Reset Your Skin with                          Collagen Induction Therapy

I love offering Micro-Needling to our patients.  Its the perfect combo of getting patients the results they want with also being a pampering session. 

I love this therapy because it is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment with a quick recovery time. It promotes natural collagen reproduction, similar to fractional laser treatments, IPL, and laser resurfacing, but without the side effects and downtime. 

This is a unique way to address and improve:
  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Smokers lines around the lips
  • Skin tightening and rejuvenation
  • Large pores
  • Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
  • Skin texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Scars (surgical and burns)
  • And encourage hair regrowth ( more to come in a future blog post)
The goal in any facial rejuvenation treatment is to make the fibroblasts in the skin produce more collagen. Collagen provides the scaffolding and support (volume and lift) for your skin.  Another added benefit is by creating micro-channels with a Microneedling pen, the absorption of serums and creams are increased by 80%. These tiny channels also stimulate the healing response in your skin which in turn starts the production of new , fresh collagen.

All photos are after 3-4 sessions, spaced a month apart. 
All appointments will include a powerful, rich serum customized for you along with Celluma LED light therapy
