Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy, is one of the newest, most effective approaches to rejuvenate the skin, improving texture and firmness. The treatment works by creating tiny punctures in the top skin layer. These micro-needles trigger your body to create new collagen and elastin in order to heal. Visible results can be seen after multiple treatments 4-6 after each session, collagen production will continue long after completed treatments! This treatment is ideal for all skin types and can treat a multitude of skin concerns: hyperpigmentation, surgical/acne scarring, stretch marks, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores and more!
The microneedling pen uses sterile, individually-sealed, disposable needle cartridges for optimal patient safety and comfort. Every microneedle tip is actually made up of 12 smaller needles, which use proprietary technology to penetrate vertically into the skin. This creates small, micro-skin channels, while stimulating the skin’s natural ability to heal itself and increasing the production of new collagen — which is the formation of strong, insoluble fibers that serve as connective tissue between cells.
Microneedling doesn’t carry the risk of skin discoloration, unlike some facial rejuvenation procedures that use heat, light or lasers. This makes microneedling ideal for people with darker skin tones.

An option to upgrade your standard microneedling treatment would be adding your own PRP (Platelet rich plasma)
There are several benefits of microneedling with PRP over regular microneedling. Because of the high amount of plasma proteins and platelets, the PRP can promote faster inflammatory responses from the body. This means that once the PRP is absorbed into the skin of your face, the added proteins, platelets, and growth factors will start recruiting more cells to stimulate repair.
Based on studies and observations, microneedling with PRP can often produce better results than microneedling alone. Clients have also reported longer lasting results and greater satisfaction with PRP microneedling versus regular microneedling. In one split-face comparative study, PRP microneedling was found to produce enhanced results and significant improvement of acne scars.
These micro-skin channels carry up to 80% more topical nutrients applied to the skin during the treatment, allowing for deep penetration into the dermal fibroblasts, feeding the cells found in the dermis and basal layers. This increases the absorption of active ingredients into the skin such as platelet-rich plasma , stimulating repair at a cellular level and accelerating the regeneration of the skin’s epidermal cells.
The process of collecting PRP is through a blood draw. We will draw several tubes of blood then spun down in a centrifuge to separate your solid red blood cells from your plasma. Your plasma is then used topically during your microneedling procedure.
Exosomes and PRP therapy share similar philosophies. Exosome therapy uses the same concept of using growth factors to produce collagen growth that PRP uses. However, exosomes are 100x more powerful than treatments with PRP, providing accelerated results and less downtime.
After undergoing Microneedling, the nanoparticles included in the Benev Exosome Regenerative Complex may be administered topically to the affected area. Since the particles are subtle, they are readily absorbed into the skin in a short amount of time. After that, the active substances are absorbed by the various kinds of skin cells, which subsequently transmit instructions to raise the number of dermal fibroblasts to initiate the process of collagen production.
Microneedling, followed by the topical use of Benev Exosome Regenerative Complex, produces the best effects when performed as part of a series. Research using this combination shows:
Hydrodermabrasion is a crystal-free, gentler form of microdermabrasion that combines water and oxygen to reveal a smoother, balanced skin tone.
Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy, is one of the newest, most effective approaches to rejuvenate the skin, improving texture and firmness.
A chemical peel treatment is when a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers of dead skin.
Lipo Cavitation is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses ultrasound technology to reduce fat cells in targeted parts of the body..
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a relatively new cosmetic treatment for non-invasive skin tightening replacement for face lifts.
EMSculpt utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to cause deep muscle stimulation to help reduce fat, build muscle, lift and tone.
A face and neck lift are surgical procedures that reposition facial fat, tightens the facial muscles, skin, and underlying sort tissue. It also removes excess drooping skin. A face and neck lift are often performed in conjunction with facial fat grafting to perform optimal facial rejuvenation.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth
In general, non-surgical skin tightening procedures work by using targeted energy to heat deeper layers of skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and gradually improves skin tone and texture. Some treatments also affect fibrous tissue to help smooth cellulite.
A hydrafacial is one of the most powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatments available today. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection that removes dead skin cells and impurities, while simultaneously delivering moisturizing serums into the skin.
