  • Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that revitalizes the skin. Using a device equipped with fine needles, controlled micro-injuries are created on the skin’s surface. These micro-punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production, thickening the dermis, and rejuvenating the skin from within.

    Microneedling effectively addresses concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, skin tone and texture issues, and pigmentation irregularities.

  • For skin tone, texture and firmness, collagen production, fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, acne scarring, pigmentation, sundamage and enlarged pores

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Microneedling, known in Hollywood as the Vampire Facial, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for total skin rejuvenation. By seamlessly integrating microneedling and PRP, this treatment harnesses two essential components for optimal skin renewal. Microneedling initiates a controlled injury response, prompting collagen and elastin regeneration, while PRP expedites healing by delivering vital growth factors for tissue repair. This synergistic combination yields extended benefits, resulting in heightened collagen production and sustained skin revitalization, yielding firmer, smoother skin texture with diminished fine lines and improved elasticity. Notably, results peak three months post-treatment, lasting up to 18 months. Furthermore, this procedure effectively addresses concerns such as sunspots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, promoting a more uniform skin tone. Offering a modern approach to skin rejuvenation, our PRP microneedling treatment is the key to attaining a healthier, radiant complexion.

    PRP is a natural, safe and clinically proven treatment promoting hair restoration in androgenic alopecia in both men and women. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting increased hair thickness and density. These treatments seek to prevent ongoing hair loss and enhance the condition and volume of existing hair follicles. Utilizing your body’s healing components, PRP stimulates hair growth, reducing hair loss while improving volume and condition. Results may be noticeable as early as four weeks post-treatment, with significant enhancements often observed after a series of four treatments spaced four weeks apart.
