MICRO-NEEDLING
Micro-needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) improves the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in improvement of the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels which can be used with topical gels, creams, and serums to help improve the appearance of the skin.

These treatments can be used to treat skin lesions and blemishes and can help to improve scarring such as acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, loose skin, discoloration, and stretch marks. Microneedling is well-tolerated and has little downtime.
MICRO-NEEDLING
60 Minutes
This procedure is given using the MicroPen EVO, the only FDA-approved micro-needling device on the market. A sterile, single-use cartridge containing 14 microneedles is attached to the MircoPen. Your medical professional will apply sterile saline to your skin as a glide lubricante and select the appropriate pen position based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.
MICRO-NEEDLING WITH PRP
90 Minutes
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a step-wise medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed for PRP, which is then placed onto the face to accelerate collagen production and healing.
Combining this therapy with microneedling allows for deeper penetration of PRP and can optimize your results.
Prices will vary based on consultation and individual treatment.

What is Automated Micro-Needling?

Dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness and burning. Adverse events include reactivation of herpes simplex virus(cold sores), pigment changes that include lighter or darker skin in the treatment area that resolves over time, or no change in their acne scars.
