Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) is a popular and effective dual-modality cosmetic treatment that combines two powerful skin rejuvenation techniques into one session. It's often referred to as RF microneedling and has gained popularity for its ability to deliver significant results with minimal downtime.

How it works

The treatment uses a specialized device that has a head with multiple fine, sterile needles. The procedure involves:

Microneedling component: The needles are precisely inserted into the skin, creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries or "channels." This process, known as collagen induction therapy, triggers the body's natural wound-healing response. The skin begins to produce new collagen and elastin, the essential proteins that provide skin with its firmness and elasticity.

Radiofrequency (RF) component: Simultaneously, as the needles are in the skin, they emit radiofrequency energy. This energy generates heat in the deeper layers of the dermis, known as the reticular layer. The heat causes a "thermal injury" that further stimulates collagen remodeling and production. This targeted heat also helps to tighten existing collagen fibers, resulting in an immediate firming effect.

The unique advantage of this combination is that the RF energy is delivered directly into the dermis, bypassing the skin's surface (epidermis). This means that the treatment can provide significant tightening and collagen-building effects without the risk of thermal damage or hyperpigmentation that can sometimes occur with laser treatments, especially on darker skin tones.

Key features and benefits

Superior skin tightening and firming: The combination of microneedling and RF energy provides a powerful synergistic effect. The thermal energy from the RF component causes a deeper and more significant tightening and firming effect compared to traditional microneedling alone.

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: By promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin, the treatment helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a more youthful texture to the skin.

Improved scarring: RF microneedling is highly effective for improving the appearance of acne scars and other types of textural irregularities. The heat helps to remodel scar tissue, while the new collagen fills in depressions.

Reduced pore size: The treatment can help to shrink enlarged pores, leading to a smoother and more refined skin texture.

Treats multiple areas: While most commonly used on the face, RF microneedling can also be used to treat the neck, chest, and other body areas to address sagging skin, stretch marks, and scars.

Minimal downtime: The procedure is considered minimally invasive. While you may experience some redness, swelling, or a "sunburn" sensation for 1–3 days, most people can resume their normal activities quickly.

Safe for all skin tones: Unlike many laser treatments that carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for darker skin types, RF microneedling is generally safe and effective for all skin tones because the RF energy is delivered beneath the surface of the skin.

How DermaPen works

The DermaPen device is a small, handheld, motorized tool with a sterile, single-use needle cartridge on the tip. The needles rapidly move up and down, puncturing the skin vertically as the device is glided across the treatment area. The key features that make a DermaPen distinct from traditional microneedling rollers include:

Vertical stamping: The needles enter the skin at a perpendicular angle, which creates clean, precise channels without tearing or scraping the skin. Traditional rollers often enter the skin at a curve, which can cause more trauma and pain.

Adjustable needle depth: The depth of the needles can be precisely adjusted by the practitioner, allowing them to customize the treatment for different skin concerns and areas of the face and body. This is crucial for safely treating delicate areas like around the eyes or lips, as well as for targeting deeper issues like acne scars.

Controlled and consistent: The automated, consistent motion of the DermaPen provides a more uniform treatment than manual rollers, ensuring that the entire area receives the same level of micro-injury.

What it's used for

The micro-injuries created by the DermaPen trigger the body's natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness, elasticity, and overall health. As a result, DermaPen is used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:

Acne scars: It helps to break down old scar tissue and stimulate new, healthy tissue to fill in pitted scars.

Fine lines and wrinkles: The increased collagen production helps to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Hyperpigmentation and sun damage: It can help to break up and fade dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Enlarged pores: By stimulating collagen, it can help to tighten the skin around pores, making them appear smaller.

Stretch marks: It can improve the texture and appearance of stretch marks by promoting new collagen growth in the affected area.

Improved product absorption: The micro-channels created by the needles allow topical products, like serums and growth factors, to penetrate much more deeply into the skin, significantly enhancing their effectiveness.

The procedure and recovery

A DermaPen procedure is typically performed in a clinic or a medical spa by a trained professional. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand to minimize discomfort. The skin will be red and may feel warm and tight for a day or two after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. The full results of the treatment, as new collagen forms, become visible over the course of several weeks to months. Multiple sessions are usually recommended for optimal results.

This is the strongest of our microneedling treatments.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that provides a deep exfoliation by using a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to "shave" the surface of the skin. This process removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often referred to as "peach fuzz" or vellus hair.

How it is performed

The procedure is typically performed by a licensed professional on clean, dry skin. The provider holds the skin taut and uses the scalpel at a precise 45-degree angle, gliding it across the skin in short, gentle strokes. While it may sound intimidating, the process is generally painless, with most people reporting a sensation similar to a light scraping. The entire treatment is usually quick, often taking about 30 minutes.

Key differences from shaving

It's important to note that dermaplaning is not the same as shaving. While both use a blade to remove hair, the goals and techniques are different:

Purpose: Shaving is primarily for hair removal. Dermaplaning's main purpose is exfoliation, with the removal of peach fuzz being a secondary benefit.

Tools: Professionals use a specific surgical scalpel designed for the procedure, which is held at a unique angle to gently scrape the skin. Standard razors used for shaving have multiple blades and guards that are not meant for this level of exfoliation.

Technique: Dermaplaning is done on dry skin and involves a different angle and movement to remove dead skin cells effectively.

Benefits of dermaplaning

Dermaplaning offers several cosmetic and practical benefits:

Deep exfoliation: It removes dead skin cells, helping to reveal a brighter, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

Improved skin texture: By eliminating the top layer of skin and peach fuzz, it can help to smooth out uneven texture and make the skin feel incredibly soft.

Enhanced product absorption: With the barrier of dead skin and hair removed, skincare products like serums and moisturizers can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

Flawless makeup application: Makeup, especially foundation, glides on more smoothly and evenly, avoiding the "caked-on" look that can be caused by peach fuzz.

Reduced appearance of fine lines and scars: The exfoliation process can help to soften the look of fine lines and minor acne scars.

Potential side effects and considerations

Dermaplaning is a relatively low-risk procedure, but it's not for everyone. Potential side effects are usually mild and temporary:

Redness and sensitivity: The skin may appear slightly red or feel sensitive, similar to a light sunburn, for a day or two after the procedure.

Minor cuts: If not performed by a trained professional with a sterile blade, there is a risk of small nicks or cuts.

It's generally not recommended for individuals with certain skin conditions like severe acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. The results are temporary and last about three to four weeks as a new layer of dead skin cells accumulates.

How it works

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that provides deep exfoliation. It works by gently "sanding" or "buffing" away the outermost layer of dead, dull skin cells. There are two primary types of microdermabrasion:

Crystal microdermabrasion: This method uses a hand-held device that sprays fine, abrasive crystals (such as aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) onto the skin. The crystals, along with the exfoliated skin cells, are immediately suctioned away by a vacuum attached to the same device.

This procedure removes the stratum corneum, which is the top layer of the epidermis. By doing so, it triggers the skin's natural repair process, encouraging the production of new, healthier skin cells and boosting the synthesis of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.

Key features and benefits

Improved skin texture and tone: The removal of dead skin cells reveals a smoother, softer, and more even complexion. It can significantly improve the appearance of rough skin, fine lines, and sun damage.

Reduces signs of aging: By stimulating collagen production, microdermabrasion helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and shallow wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and plump appearance.

Minimizes acne scars and discoloration: The treatment can effectively lessen the appearance of mild acne scars, as well as hyperpigmentation, age spots, and sun spots, by removing the superficial layer of discolored cells.

Pore refinement: The vacuum suction and exfoliation work together to clean out and reduce the appearance of enlarged or clogged pores.

Enhanced product absorption: With the outermost layer of dead skin removed, skincare products like serums and moisturizers can penetrate deeper into the skin, making them far more effective.

Non-invasive with no downtime: Microdermabrasion is a gentle procedure that is generally painless. It requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after the session. Any minor redness typically subsides within a few hours.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural wound-healing response, which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin.

How it works

The procedure involves a handheld device, often shaped like a pen or a roller, that is passed over the skin. The needles on the device puncture the skin's outermost layers, creating microscopic channels. These controlled "micro-wounds" are not visible to the naked eye and do not cause significant damage. However, the skin's repair mechanisms are triggered, initiating a cascade of events:

Inflammatory response: The micro-injuries signal the body to send blood, growth factors, and other healing components to the area.

Proliferation: The skin begins to produce new collagen and elastin, which are the fundamental proteins that give skin its firmness, elasticity, and smooth texture.

Remodeling: Over time, the new collagen and elastin mature and contract, leading to a tightening and smoothing of the skin.

Common uses and benefits

Microneedling is a versatile treatment used to address skin concerns related to dullness and lack of radiance, including:

Dull skin and lack of glow: Stimulates circulation and cell turnover, helping skin appear brighter, fresher, and more radiant.

Uneven skin tone and texture: It can improve the overall texture of the skin, making it feel smoother, and can help to fade hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

Fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating new collagen, it helps to plump and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Enlarged pores: The collagen-building process helps to tighten the skin around pores, making them appear smaller.

Tired or dehydrated-looking skin: Helps improve overall skin quality and gives a more refreshed, healthy appearance.

Improved product absorption: The micro-channels created during the procedure allow topical skincare products (like serums) to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective.

What to expect and aftercare

Before the procedure, a numbing cream is typically applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. The treatment itself is relatively quick, often lasting about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.

After a session, the skin will be red, swollen, and may feel tight or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few days. Post-treatment care is crucial for proper healing and involves:

Avoiding direct sun exposure and using a high-SPF sunscreen.

Using gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers.

Avoiding makeup and active ingredients (like retinoids) for a specific period, as advised by your provider.

For best results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended.

Professional vs. at-home devices

It's important to distinguish between professional microneedling treatments and at-home rollers. Professional devices are motorized and can be adjusted to penetrate the skin at a deeper, more precise level, leading to more significant and reliable results. At-home rollers use shorter needles and are primarily used for exfoliation and improving product absorption, with much less effect on collagen production. They also carry a higher risk of infection if not properly cleaned. It is always recommended to seek a professional, such as a board-certified dermatologist or a licensed esthetician, for microneedling procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Our classic microneedle is a less intense version than the Elite Microneedle.

How it works

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to cause a controlled exfoliation. The solution's ingredients—which can include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), among others—work by dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. This process removes the outermost layers of the epidermis, and in some cases, parts of the dermis, depending on the peel's strength.

Chemical peels are categorized by their depth:

Superficial peels: The mildest type, these peels use gentle acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid) to exfoliate only the outermost layer of the skin. They are often used for a quick refresh and have minimal to no downtime. We do these frequently.

Medium peels: These peels use stronger acids (such as TCA) to penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the upper part of the dermis. They are effective for more pronounced skin issues but require more downtime, typically a week or more. We do these less often.

Deep peels: The most aggressive type, deep peels use powerful chemicals (like phenol) to penetrate deeply into the dermis. They are used to treat severe skin concerns but have significant downtime and are only performed once. These should be done in a doctor's office.

By removing the damaged outer layers, the treatment triggers the skin's natural healing and regenerative response. This stimulates the production of new skin cells, as well as collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin's structure and elasticity.

Key features and benefits

Improved skin texture and tone: Peels reveal the fresh, new skin underneath, resulting in a smoother, softer texture and a more even, radiant complexion.

Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: By boosting collagen production, medium and deep peels can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

Acne treatment and scar improvement: Salicylic acid peels are particularly effective for treating acne by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. Peels can also help to fade acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Reduced sun damage and hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels are a highly effective treatment for fading sun spots, age spots, melasma, and other forms of discoloration.

Addresses multiple concerns at once: A single peel can address a variety of skin issues, including uneven tone, sun damage, and textural irregularities, making it a versatile and efficient treatment.

Variety of strengths: With options ranging from superficial to deep, chemical peels can be customized to match your specific skin type, concerns, and desired recovery time.

Cold plasma is becoming a really interesting skin treatment option, especially for dull, tired-looking skin.

Here’s how it works and why it helps with brightness:

What is cold plasma?

Cold plasma (also called plasma fibroblast or atmospheric plasma) uses ionized gas at a low temperature.

It creates a field of energy that interacts with the skin’s surface.

Benefits for dull skin

Boosts circulation → increases oxygen and nutrient delivery, which brings back a natural glow.

Cell renewal → stimulates fibroblasts, helping skin turnover and collagen production.

Removes buildup → helps break down excess oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells that make skin look flat and lifeless.

Enhances absorption → makes the skin more receptive to serums and brightening products.

Evens skin tone → can help with mild pigmentation and unevenness that contribute to dullness.

What to expect in a treatment

Usually painless and non-invasive.

Feels like a cool or slightly tingly sensation on the skin.

No downtime, but skin often looks immediately fresher and continues improving over days.

Cold plasma is often paired with brightening facials, vitamin C, or hydrating treatments for best results.
