Microneedling is more popular than ever and there are good reasons for that. The procedure involves rolling a pen or wand with mini-needles over the skin. It creates tiny wounds and results in healing that increases the health, strength, and radiance of the skin.
There are several reasons that people choose to have microneedling done. Some of the most impressive are outlined below.
Eliminate Wrinkles
Aging results in fine lines and wrinkles, but many would prefer not to see them. Microneedling can be used to create better elastin and collagen production which can cut down on these signs of aging and make forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other fine lines less noticeable.
Reduce Appearance of Sun Damage
For sun damage, microneedling is a fantastic solution. It works especially well with age spots and hyperpigmentation. If areas of the skin are brownish and blotchy due to spending time in the sun, microneedling can help. It stimulates new skin cells and collagen to even the skin’s tone.
Help Shrink Pores
It might sound odd since microneedling makes tiny holes in the skin, but it shrinks rather than increases pore size. When the collagen near the pores is stimulated with microneedling, the area starts to become plumper and the appearance of the pore can nearly disappear.
Reduce Stretch Marks
While microneedling might be most commonly used on the face, it can offer improvements anywhere on the body. If you have stretch marks that you want to get rid of, it offers a solution for your woes. This is a common choice after pregnancy when the rapid growth of the skin causes marks on the stomach.
Improve Acne
For those who are using modern topical applications for acne, microneedling can be used in tandem with that. It’s known to make those topical acne treatments more effective than they are on their own. Regular microneedling sessions can help you enjoy fresh clear skin that you are proud of.
Cut Down on Rosacea
The skin thickening and ruddiness of rosacea can be helped by microneedling on the skin. When living with this condition, the skin breaks down collagen more quickly than it would in the average person. The microneedling process helps improve collage growth to reduce irritation and inflammation of the skin.

Are you searching for a way to boost your immune system? IV therapies can be used to fight aging, lose weight, increase immunity, and boost overall wellbeing. Vitamin C injections have a variety of benefits and could be right for your health. Learn more about what you can expect from these shots below.
Enhanced Immune System
One of the main benefits of vitamin C is that it boosts the immune system. The reason it works so well is because it stimulates the production of white blood cells and keeps them safe. It also strengthens the skin and makes it quicker for wounds to heal. Vitamin C can be used if you’re feeling under the weather. While it can’t stop an illness, it can prevent serious complications.
Fights Signs of Aging
Another responsibility of vitamin C is creating collagen, which keeps skin smoother and younger looking. Collagen is essential and helps maintain the structure of many tissues. As you age, less collagen is produced which can result in more wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin C injections can make up for less collagen and keep your skin free of blemishes and wrinkles for longer.
Prevention of Health Conditions
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means that it helps protect you from toxic pollutants that you encounter as you move through your day. When things like nicotine come in contact with the body over a long period, the chemicals build up and can lead to conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Vitamin C injections give you extra antioxidants and help you stay healthier and less likely to experience some diseases.
Reduced Blood Pressure
A variety of studies show that taking continual vitamin C injections works to relax the blood vessels that move blood away from the heart. That means the nutrient can be used to give you lower blood pressure. With about 33% of Americans suffering from high blood pressure, this is a huge benefit for many people. IV injections of vitamin C can help reduce the risk of several chronic and deadly diseases.
If it sounds as if vitamin C shots might be a great addition to your routine, make sure you have the injections done by an expert. Mia is an licensed aesthetician that can provide more information about the injections and set up your first appointment so you can enjoy the benefits right away.

The Differences Between Ultherapy vs Thermage Treatments
As you consider Thermage or Ultherapy, it’s important to know the similarities and differences between the two. Ultherapy treatments are used to lift the skin at deeper layers than Thermage treatments do, which is why it takes more sessions with Ultherapy to see results than with Thermage.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Ultherapy is a non-invasive FDA-cleared procedure. This treatment uses ultrasound energy beneath the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Ultherapy treatments are more suitable for tightening areas around the jaw line, lifting eyelids, tightening neck skin, and diminishing wrinkles. Menopausal women will benefit from Ultherapy more than Thermage because of hormonal changes that cause laxity in skin tissue
How Does Thermage Work?
Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver heat deep into tissues, stimulating new collagen production. When performed on the face, the procedure tightens glandular tissues which is why it’s primarily used to improve facial contours such as smoothing out lines across the forehead or between the eyes. Thermage is also used to tighten the abdominal area, that is the advantage of doing Thermage on larger areas. A single treatment takes about 30 to 90 minutes depending on the treatment area, and there is little to no downtime.
How many treatments do I need?
Thermage treatments take about an hour while Ultherapy takes 30 minutes. These procedures can be performed on any part of the body including your face, neck, arms, hands, chest, or abdomen.
In terms of downtime, both treatments require only minimal recovery with no invasive incisions or stitches necessary for either procedure. Both procedures have similar results when performed on men with great results achieved after 3-4 sessions with 2-3 treatments within a year. Most individuals only need one treatment. For severe skin laxity, two treatments may be more beneficial.
These procedures can be performed on the same day as other non-invasive procedures that you use for self-care, including chemical peels and microdermabrasion, and both Ultherapy and Thermage enhance other skin rejuvenation treatments such as laser resurfacing and injectables like Botox.

Ways of Getting Glowing Skin
Glowing skin that helps you look and feel better is a common request among our clients. For those clients, we recommend a couple different options. We have chemical peels that exfoliate dead skin. The peels also help to bring out newer, healthier layers of skin. They take very little time to apply, and your results will be fully obvious within around a week. We also have BB Glow, which gives your skin a natural glow, allowing you to appear healthier even from a distance.
Internal Options
If you want to feel better from the inside, we also have options that you can go with. Tired and feeling sluggish most days? Then we may recommend our vitamin B injections. On top of giving you a natural energy boost, they can also help you shed excess weight. You can also opt for Juvéderm® HYDRATE. This is a filler that goes inside, typically under wrinkles or in areas you want to firm or plump. You can get lasting effects in very little time, allowing your confidence to show from the inside out.
