Filler Treatments

Please refrain from aspirin based products for 7 days prior to injection. No alcohol or exercise 24 hours prior to injection.

Microneedling Treatments
What are the benefits?

Reduce fine lines and wrinkles while tightening skin 

  • Improve hyperpigmentation due to melasma, sun damage and rosacea 

  • Fade scars associated with acne, stretch marks and generalized trauma

  • Reduce pore size and improve skin texture

When can I expect results?

Results are not immediate, and most guests require 3 sessions over the course of 3 months. Sessions are scheduled every 4-6 weeks (and not sooner, as the skin is still healing prior to 4 weeks). Collagen production can take up to 3 months, so most guests don't start to see the final benefits until their final session. Most often we recommend supplementing your microneedling with PRF or Platelet Rich Fibrin which further accelerates and enhances collagen production. 

How do I prepare?

The preparation for microneedling begins two weeks prior to your procedure. To learn more about how to prepare, and aftercare instructions, read our Microneedling pamphlet
