Microneedling + PRP
Microneedling
A minimally invasive treatment using tiny needles to cause controlled micro injuries that do not actually damage the epidermis or dermis. This skin’s natural repair process can reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduction of pores and acne and/or surgical scars, and improve the skin’s texture, tone, and colour.
PRP (Platelet-rich plasma)
PRP treatments involve drawing the patients own blood and separating out the platelet-rich plasma, which is then microneedled back into the patient’s skin. The injection boosts collagen production in the area, which creates the appearance of more volume in the area while improving the texture and tone of the skin. PRP is all-natural, with extremely minimal risk of adverse reactions or allergies.
