Microneedling is a safe natural, holistic alternative for resurfacing the skin using microneedles without an aggressive machine which is safe for all skin types. When combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) used topically and injected, this treatment provides optimal results to improve wrinkles, large pores, scars, stretch marks and overall skin appearance by stimulating new collagen/growth factors formation.
To amplify the benefits of microneedling, Rejuran can be incorporated into the treatment, too.
Rejuran, A skin treatment derived from salmon DNA that helps heal, hydrate, and regenerate the skin. Combining these two treatments can boost results:
Improved absorption- Microneedling creates micro-injuries that allow Rejuran to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
Enhanced healing- Rejuran can enhance the skin's recovery and overall rejuvenation.
*Rejuran is not currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for injectable use. Therefore, in the United States, Rejuran is typically applied topically in conjunction with microneedling or fractional laser treatments, rather than being injected.
