SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen Microneedling

Microneedling is a technique where millions of microchannels penetrate your skin triggering a release of natural growth factors to rebuild new dermal tissue rich in collagen and elastin proteins. The treatment can be done alone or enhance your results with the topical application of PRX DermPerfexion or Exosomes during the treatment is highly recommended. Microneedling is used to improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin texture. Exosome treatments are the most cutting-edge treatment for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. Exosomes are little messengers derived from stem cells that deliver large amounts of growth factors and regenerative properties to other cells. These important proteins, cytokines, and mRNA with high regenerative potential have shown incredible signs of tissue repair and improving skin cells that take the skin to a younger state.
