A procedure that has received a lot of attention in the anti-aging world in recent years is Microneedling. Microneedling has been found to have miraculous effects on skin, reducing lines and wrinkles and taking years off the face. But all Microneedling is not created equal. What is Microneedling, what are the different types of Microneedling, and which Microneedling treatment is the best one for you and your skin?
Types of Microneedling
Standard Microneedling
The traditional Microneedling refers to the process of creating tiny micro injuries to the skin you wish to treat, using a special device with many small needles that quickly make punctures throughout the skin. The purpose of this is to signal the body that healing must begin, which it does by producing new collagen and sending it to the area. Since collagen is one of the major substances responsible for keeping skin supple, tight and youthful, this serves to allow the skin to heal in a more youthful, even-textured way.
Microneedling + PRP
In this type of Microneedling, the provider takes a sample of the patient’s own blood and separates out the platelet-rich plasma, which is a substance in the blood filled with healing and growth factors. They make a solution out of this plasma which they then inject back into the patient at the treatment site after the Microneedling procedure. This allows the blood’s healing factors to work directly with the body’s healing process and new collagen to dramatically boost results.
Vivace® Microneedling
We believe Vivace® Microneedling is the best Microneedling treatment available. Vivace® Microneedling, offered by Le Reve, takes Microneedling to an entirely new level. This is because it combines traditional Microneedling with two other treatments; Radiofrequency and LED Light therapy. Both RF and LED have been found to have highly beneficial effects on skin. Radiofrequency heat has been shown to tighten skin, while acne responds extremely well to Blue LED light and Red LED light has been demonstrated to encourage collagen production. Vivace® puts all this together to create a complex rejuvenating force far superior to ordinary Microneedling, without downtime, with little or no pain, and with tremendous, fast results. We also offer the option to add PRP to Vivace® for bonus benefits!
