How Does It Work?

During the Microneedling procedure, a pen-like device with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced imperfections. The addition of PRP amplifies the regenerative effects, enhancing your skin's natural beauty.

The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. Redness is also common for the first few days

The process consists of drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and separating the platelets in a centrifuge. This platelet rich plasma is then used in injection therapy to stimulate collagen growth, regenerate tissue, and naturally smooth and tighten the skin. It can also act as a non-invasive hair loss management treatment by stimulating your cells to produce thicker hair over time.
