What is Skin Rejuventation?

Skin rejuvenation using your own cells that is obtained from your blood and contains plasma which work in the body to clog up cuts and tears.

Plasma therapy involves the injection of the patient’s own cells and fibrin for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles or scars in the face, hands, and neck. Known to some as the “vampire face-lift”. It takes about 20 minutes for each treatment and offers improvements for up to 18 months.


What is Micro-Needling?

Microneedling using Dermapen 4 precision creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing response which initiates the release of natural growth factors to improve collagen formation and cellular tissue. Collagen induction therapy assists in the rejuvenation of the epidermal integrity resulting in improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermapen 4 precision can effectively remodel scar tissue whilst maintaining the overall structure of the skin. Dermapen 4 can be used on all areas of the face and body and can treat a number of concerns.
