Our natural, minimally-invasive aesthetic treatments will support you in building a strong and sustainable foundation for optimum beauty, skin health and longevity.
Microneedling: This innovative procedure treats fine lines, acne scars, minimizes pores, and improves skin texture and tone. Minimally invasive, microneedling is virtually painless, and is incredibly effective and safe for all skin types. It works by causing microscopic injuries to the skin, which stimulates the body’s innate wound-healing response, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin in the dermis. An immediate (and long lasting) “glow” has clients hooked.
Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that primarily involves the injection of compounds known to be beneficial for skin health, into the dermis. In addition to others these compounds may include vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Mesotherapy can be used to reduce wrinkles, increase collagen production, and improve the skin’s overall complexion. Results can be seen almost immediately, and they will typically last for several months.
PRP: This increasingly popular treatment targets wrinkles, facial fullness, and melasma, and is also effective for treating thinning hair on the scalp. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is abundant in growth factors which stimulate collagen and elastin production and promote conditions for healing. PRP is introduced to the skin by direct injection into specific trouble areas or by microneedling. Because PRP is extracted from one’s own blood, there is little to no risk for a negative reaction and the results are completely natural.
Cosmetic Acupuncture: Find your glow from within. Cosmetic acupuncture targets common skin worries such as fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and scarring. Also known as an “acupuncture facelift,” it is a non-surgical and non-toxic treatment that reverses the signs of aging, helping to maintain a youthful look, and ultimately improve one’s sense of well being.
