Dermapen vs PRP Therapy

Superior Skin Treatments

Dermapen and Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy are restorative treatments that deliver a good deal of sought-after Aesthetic Results. They both provide a host of anti-ageing benefits towards younger, rejuvenated skin. Additionally, they are excellent springtime treatments for the summer to come.

Dermapen & PRP Therapy can both

• Tighten & Firm Skin
• Restore Glow
• Enhance Texture & Tone
• Diminish Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Improve Moisture Retention
• Lessen Appearance of Scars

Basic Overview:

Dermapen Treatment: Involves multiple micro-gauge needles that penetrate precisely to specific depths through layers of the dermis. Controlled micro-injury activates The Healing Cascade, thus Collagen and Elastin production are boosted naturally to create stronger skin structures.

Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment: An individual’s own blood is first drawn and then placed in a centrifuge in order to isolate the Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP is then re-injected strategically for anti-ageing purposes. PRP works from within to repair skin damage, provide the building blocks for new growth and serves as a means to collagen induction. PRP Therapy is considered an all-natural and risk-free treatment. Click here for post- PRP Therapy Tips.
