MICRONEEDLING

Result you can feel!

For facial rejuvenation, we offer microneedling. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is performed to generate new collagen and skin tissue in order to smooth out, tone, and firm skin. This procedure is mainly done on the face using small sterile thin needles that can help improve the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. Microneedling can also be done on any area of the body where the skin needs repair including stretch marks, and acne scars on the chest, back, and legs. This procedure has also been known to provide excellent results to promote and restore hair growth.


MICRONEEDLING WITH PRF

Microneedling can also be done with PRF for a more effective and longer-lasting result. This is also known as the vampire facial. PRF means plasma-rich fibrin and it is derived from taking a sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and applying it on your face. PRF helps your body produce growth factors that aid in faster skin regeneration. Fibrin is known to stimulate stem cells which improves collagen and elastin in the skin. It is extremely safe since it is gotten from your own body and there is no risk of an adverse reaction when combined with microneedling.

While results may differ for each person, most clients see results in 4- 6 weeks after treatment. This is usually how long it takes the collagen and skin to fully renew. Some individuals might require multiple microneedling treatments every 6 to 8 weeks until the desired goal is met. Once your goal is met, microneedling can be done once a year for maintenance.
