THE PROCEDURE
Mirconeedling is a minimally invasive treatment, the micro-needles on the device create micro punctures this is to stimulate and encourage the production of collagen and elastin. Microchannels are also left on the dermis from the microneedling, this helps the solution to better penetrate the skin deeply, but damaging the skin and it stimulates the healing process in the skin which encourages collagen and elastin production
THE RESULTS
Visible results can be noticed after just 6-8 days following a procedure, and you will see further improvement over time.
We usually recommend a course of sessions depending on what skin condition you want to improve. Most of our sessions are every 4-6 weeks, and top up treatments are every 6 months on average to ensure the best and maximum results. The results can last between 3-6 months depending on the skin concern we are targeting and how many sessions you have completed.

Overview​
​
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood. It is then run in a centrifuge machine to separates the blood into its various components: red and white blood cells, plasma, platelets. The platelets are collected and concentrated to anywhere from 2 to 8 times their normal number. The platelets are then mixed into a blood plasma liquid base and injected directly into the area of concern such as face, scar tissue, hair.
The plasma can be injected or microneedled into the skin. For the face, using plasma by microneedling or injections instantly improves the appearance of uneven skin tone, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, sun damage and pigmentation. And on top of promoting healing, it increases natural collagen production giving your skin a fresh, rejuvenated, youthful glow.
For hair growth, by injecting or microneedling into the scalp can promote hair growth. More info here.
​
The activation of the concentrated platelets in platelet-rich plasma releases growth cell factors that stimulate and increase the number of regenerative cells your body produces. This significantly enhances the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin.
