Collagen induction Therapy (CIT) or micro needling is a very safe, effective non-surgical and non-ablative treatment for various skin conditions such as fine wrinkle, acne scarring and hyper-pigmentation. Clinical studies have shown professional micro needling to be comparable to fractional laser treatment. By traumatizing areas of the skin, it initiates skin-healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production resulting in a thicker, younger looking skin. At Esthetica MD this procedure is combined with other rejuvenation treatments, including PRP to create maximal benefit and improve penetration of topically applied vitamins, peptides, and other ingredients.
Collagen induction Therapy with Dermapen® is a technology that resurfaces skin in a safe and effective way, replacing manual rolling micro-needling devices. The Dermapen® uses a unique spring loaded, stamping technology where the skin is rapidly pierced. The device creates uniform micro wounds in the skin. Speed and depth of penetration can be controlled. These micro injuries to the skin encourage the body’s innate ability to re-grow and repair the skin through the physiology of collagen induction. Patients report less pain and shorter recovery periods and greater efficacy as a result. Dermapen® can also be used on all skin types. When utilized for generalized resurfacing of the face, products such as topical growth factors and anti aging serums are better absorbed in the skin. It has excellent application with use of PRP and for hair follicle stimulation. A series of these procedures produces results comparable to the use of the fractional lasers without the risks and downtime associated with lasers. The procedure is colorblind and can be used on any skin type.
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment with Selphyl (PRP) - is a natural filler derived from your own blood. A small volume of blood is drawn and then centrifuged to separate platelets, serum and fibrin, which is then activated, resulting in the natural “filler” that is injected to promote facial rejuvenation. Upon administration, platelets release natural tissue regenerating factors, supporting collagen production and dermal matrix reconstruction. The results are subtle, with gradual improvement in the injected area over a 3- to 5-week period. Full correction occurs at 4-7 weeks and can last as long as 18 months.
This procedure can be repeated, and better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Because this filler is made from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of rejection, infection, or an allergic reaction. Improvement in skin tone and texture is achieved, giving your skin a healthy youthful glow. Because we use blunt coated cannulas and automated precise injection technique, bruising, swelling and pain are essentially eliminated.
Skin Tightening & Collagen Stimulation with Tri-Pollar Radio Frequency - is a popular form of treatment that stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and tightens tissue, making it perfect for treating loose skin and cellulite. It’s a non-invasive treatment that is safe with virtually no discomfort. The sensation during this procedure has been compared to a hot stone massage. Radio Frequency therapy works by delivering heat beneath the surface of the skin, thereby tightening collagen. Several sessions may be needed to obtain a lasting outcome. The results however are frequently seen just after one treatment. Your body continues to produce collagen over several months, resulting in long-term effectiveness. The skin tightening can be performed on face and neck, as well as other parts of the body, such as thighs, arms, abdomen and love handles. Multi-Polar Radio Frequency is performed with the latest and most effective Radiofrequency Apollo device by Pollogen, as seen on Dr. Oz,The Doctor and other news shows.
