Microneedling / PRP
Microneedling
SkinPen® microneedling works to naturally stimulate collagen in the body to help tighten and lift the skin. It helps to soften fine lines, wrinkles, minimize stretch marks, and improve acne scars and all other types of scars as well. Microneedling causes minimal, organized, damage to both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. This damage from the micro-injuries causes the immune system to respond and repair by triggering new collagen formation resulting in reduced wrinkles or scars, and overall improved tone and texture of the skin. Microneedling can be performed on any body area with simple topical numbing. The treated area will appear pink for 1-3 days. Results are seen gradually over several treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Micorneedling is such a quick and effective treatment that it is the perfect choice for someone who wants real results without the downtime. This treatment is commonly augmented with Platelet Rich Plasma, to help heal the skin and further stimulate collagen.
Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma can either be applied topically or injected into the areas of the face/body or scalp to stimulate wound healing, collagen production, and in the case of the scalp hair growth. During this procedure, you will have your blood drawn. It will then be spun in a centrifuge and the platelet rich plasma, or “liquid gold,” will be extracted and is then either applied topically to augment a treatment or injected into the areas needed to help the body further stimulate collagen.
