Microneedling
With or without PRP or exosomes
Creating “micro-channels” and micro-injuries from the surface of the skin to the deeper layers of the skin induce the healing process, which then promotes new collagen production. This procedure can be done alone or in combination with application of a serum, mask, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or exosomes, which allows improved absorption of these nutritive substances and can have even further benefits.
What is PRP?
It stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is the plasma from your own blood! It has stem cell-like factors to encourage cell turnover (read: look youthful).
​
​
Um, ouch?
Topical numbing is applied before this procedure. We make sure that you are comfortable, it's not intended to be painful.
​
​
​
What are exosomes?
In a few words, "enveloped messengers." In this particular case, stem cells (from adults) in envelopes to transfer them to deeper skin layers and signal rejuvenation and turnover!
What is microneedling?
A pen-like device uses a panel of sterile pins to make small pinpoint incisions on your face, which stimulates collagen and allows active ingredients to sink in to deeper skin levels.
​​
Do we have to do PRP?
No, you can select hyaluronic acid, or peptides, or any beneficial ingredient that is not irritating (i.e. no acids), and now exosomes! Ask us more!
​
​
Do exosomes hurt?
No! No blood draws, and actually helps redness associated with procedures improve drastically within a couple minutes of application. It works wonders!
You draw my blood?
For PRP, we draw your blood in clinic and spin it down to apply to your face during and after microneedling.
Some celebrities coined this combination "the vampire facial"
What else can you PRP?
Um, can we talk about scalp? This is fantastic for scalp health, hair thinning (note, if you are bald, we'll recommend you to a hair specialist, its great in conjunction with other hair growth methods.).
When do you see results?
You may notice results 1-3 days out, but those results keep on keeping on at 1-3 months! After a series of 3, you'll definitely notice brighter and younger-appearing skin.
