We have long heard the undeniable regenerative benefits of platelets within the medical community. By harvesting our own platelets, we can microneedle or inject this cocktail into the skin and area of concern to naturally boost collagen, stimulate fibroblasts and repair our cells, strengthening the “scaffold” of our skin
Will Kybella remove my chin fat?
KYBELLA contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Using a grid system, KYBELLA is injected into the submental area (under the chin). The treatment destroys fat cells over time, with patients seeing results within 2 to 4 sessions. Since KYBELLA causes the destruction of fat cells, not just a reduction in their size, after treatment, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Thus, results are permanent
How can I remove discoloration and dark spots?
Microneedling allows us to directly deliver nutrients and other skin enhancing substances deep into the dermis. A customized mixture of vitamins is absorbed by the mesoderm to tackle your specific dermatological needs and stimulate the production of radiant skin. For an instant refresher, we microneedle pure Hyalauronic Acid into the superficial layers to plump up the epidermal keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the epidermis, minimizing fine lines and “ironing-out” lax texture. To target discoloration, we deliver a potent brightening serum. We can also deliver Botox into the superficial muscles, addressing enlarged pores and uneven texture, resulting in a tightened and smooth appearance
How does PDT help with sun damage?
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a procedure that uses a nontoxic light-sensitive molecule, usually a drug that becomes activated by exposure to a light source, such as red light or blue light, to apply light therapy selectively to targeted pre-cancerous lesions, such as actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, acne and sun damage. PDT essentially consists of three steps. First, a light-sensitizing liquid (photosensitizer) is applied or administered. PDT, unlike other light-based and laser therapies such as intense pulsed light, do not require a photosensitizer. A wide array of commercial photosensitizers are used for PDT, such as ALA or MAL, both of which are FDA approved and used in the office treat a variety of conditions previously mentioned.
