Treatment Options
SkinPen Microneedling
This treatment uses the FDA-cleared SkinPen device to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, helping improve texture, reduce mild acne scars, soften fine lines, and even out skin tone over time.
Microneedling with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
By combining microneedling and PRF, we can stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing, especially in delicate areas such as the under-eye region and areas with deeper signs of aging.
Microneedling Without PRF
This straightforward treatment relies solely on microneedling to stimulate your skin’s natural repair response, delivering smoother texture and reduced acne scars, without additional serums or PRF.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Personalized Consultation:
We begin with a detailed skin assessment to understand your concerns and goals. This helps us decide whether to include PRF with your microneedling treatment, ensuring the approach is right for your skin's unique needs.
Treatment Day:
Your skin will be gently cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to keep you comfortable. Using the SkinPen®, we create tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. Depending on your plan, PRF may be gently massaged into the skin or applied afterward to enhance healing.
Aftercare Support:
You'll receive simple, clear aftercare instructions that will enable your skin to heal and achieve optimal results. Most people can return to their regular routine within one to two days.
