Microneedling/Microchanneling

Our microneedling treatments utilize advanced technology to stimulate your skin's natural renewal process, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

About

Microneedling, known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates collagen production through a gentle procedure that rejuvenates the skin. This treatment effectively addresses acne scarring, reduces the visible signs of aging, and revitalizes fatigued skin.

Microneedling triggers the body's innate wound-healing process. The creation of micro-injuries prompts cytokines and growth factors to remodel collagen and elastin, leading to enhanced skin texture and tone.

what to expect

Following a client consultation, we craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. This plan takes into account factors like current skin tone, texture, thickness in treatable areas, and the degree of wrinkles and scarring of concern.

A typical microneedling regimen comprises four to five sessions, each lasting approximately 45 minutes.

Our process involves thorough skin cleansing and the potential application of a soothing gel before the microneedling procedure.

Post-treatment, we cleanse the skin once more and employ techniques such as cold towel application to minimize any swelling. Importantly, clients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Additional treatments are scheduled approximately one week apart, with several sessions conducted over the course of about a month. Notably, these microneedling sessions create channel wounds, often adjacent to previously treated areas, strategically guiding the body's natural skin cell regeneration process. In essence, each successive treatment builds upon the results of the previous one, enhancing overall effectiveness.

When will i see my results?

Roughly a month after the last session, discernible improvements become evident. Fine lines and wrinkles diminish noticeably, while blemishes appear less prominent.

Notably, collagen production continues for an extended period even after the completion of the treatment schedule. The ultimate outcome is skin that's notably firmer and more resilient compared to its pre-microneedling state.

FAQs

Face

  • Micro needling involves using a derma stamp pen or a derma roller device. It is a simple procedure that uses fine needles to create a micro injury which can break down old scar tissue and stimulate new cellular and collagen production. This will create thousands of micro wounds. Your body responds to the wounds by producing a significant amount of collagen and elastin fibers. More collagen and elastin mean healthier, smoother, tighter skin, as well as scar reduction and acne improvement.

  • Treats moderate acne scars, fine lines, deep wrinkles, sagging skin, rough skin texture, pore size, sun damage, and stretch marks.

Vampire Facial

  • The vampire facial starts with micro needling followed by the application of one's own plasma-rich platelet serum. It helps ramp up production of your skin's own collagen—the building block of a firm, bouncy, youthful complexion.

  • The injury from the micro needling allows for topical absorption of the PRP and creates small injuries which trick the body into thinking it has had a major injury. The response to this is stem cell production.

  • You will be topically numbed and cleansed, your blood will be drawn as you numb and then it will be spun in the centrifuge. Once the plasma is separated correctly, the provider will draw it up and apply it topically to the skin while micro needling.

  • Vampire facial can help with texture, skin tone, clarity, pore size, brightness, fine lines wrinkles, skin laxity, and stretch marks.
