Process and Promise
This process is comprised of a few steps:
- First, we numb the skin of the area we want to treat.
- We use one of the best micro-needling pens on the market which has small needles that create openings in the skin. These openings will allow the PRP to penetrate to the dermis under the surface of the skin.
- We use your own blood platelets to apply topically those areas you want to restore.
The process of micro-needling creates low-grade inflammation that stimulates collagen and elastin. The PRP has healing and restoring properties that rejuvenate the skin and improve results in comparison to micro-needling alone. Applying PRP brings more stem cells and growth factors to the area being treated which Not only repair damaged tissue but also build new skin, collagen, and blood vessels.
Depending on skin severity in terms of lines, pores, pigment, and scars, we usually recommend starting with 3 sessions. However, up to 12 sessions may be needed to improve more severe skin conditions. These sessions are usually done 1 month apart and after 3 sessions you will maintain results for 9-12 months. We suggest a maintenance treatment at least once a year.
Combine with HydraFacial for even better results!
