Micro-needling
This procedure involves using an oscillating pen to insert short fine needles into the dermis layer of the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation. By creating a small wound, the skin is stimulated into producing both collagen and new skin cells. Depending on the depth of micro-needling, this procedure can enhance the absorption of product (by 3000%) and also clinically treat scars, wrinkles, age spots, skin texture, and pigment issues.
Micro-needling is most effective when performed once a month for 4-8 sessions. Maintenance sessions can be performed once every 3-4 months thereafter.
Each session includes infusion of hyaluronic acid, apple stem cell serum, an aloe vera mask, and Celluma LED Light Therapy.
Hyaluronic acid
Naturally found in the body. Hyaluronic Acid has a high attraction to water. It holds water and hydrates under the skin. This fills in wrinkles and nourishes skin. Hyaluronic acid acts as your main base for Micro & Nano needling and is placed on the skin before using a Micro-needling pen.
Apple stem cells
These cells are premixed with Hyaluronic Acid to a 5% concentration. From special Uttwiler Spätlauber apples from Switzerland. These have been shown to encourage the proliferation of your own facial stem cells.
