SkinPen Microneedling: Precision Collagen Induction
SkinPen® was the first FDA-approved microneedling device, delivering precise micro-injuries to the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production. This treatment effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Typically, a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Patients can expect minimal downtime, with slight redness and peeling resembling a mild sunburn in the initial days post-treatment.
Sculptra: Gradual Volume Restoration
Sculptra® is a poly-L-lactic acid injectable that stimulates the body's collagen production, leading to gradual volume restoration in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works over time, with results becoming more apparent after several weeks. Multiple sessions may be necessary depending on skin laxity and goals. This is discussed with your provider during your first appointment. We start with 2 vials per session, with results lasting up to two years.
Hyperdilute Radiesse: Skin Tightening and Texture Improvement
Hyperdilute Radiesse® involves mixing Radiesse® with a saline solution to treat areas with skin laxity and crepey texture, such as the neck and face. This technique stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Hyperdilute Radiesse® doesn’t just stimulate collagen, it also encourages angiogenesis with other skin quality enhancing attributes. Your provider will discuss a treatment plan during your first visit.
