MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP
Akin to the Vampire Facial® procedure, we use a specific technique for Microneedling, followed by application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma). The PRP is derived from the serum portion of the blood, which contains platelets. The platelets contain high levels of growth factors, which, when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell turnover. This helps our skin function optimally, increasing everything from collagen to elastin, while also bringing antioxidants and hydration.

After a small blood draw, your clinician at our will apply a topical anesthetic to your face. Then they’ll pass over it with a PRP Microneedling pen or derma-roller. These devices prick tiny holes in your skin, stimulating its natural healing processes. In addition, the tiny breaks in the skin stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin which allows for facial rejuvenation by reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and scars.
PRP Microneedling can address several issues, including oversized pores, dullness, age lines, acne scars, chickenpox scarring, roughness, and loose skin. Even if you’re lucky not to have any of these issues, you may want to consider microneedling with PRP to improve your skin’s tone, texture and overall appearance.
Improvement in the skin tissues occurs gradually as new collagen and elastin is produced over 6-8 weeks. The results look quite natural.
