WHAT IS PRP?

PRP or platelet rich plasma, uses your own blood that is rich in platelets, which are essential to healing and contain growth factors, to stimulate new and healthy skin cells. 

During PRP facial/ hair stimulation, blood is drawn from you and spun in a centrifuge which separates the platelet rich portion of the blood from other components, allowing for the most beneficial components of the blood to be used for skin rejuvenation. 

When the PRP is injected into the desired parts of the face that needs replenishing, or into the scalp for hair stimulation, the renewal process begins. The process is also sped up since these concentrated platelets are full of growing and healing factors, which help repair and attract important stem cells needed to heal the damaged skin and tissue. 

The injection areas can be targeted, such as under the eyes, nasolabial folds, cheeks, lips, jawline and neck or specific scalp areas with noticeable hair thinning, to allow for maximum benefit. The initial results are usually apparent within 4-6 weeks however the healing process is ongoing and skin/scalp will continue to be stimulated resulting in a more overall youthful appearance with time. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRP?

PRP stimulates elastin and collagen stimulation, resulting in tighter and smoother skin as well as reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, it boosts collagen resulting in overall skin rejuvenation, a more youthful appearance and long lasting results. 

PRP is natural and safe since it is using the natural elements of your own blood, without the addition of any foreign products. 

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?

Results typically last 12-18 months after a minimum of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. 

WHAT IS BOTOX?

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

WHAT IS HCG WEIGHT LOSS? 

HCG is a hormone produced by placenta during pregnancy.

Depending on the desired weight loss, it can be used for 23 days or 35 days for up to 20-40lbs weight loss. Even though you are on a very low calorie diet, your appetite will be suppressed as a result of the hormone. 

This service comes with biweekly Vitamin B12, Vitamin B1-B6 and Fat Loss injections. 

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?

That depends on you. There is more than one phase to the diet, with the first phase consisting of a very low calorie diet, minimal exercise, avoiding certain types of food and staying adequately hydrated. Over the next phase, calories are gradually increased while still limiting certain products and adding them later on during the last phase. 

The whole point is not just a quick weight loss, but it is also lifestyle modification to allow for weight maintenance after the initial goal weight has been achieved. 

IF I GAIN SOME OF THE WEIGHT BACK, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

You can do another round of HCG after a minimum of 6 week break. If you choose not to do so, our Registered Dietitian can help you get on an alternative track with monthly follow ups. 

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF A VITAMIN B12 INJECTION?

WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling involves using a device that pricks the skin with tiny sterilized needles creating multiple small wounds. Our spa uses one of the only FDA approved microneedling devices. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING?

Once the small wounds are created using the microneedling device, it stimulates your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heals your skin and gives an overall youthful appearance. In addition, it tightens the skin, reduces pore sizes, reduces fine lines and wrinkles as well as helps with pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Absolutely. You have the option to do microneedling therapy on its own. We use a serum prior to gliding the microneedle device across your face. Once done, all you have to do is let the skin heal properly while using adequate sunscreen if stepping outdoors. Optimal results will be apparent within a few days to a week.
