liquid gold facial
The Liquid Gold Facial uses microneedling with platelet rich plasma (PRP). Platelet Rich Plasma (aka "liquid gold") has been injected into athletes for years to help heal their injuries quicker. Microneedling with PRP has become a very popular procedure over the past several years because the improvements in the patient's skin are dramatic. The microneedling device contains tiny needles that create small dermal injuries to the skin. These dermal injuries trigger our skin's natural recovery process and will produce new elastin and collagen to repair the dermal injury. Adding PRP on top of the dermal injuries provides an extracellular matrix that will promote tissue regeneration and will help smooth and tighten the skin.
​
Maintenance Bar uses the SkinPen®, which is the only FDA approved microneedling device on the market.
