SkinPen Microneedling
What It Does
Microneedling is a treatment that improves the texture of the skin by stimulating collagen production. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, crepiness, enlarged pores, acne scars and melasma.
These results are achieved by causing a controlled injury to the skin using the SkinPen Microneedling device, which triggers the skin’s healing response. This increased collagen production makes the skin look smoother, more refined and brighter. In combination with medical grade skincare, it also helps to lighten Melasma by breaking up the pigment in the dermis and epidermis.
To enhance the results of microneedling even further and to speed healing afterwards, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), Growth Factors or Hyaluronic Acid can be added to the treatment. The most common areas to have treated are the face and neck, however, areas of the body can be treated as well.
Benefits

What to Expect
During Treatment

The vibration of the SkinPen will be felt during the treatment and may even tickle the nose slightly! A small amount of blood may appear on the surface of the skin but will be cleansed off before the treatment is complete.

PRP Cosmetic
What It Does
Platelet Rich Plasma, commonly known as PRP, is drawn from your own blood. It can be injected or applied to the surface of the skin when combined with other cosmetic treatments like Microneedling.
How It Works
PRP is full of growth factors and proteins which help to rejuvenate and heal the skin. Skin texture can also be improved by PRP due to its ability to increase collagen and elastin stimulation. PRP can be used as an alternative to fillers for clients who want a natural option that increases firmness, density, skin elasticity and helps to reduce hair thinning and loss. By using this growth factor of rich plasma and delivering it to the root of the hair follicles, we can stimulate hair growth and improve fullness.
Benefits
- Correction of Melasma and Hypopigmentation
- Reduces Hair loss and Thinning
- Improves Texture and Elasticity on Face or Body
- Improves Keloid Scars
What to Expect
During Treatment
Your blood will be drawn, then placed in a centrifuge which spins the blood very quickly in order to separate and collect the Plasma. The Plasma (PRP) is then either injected into the area of concern or, when combined with Microneedling, is applied to the surface of the skin and absorbed.
Recommended Sessions
3 initial sessions
Ongoing maintenance is required
