Minimally Invasive Rejuvenation of the Complexion with Stunning Results
When the skin suffers from sun damage, the signs of aging, acne scars, and debris, it can affect the entire appearance, creating a negative impression that is difficult to reverse. Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, revitalizes the pores, helping the skin to shed its superficial imperfections for a more youthful, vibrant aesthetic.
Microneedling is applied through a skin pen, which is a hand-held device that gently applies tiny pinpricks to the skin. These minute injuries trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for skin resilience and hydration.
The infusion and application of our La Jolla Botox cosmetic treatment during Microneedling into the superficial layers of the skin are intended to relax the pores and create a temporary youthful and smooth appearance.
Platelet-rich plasma takes microneedling to the next level of effectiveness and results. A small amount of your own blood (about 12 milliliters) is drawn and then quickly run through a centrifuge that separates out the platelet-rich plasma for use. This PRP is applied topically and massaged into the skin after microneedling has been done, which allows for the greatest possible absorption of PRP’s growth factors and other beneficial proteins.
Dermal filler with hyaluronic acid can naturally plump and smooth the skin as well as physically add lost volume. When used with Microneedling treatments, it can help kick-start the collagen production process in the area and encourage the skin to heal faster and more efficiently. This results in a much smoother result than when using Microneedling on its own.
