Tiny Needles, Big Results
Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to treat fine lines and wrinkle (especially around the eyes), stretch marks, and to reduce the appearance of acne scarring. The process of microneedling is characterized by tiny sterile needles pricking the skin causing minute wounds followed by Platelet Rich Plasma which encourages your body to produce more collagen and elastin, which are what give the skin its firmness and smoothness. Your best complexion is only a few microneedling appointments away.
Morpheus8
At Advanced Dermatology, we offer Morpheus8 to tighten the skin, jowls, and define the jawline. Morpheus8 targets sub-dermal skin layers to enhance the appearance of the tissue, and remodel collagen. The best part, it requires no major surgery and you will have no downtime after your treatment. Read more about the benefits below.
How Does It Work?
Collagen is the protein in your body that keeps your skin looking youthful and firm. Microneedling helps increase the production of collagen in the underlying layers of the dermis which helps fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, stretch marks, or other scars. The modular tip of the Morpheus8 allows for customized treatments for small facial zones.
