Microneedling/PRP

Microneedling

Micro needling therapy (also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy), is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains several needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin.

Micro-needling is one of the most popular and effective skin-care treatment alternatives to laser resurfacing and other aesthetic procedures. It is a far more cost-effective option than laser treatments and delivers very similar, if not better, results with repeated treatments.

Micro needling treats a number of skin issues. It tackles scarring, wrinkles and loose skin, improves skin texture, pore size, stretch marks, scar tissue, generating new skin cells.

Skin improvements appear at your very first appointment. Skin is smoother and much more radiant looking. However, the full effects are seen a few weeks later. This is when your skin cells fully regenerate.

The many Benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy include:

Lift and tighten saggy skin on the face and other parts of the body
Repair sun damage
Soften deep lines and wrinkles, including on the forehead
Alleviate fine lines around the lips and eyes
Improve appearance of scars from acne, surgery, or injury
Firm thin, crepe-like skin under the eyes and across the entire face
Reduce the appearance of stretch marks — yes — it can be performed on the body as well! Lessen the appearance of large pores
Lessen the appearance of acne, acne scarring, and decrease the frequency of acne breakouts

APGF - Advanced Peptide Growth Factor

APGF is highly effective to the skin cell regeneration. It contains advanced peptides and high concentration of growth factor. It is an effective anti-aging, reduce fine lines and wrinkle, reduce hyper pigmentation, strengthen skin elasticity by inducing collagen and elastin formation.

PRP Microneedling

PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) based cosmetic treatments have received a tremendous amount of media attention because its ability to completely rejuvenate the face, resulting in firmer younger looking skin.

Under this procedure we utilize Microneedling to “stamp” the skin creating tiny channels along the surface. Then PRP is applied topically to the skin, allowing the full penetration of PRP deep down into the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin.

Topically applying PRP enables it to get into more planes in the skin, compared to injections where the PRP is isolated to the injected area. Thus the microneedling allows PRP to get into the skin more evenly affecting the total face.
