Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion:
The Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that has so many benefits. It will help with your acne scares while also revitalizing dull skin, reduce large pores, erases fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pigment irregularities (hyperpigmentation), stretch marks, and age spots. This treatment exfoliates the skin at a professional level using a special diamond tip tool that removes dry, dead skin cells leaving new skin to rise to the surface. The Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion is especially good for hard to reach areas and delicate skin. If you have dull or flaky skin, this is a great option for you.
Microneedling:
Microneedling treatments reduce acne scars in the same way they improve the overall skin texture. These unsightly skin surface irregularities are caused by fibrosis, in which scarring pulls the surface skin deeper, giving the appearance of craters. The smooth texture can be restored with microneedling treatments.
A series of tiny, sterile needles pick the skin to the dermis which causes the body to produce more collagen and elastin in that area. The revitalized production of collagen and elastin boosts the skin making it more plump and smooth with long lasting natural looking results. Although it is not an instant looking fix, with your body producing more of these components, you will have a gradual gain that gets better and better.
PRP Microneedling for the face:
By combining two techniques — microneedling with PRP — you get double punch to thoroughly rejuvenate your skin. PRP Microneedling for face promotes healing process, stimulates skin renewal, boosts new collagen, lifts all wrinkles, improves age or sun spots, discoloration, and smooths out the skin.
PRP is plasma-rich platelets that come from your own blood. Your blood is drawn and then spun to pull out the PRP. The PRP rejuvenates the skin area with the new collagen production to smooth and heal scars. This is also commonly known as a Vampire Facial. This is because the PRP makes your face red during the procedure looking like a vampire attack, but much less scary and actually very helpful!
PRP Microneedling can also be used for the scalp as it promotes healthy hair growth for thicker and darker hair. PRP is an amazing treatment that is still under research for all the benefits it can be used for.

Morpheus8:
Morpheus8 treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and body. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. During the procedure, we insert a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect.
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment. You will notice the first visible results within a few days. Typically the most noticeable results appear after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment and you can combine Morpheus8 with PRP to achieve optimal results!
