MIRCONEEDLING
The SkinPen works by creating thousands of controlled microchannels that stimulates your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin. The controlled micro-injuries trigger the release of natural growth factors and cytokins resulting in collagen induction therapy.
Microneedling is recommended in series of 3 treatments spaced out as little as 30 days but typical treatment time is 4-6 weeks. Microneedling is safe for all skin types from light to very dark.
The treatment is contraindicated and cannot be done with active acne, rashes, warts, skin cancer, skin related autoimmune disorders, pregnant or lactating women.
Microneedling is an one stop treatment solution restoring and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, texture concerns, large pores and acne scaring. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolleté and hand, however we can discuss additional areas of concern further doing complementary consultations.
Plan for 3-7 days before big events. After treatment, skin may appear pink or red, like a mild sunburn for 1 -2 days. Minor bruising is possible depending on aggressiveness of treatment. Typical post treatment instructions include no sweaty exercise or intense sun exposure for 72hrs, however individualized customized plan will be developed with your treatment provider in further details regarding medical grade skin care products, etc.
PRP Microneedling
Platelet Rich Plasma can be added to single microneedling session or microneedling packages. The benefits of PRP including encouraging further collagen production and stimulating new cell growth through natural growth factors found in your own blood is an additional added benefit to microneedlings giving you a “Blood Facial.”
Before microneedling session your blood is drawn and prepared under centrifugation taking as little as 10 minutes. Once PRP is separated, solution is added on during microneedling session.
The collagen induction process has begun after treatment reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, unwanted texture, large pores and acne scaring.
