Superior Skin Treatments

Dermapen and Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy are restorative treatments that deliver a good deal of sought-after Aesthetic Results. They both provide a host of anti-ageing benefits towards younger, rejuvenated skin. Additionally, they are excellent treatments for long term skin quality maintenance.

Dermapen & PRP Therapy can both

Tighten & Firm Skin
Restore Glow
Enhance Texture & Tone
Diminish Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Improve Moisture Retention
Lessen Appearance of Scars

Basic Overview

Dermapen Treatment

Involves multiple micro-gauge needles that penetrate precisely to specific depths through layers of the dermis. Controlled micro-injury activates The Healing Cascade, thus Collagen and Elastin production are boosted naturally to create stronger skin structures.

Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment

An individual’s own blood is first drawn and then placed in a centrifuge in order to isolate the Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP is then re-injected strategically for anti-ageing purposes. PRP works from within to repair skin damage, provide the building blocks for new growth and serves as a means to collagen induction. PRP Therapy is considered an all-natural and risk-free treatment.
