MICRONEEDLING AND MICROCHANNELING

One of the newest and hottest technologies in aesthetic medicine is using energy to change the composition of skin and the underlying tissue. Microneedling can be paired with radiofrequency (RF) energy for additional benefits, such as skin tightening and fat reduction. The tiny needles deliver RF energy deep to remodel and rebuild collagen to firm skin. Deeper penetration of RF can disrupt fat in the chin, neck, abdomen, and legs. Microneedling with RF is used to: 

• Reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks 
• Treats hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating)
• Tightens skin  
• Diminishes fine lines and wrinkles
• Destroy fat by coagulating adipose tissue
• Treats active acne and acne scars
• Minimizes pores

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that stimulates the production of collagen in the underlying layers of the dermis and resurfaces the skin. This treatment uses tiny sterile needles to create micro lesions that trigger your body’s natural healing response and promote production of new collagen and elastin. 

     Additional benefits of microneedling include:

• Reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles
• Improves appearance of scars
• Shrinks pores
• Improves the effectiveness of topical products
• Invigorates skin and improves dullness

Treatment can be paired with serums that contain hyaluronic acid, peptides, growth factor and vitamins for additional benefits. We use only medical grade solutions to microneedle into the skin to enhance your treatment.  Serums are chosen based on skin conditions.

     Vital Pigmentation

• Anti-aging and skin whitening 
• UV protection and reverses sun damage 
• Encourages collagen production 
• Provides skin lightening and brightening benefits
• Lightens age spots and discoloration 
• Clarifies and brightens the skin tone 
• Helps treat hyperpigmentation and melasma 

       Vital DeAging

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles 
• Improves skin tone and texture 
• Provides deep hydration 
• Promotes extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation 
• Enhance collagen production 
• Induces skin cell repair 
• Lifts and firms by strengthening the plasma membrane of the skin cell

      Vital Scar

• Effective on acne scars, burn scars and post-surgical scars 
• Restorative ingredients accelerate the healing process of the skin 
• Physically breaks up existing fibrosis and collagen bundles 
• Facilitates healthy tissue reformation and promotes cell proliferation through growth factor stimulation 
• Promotes healing and reduces scar discoloration

Microneedling can also be performed using your own platelet-rich plasma. This treatment, which is sometimes referred to as the Vampire Facial, is a form of regenerative medicine whereby a person’s own blood is used to harness the natural growth factors the body uses to heal tissue. Microneedling with PRP:

• Encourages the body to recycle old/damaged skin cells
• Produce smore collagen and elastin
• Rejuvenate skin 
• Promotes new cell growth

Microchanneling is similar to microneedling, however the needles are much smaller and only superficially penetrate the skin. This procedure consists of creating tiny punctures in the top layers of the skin, referred to as “channels”. These channels are created with very small needles by using a tapping technique to deliver specific solutions/serums into the dermis of the skin. 

Microchanneling is a non-invasive procedure that invigorates the body’s natural function to produce collagen. It also stimulates the production of elastin and various other building blocks that contribute to healthy skin. The serums may contain stem cells and growth factors from platelet rich plasma (PRP) or other components that nourish the cells with nutrients that strength the skin. Over time, the repeated healing process improves the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin. This procedure safe for all six Fitzpatrick skin types and most conditions.  

Serums may include:

• Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma
• Dermal Fillers
• Botox
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Growth Factors.
• Lactic Acid (Vitamin C)
• Cytokines   

This treatment is used for the improved appearance of:

• Fine lines and wrinkles 
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Skin laxity
