Advances in technology have exponentially improved the effectiveness of microneedling to deliver even better results. Treatments with the SkinPen microneedling device can be enhanced with the addition of PRP or exosome therapy, making microneedling an outstanding option for comprehensive skin remodeling in Los Angeles.

Beautiful, Natural Results
Sometimes referred to as collagen induction therapy, Microneedling is a minimally invasive, non-surgical skin rejuvenation technique. By stimulating collagen production through micro-wounds in the skin, microneedling reduces wrinkles and fine lines as well as acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. This skin rejuvenation method involves extracting tissue-stimulating plasma from a patient's own blood. This plasma can then be applied as a serum after microneedling to further enhance the skin's collagen-building and self-repairing process.
Exosomes are components in our bodies' cells that communicate with other cells to prompt healing and regeneration where needed. Synthetic exosomes can be used along with Microneedling to encourage the skin's healing and restoration process.
