How do microneedling work?

Microneedling is a procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin causing minor injuries. These pricks eventually heal and generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, and toned skin. Phase 1: Swelling. The medical provider will pierce your skin using an FDA cleared device. This will trigger your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue. Phase 2: Reproduction. During this phase, the wound will rebuild with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels will develop Phase 3 : Remodeling. The micro-injuries will be replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

What areas can I treat?

Microneedling can be used anywhere on the body but the number of treatments recommended may differ based on the area you desire treatment.

What benefits will I see?

Improved skin texture, reduction in wrinkles, and minimized fine lines. You will also notice a reduction in the appearance of static lines, sun damage, skin scarring, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, age spots, rosacea, and melasma. Rejuvenate the skin and make it glow!

When should I expect to see results?

Results will vary by patient and by skin type. We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks in between sessions with at least 3 sessions to see optimal results. The treatment is relatively painless and our team will make sure you are comfortable prior to the procedure with the application of a topical numbing agent.

What is RF Microneedling?

RF microneedling takes the results of Skin Pen microneedling to the next level. This treatment works to eliminate years of damaged skin caused by the sun and the normal aging process. This treatment also stimulates the production of your body’s own collagen. It is a non-surgical solution to skin resurfacing that corrects signs of skin damage and improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, rosacea, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Create the results of a CO2 laser without downtime with this heat-based resurfacing.

What does a RF Microneedling treatment do?

RF Microneedling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional microneedling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the microneedles, RF microneedling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. The RF energy heats the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster, more dramatic results. RF microneedling can offer similar results to ablative laser procedures, but with significantly less discomfort and downtime. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

How long is the treatment and what how much downtime should I expect?

Treatment usually takes 45 minutes – 1 hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Skin is typically red for the first day or two after treatment, but the redness is typically mild and much less than is often seen with laser procedures. It is little or no discomfort after the procedure and patients typically are able to return to regular activities within a day while being cautious about sun exposure and excessive sweating after the procedure.

PRP is produced from your own blood! It is rich in platelets that circulate through your blood and are used for blood clotting. Platelets and liquid plasma are the portions of the blood that contains many factors that are essential for cell recruitment and the production of growth factors.

Kybella is a non-invasive injection designed to target fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys those fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal. Kybella is the only prescription medication approved by the FDA to be injected into your submental area (Chin) to kill fat cells, thus reducing the appearance of a double chin.

Common side effects associated with Kybella injections may include: Swelling Redness at the injection site Numbness Itching and slight bruising Mild pain which is managed with our topical numbing cream Hard skin around the injection site.

What are MIC B12 injections?

Methionine, Inositol, and Choline (MIC) are the most effective group of lipotropic (fat burning) agents, which play an important role in the body’s control of fat. Inositol stimulates fat removal by the liver. Choline prevents cholesterol buildup. Methionine helps Inositol and choline to work more efficiently. MIC injections also contain vitamin B12, which further stimulates your metabolism and gives you a boost of energy, especially if you do not get enough B12 through your diet every day. When these substances are all combined in an injection form, you have a higher chance of getting rid of excess fatty deposits throughout your body.

How often do I need MIC B12 injections?

Typically these injections are performed once a week for optimal weight loss results. Most men and women love the boost of energy they experience. You will want to at least get into the routine of getting these injections once a month, even after your weight loss goals are achieved to improve energy levels and maintain your weight.

What are the benefits of MIC B12 injections?

Vitamin B12 is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system and the formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of most cells of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production.

Our primary fillers that are used are Juvederm and Restylane fillers which is made of hyaluronic acid. Acid may sound scary, but these are natural substances, i.e. Hyaluronic acid, which your body already has/creates, but starts to lose with normal aging. Fillers vary in thickness and viscosity and it is our job to determine which product would be best for the area you are looking to treat to create the most natural result. The use of fillers can be for addressing volume loss, wrinkles in the face or loss of plumpness in the face. As we age, our skin is more susceptible to wrinkles. This starts in our 20’s and continues to progress well into our 50’s and 60’s. We start to have a shifting in our facial fat pads, along with depletion and bony resorption. Fillers help to restore this volume and restore the structure that we lose in our face
