MICRONEEDLING - PRP Thunder Bay

Fresh, glowing healthy skin gives the face and body a more youthful appearance.  

Professional skin care regimes can help preserve, maintain and protect skin from the signs of aging and sun damage. However as we age collagen production naturally decreases and your topical skin care regime alone may not be enough to combat the signs of aging. If your ready to take your skin to the next level this innovative procedure in skin rejuvenation might be the right treatment option for you.

What is Microneedling?

 

Microneedling also known as collagen induction therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to produce micro injuries to the skin.  These micro injuries stimulate new collagen and elastin production.  These essential proteins strengthen the structure of your skin from the inside out.

What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?

 

PRP is a natural substance derived from your own blood cells.  PRP contains growth factors that are essential for stem cell migration and ultimately activates and regenerates new cells throughout the body.

Process and Recovery

  4. PRP is then injected into areas of thinning hair throughout your scalp. â€‹

 

You can expect to experience some redness, tenderness and tightness to the treatment area that is similar to a sunburn. Rarely mild bruising may occur. The redness is usually reduced by the second day but for sensitive skin types can last 3-5 days.
