood clot and release of growth factors into the wound. These growth factors function to assist the body in repairing itself by stimulating stem cells to regenerate new tissue.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is actually a natural structural component of skin, and, in fact, is present in connective tissue throughout the human body. When used in facial aesthetic procedures it is gently massaged into the patient’s skin. The magic of this ingredient lies in its ability to retain moisture; it’s considered to have a greater capacity to hold moisture than any other natural or synthetic polymer. Hyaluronic acid also provides antioxidant defense against free-radical damage, and reduces inflammation. Hyaluronic acid quenches dehydrated skin for a supple, smooth complexion while visibly reducing the signs of aging, by helping the skin appear firmer, brighter and rejuvenated.
