MICRONEEDLING
An effective collagen induction therapy in which small needles are used to create punctures in the skin. The small skin punctures create a wound healing response and allow skin cells to renew. Microneedling amplifies the skin's natural collagen and as a result, aids in the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines lessen acne scars, improves skin elasticity, reverses hyperpigmentation & sun damage, and even out uneven skin tones. The best results from microneedling are seen after a series of 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart.
How does microneedling work? It creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact
There are three phases to the wound repair process:
Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Microneedling with PRP
This treatment has recently become very popular and is often referred to as ‘Vampire Facial’. Platelet-Rich Plasma is extracted from your own body and spun inside a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. The separated PRP is then re-introduced to the wound areas which accelerates collagen production. This procedure is ideal to address acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, stretch marks, uneven skin texture, and large pores. The treatment can be performed for the face, neck, and body. The best results from microneedling with PRP are seen after a series of 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart.
