Why Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Microneedling with PRP–a collagen induction therapy–is an absolute must. It is one of the most beneficial anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments available. As we age, the natural function of the skin to produce collagen and elastin decreases leading to wrinkles, dullness, sagging, and damaged skin. This minimally-invasive procedure regenerates skin function to help prevent and reverse these signs of aging without the considerable risks and unpredictability of lasers and radiofrequency devices. The benefits vs. cost/downtime ratio are unmatched.

How does Microneedling with PRP work?

Microneedling with PRP uses the body’s healing process to help improve the overall look and function of your skin. During this procedure, a medical device with tiny, sterilized needles is used to enter the skin. By creating these controlled microinjuries, a wound healing cascade is initiated that signals your body to stimulate stem cells that enhance collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. As the skin repairs itself naturally (through a process called dermal remodeling), it rejuvenates itself from the inside out leading to a more youthful appearance.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an organic serum derived from your own blood used to accelerate healing and effectiveness of your treatment. PRP is rich in growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and tissue regeneration to create new skin with increased collagen and elastin production. As an added benefit, PRP plays a vital role in the healing process. During your appointment, your blood will be drawn with a tiny needle and used to harvest and process your own plasma. This organic serum will then be infused into your skin at the appropriate depths using our medically advanced microneedling device.

What does Microneedling with PRP treat?

● Fine lines and wrinkles

● Crepey skin

● Uneven skin texture

● Uneven skin tone

● Hyperpigmentation

● Dullness

● Rosacea

● Enlarged pores

● Acne scarring

● Surgical scarring

● Stretch marks

● Hair thinning

Where can this treatment be used?

Any part of the body can benefit from this treatment. The most common areas for treatment are the face, neck, chest, and any area with acne or surgical scarring. Microneedling with PRP has also become a mainstay for treatment of hair thinning and hair loss.

What is the downtime?

Downtime is minimal and consists mainly of redness that typically resolves within 7-10 days.

How often should I do this procedure?

Because results are continually delivered for about six months, we typically recommend receiving this procedure twice each year. For more corrective treatments, such as acne scarring and stretch marks, a series of 3-6 treatments six weeks apart is recommended.

What is AquaGold?

AquaGold is an FDA-approved, revolutionary micro-injection system that allows for microdoses of formulations–such as neurotoxins, hyaluronic acid fillers, and platelet-rich plasma–to be directly delivered into the dermal layer of the skin. It is a non-invasive, virtually painless procedure that uses tiny, hollow needles made of 24k gold to deliver customized serums superficially into the skin to improve skin hydration, texture, tone, pigmentation issues, enlarged pores, acne, and rosacea with no downtime.

How does AquaGold work with Botox?

The AquaGold device can help deliver small amounts of Botox to the dermal layer of the skin. In this more diluted, superficial dose, botox works differently and functions more specifically on the upper layers of the skin to improve fine lines, contract pores, and decrease redness. Notably, botox injected into the superficial layers of the skin can decrease oil production and sweating by decreasing the function of the

glands that produce these substances thus making this technique specifically helpful for rosacea.

How does AquaGold work with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?

The same high-quality FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that we inject to plump lips, lift cheeks, and fill in deep lines can be delivered intradermally across the entire face to give your skin a more hydrated, plumped, and healthy appearance. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are utilized in your treatment to help with your overall skin quality, helping reduce the appearance of dry, thin, crepey skin.

How long does the treatment last?

Results following this procedure are seen within a few days and typically last 2-3 months depending on the condition being treated and the skin quality of the patient. To help maintain the results, treatments can be repeated every 4-6 weeks.

What is the downtime?

Mild erythema, or redness, is seen immediately following the procedure and will typically resolve within twelve to twenty-four hours. Makeup and normal skincare can be resumed the following day.

Why a chemical peel?

Of the many in-office procedures today, chemical peels remain a top treatment due to their unique ability to deliver quick, all-in-one benefits. Our innovative in-office chemical peel supports dermal stimulation and epidermal renewal, safely enhancing the overall appearance of the skin to help you achieve a more youthful appearance and glow with little to no downtime. This peel is a popular results-driven treatment for addressing texture, elasticity, and pigmentation concerns.

What makes our peel so special?

By employing Dr. Zein Obagi’s most-advanced products, benefits from this peel continue well after the treatment is done. Unlike other treatments that simply deal with the symptoms, this peel helps to strengthen and bolster the skin. In other words, we can help target and treat your skin concerns as well as improve your skin’s overall health. In addition, our peel provides antioxidant and anti-irritant protection. Because of the high-quality, medical-grade ingredients, this peel is exclusive to qualified medical providers only.

What conditions does this peel treat?

● Pigmentation from sun damage, such as brown spots

● Uneven skin tone

Who can take advantage of this peel?

What happens during the treatment?

The peel utilizes a blend of 17% salicylic, 5% lactic, and 10% trichloroacetic acid, in addition to a 6% concentration of retinol and multi-action agents that stimulate cell turnover and rejuvenation. Most patients tolerate the peel with only minor discomfort, experiencing a mild to moderate burning sensation for just a few minutes. It is quick and easy. In addition, you will be provided with Hydrating Creme, which helps to stimulate the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid while serving as a calming skin barrier during your healing phase.

How long is the downtime?

Healing will last for approximately 7-10 days. Most patients experience redness and peeling beginning 2-4 days after receiving the peel and lasting 3-4 days. During the peeling phase, it is NOT necessary to hide at home. You should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating, and direct sun exposure for one to two weeks following the peel. Make sure you wear sunscreen and cover your face when exposed to the sun. Once the healing is complete, you can go about your normal activities while enjoying your more youthful, glowing skin.

How often can I receive this peel?

This peel can be repeated every 4 weeks. One peel is enough to advance treatment of most dermatological complaints; however, for best results, we recommend a series of at least three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart followed by quarterly maintenance peels, depending on the reason for treatment.
