FRACTIONAL RESURFACING

MICRONEEDLING WITH SKINPEN

During your treatment, the cordless, fractional, automated microneedling device composed of medical-grade stainless steel is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin, helping it produce collagen and elastin. Microneedling also creates micro-channels which allow topical gels, creams and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing their effects in deeper layers of the skin. Micro-needling not only helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but also has a positive effect on uneven skin tone and acne scars improving the skin’s overall appearance to give you a fresher, younger look. Included in treatment is comprehensive prescription strength skin numbing medication prior to procedure.

MICRONEEDLING WITH SKINPEN & PRP

Your blood is drawn and we extract your very own liquid gold – platelet rich plasma – and apply and inject during the microneedling treatment. Adding PRP to your microneedling treatment helps to amplify the collagen and elastin production that is triggered as a result of the treatment.
