Luminous Flintridge offers microneedling through SkinPen, EVO, or Morpheus 8 face and body. SkinPen microneedling works by creating controlled micro- injuries in the skin using a pen-like device equipped with fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
One of the advantages of microneedling is its precision and consistency. The device allows for adjustable needle depth, ensuring that the treatment can be customized to target specific skin concerns and areas of the face or body. Additionally, SkinPen is designed with safety features to minimize the risk of adverse effects, cross contamination, and ensure a comfortable experience for the patient.
SkinPen and Evo microneedling is commonly used to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and hyperpigmentation. It’s suitable for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas of the body.
Please consult with your provider for the overall benefits and risks of microneedling. For additional information on Morpheus 8 face and body, please refer to the Services tab.
PRP as an add on to Microneedling
Luminous Flintridge MedSpa is offering Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for various cosmetic and medical purposes, including treating under-eye hollows, stimulating hair growth, and as a supplemental treatment to microneedling for improving skin laxity, collagen growth, and fine lines.
PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood plasma, making it a safe and natural treatment option with minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects. The plasma is rich in platelets, which contain growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. By using the patient’s own plasma, PRP harness the body’s natural healing abilities to promote rejuvenation and improve various skin and hair concerns.
Here’s how PRP can benefit specific areas:
Under-eye hollows: PRP can help rejuvenate the under-eye area by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and thickness. The growth factors present in PRP can stimulate tissue regeneration, reducing the appearance of hollows and dark circles under the eyes.
Supplemental treatment to microneedling: Luminous Flintridge offers the use of PRP as an enhancement to Morpheus8 Face and Body and SkinPen or Evo microneedling treatments. When used in conjunction with microneedling, PRP can enhance the effects of the treatment. Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response. PRP, when applied topically or injected into the skin following microneedling, delivers growth factors directly to the treated area, accelerating the healing process, promoting collagen production, and improving skin laxity, texture, and fine lines.
