What’s THE secret to rejuvenated, bouncy, glowing skin? Ample COLLAGEN!
We love to tackle wrinkles and texture with retinols and botox, but don’t forget that COLLAGEN is the key ingredient responsible for naturally producing smooth, supple and youthful skin from the inside. We start breaking down our own collagen (about 1% per year) starting in our 20s. So, there’s (almost nothing) more important than stimulating collagen production on an ongoing basis. Read on to learn how we can effectively do so with a variety of treatment options:
PRF
Platelet Rich Fibrin is obtained from our own blood. After a quick blood draw, we use a special centrifuge to separate the PRF component from the rest of the blood. We then incorporate this serum into your microneedling treatment or use it topically after Radiofrequency Microneedling or CO2 laser resurfacing. PRF can also be included in a custom cocktail for our AquaGold Microchanneling Super Facial, or it can be injected to help rejuvenate crepey, dark under eye skin. The use of PRF triggers the body’s wound healing response without the presence of an actual wound. The result is increased cell repair, new blood vessel formation, and collagen production. Ultimately no matter how PRF is used, it results in firmer, healthier, glowier skin.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a revolutionary biostimulatory injectable that helps to smoothe, tighten and improve the overall appearance of wrinkled and sagging skin. Radiesse is performed by injection, placing the Radiesse superficially under the skin, where it stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen. Some of the most popular areas to use Radiesse are for neck, decollete, and hand rejuvenation.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that is placed in the deeper layers of the skin where collagen naturally exists, and initially “fills” areas of concern with minuscule “poly-L-lactic” (PLLA) particles. As these particles are naturally broken down by the body, a new collagen framework is triggered in their place leaving the skin with more structure, more glow and a tightness that is undeniable. Results are gradual leaving clients looking just like themselves but 5-10 years younger in the most natural way. Popular areas for treatment with Sculptra are: temples, cheeks, preauricular area, and nasolabial folds. Clients report that they see their results getting better and better with each Sculptra session (typically 2-4 are required for full correction), and lasting for over 2 years.
CO2 Laser
Our advanced fractional CO2 technology resurfaces your skin by delivering tiny concentrated beams of heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This process stimulates new collagen and elastin production while the surface level of the skin is also refreshed and regenerated to reveal softer smoother skin! Ideal for face, neck, chest, and hands.
Microneedling/RF Microneedling
If you know me, you know Microneedling/RF Microneedling are my most recommended treatments for maintaining youthful looking skin. By creating thousands of microscopic “injuries”, microneedling stimulates the skin to produce collagen and elastin. It can improve texture, soften fine lines, brighten skin tone, shrink pores and result in skin tightening. It's the best way to keep the skin looking YOUNGER LONGER. Why are we so pumped on the ‘RF’ version of microneedling? Because radiofrequency energy targeted at the deeper layers of the skin helps to amplify the skin plumping and skin tightening benefits of standard microneedling.
Smooth Skin Boosting Threads
These smooth type of PDO threads are not used with the intention of lifting, but rather skin-boosting! They can be used as a very safe alternative to filler. Placed easily and with little discomfort or downtime, these magical little threads increase collagen and elastin production resulting in thickening skin, improving texture, and giving the skin an overall boost. Skin Boosting Threads can be placed almost anywhere you’re looking to mprove crepey skin, replace volume, and restore youthful elasticity while stimulating collagen to form and rejuvenate the skin. Some of our client favorites are: under eyes, stubborn frown lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, temples and even jawline.
Gone are the days where “aging gracefully” meant standing by powerlessly. We now have effective tools that can take back time naturally by stimulating collagen. We’re on team “love what you see in the mirror forever” and if you are too, call today to book a consultation or appointment. ;)
