Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure using thin sterile needles into the skin. Microneedling is great for skin rejuvenation. This treatment helps reduce the signs of aging, tightening of pores, improve skin texture, diminish acne scars, and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
How does it work?
Microneedling works by causing controlled micro-injury to the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This natural healing response makes your body release cytokines and growth factors that lead to the production of collagen and elastin, which is key factors for brightening and tightening of the skin.
Cost:
$295 or a package of 3 is $800
Microneedling with PRP:
Microneedling with PRP, or Platelet-rich Plasma, utilizes a sample of your own blood to extract a high concentration of plasma and platelets. This combination is known to accelerate healing and boost the effectiveness of microneedling. PRP contains leukocytes that contribute significantly to the healing process, resulting in quicker recovery times and more pronounced improvements in skin texture and appearance. Integrating PRP with microneedling is particularly beneficial for those seeking enhanced results and a natural approach to skin rejuvenation.
How long does this procedure take?
Microneedling takes roughly one hour. This includes numbing for 20-25 minutes.
Cost:
Cost of microneedling with PRP is an add on of $200 per treatment.
