Aesthetic Benefits of Microneedle Therapy

Image
  Microneedling has been used for over a hundred years to treat a variety of skin imperfections and other aesthetic issues. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses hypodermic needles to stimulate collagen and elastin production and healing in the skin. Here are just a few of the conditions and imperfections that microneedle therapy can help to treat in order to give you smoother skin and a more even complexion. Wrinkles Wrinkles are a common complaint as we age. Over time, your body begins producing significantly less collagen, which is what provides your skin with the elasticity and plumpness that keeps it smooth in your younger years. This means that gravity, sun damage, and other environmental factors begin to take a heavier toll on your skin, quite literally dragging it down and leading to wrinkles. These are most commonly seen between the eyebrows, on the forehead, at the corners of the eyes, and around the mouth. Microneedling stimulates collagen pr...

Fibroblast: A Non-Surgical Skin-Tightening Solution

Droopy eyelids, crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth, age spots—is that all  you’re seeing when you look in the mirror? While these changes in your skin are a natural part  of  aging, they shouldn’t detract from who you are. They shouldn’t hide the beautiful, joyful person that you are, and you shouldn’t feel the urge to hide your face because of them. But what can you do about them? Is surgery the only option? We offer a non- surgical solution to all these problems: Fibroblast. Keep reading to learn more about this skin-tightening treatment.   How Does It Work? Fibroblast involves no cutting or stitching. Instead, we use a pen-like device that transmits an electrical signal to the upper layers of the skin, while transmitting heat to the lower dermal layers. The pen’s plasma tip doesn’t actually touch your skin, but releases its targeted current just above it. The current creates tiny holes, known as micro-injuries, in the layers of your skin...
