For hair loss, receiving PRP treatments along with proper topical medications is one of the only scientific proven methods of treating alopecia other than invasive and expensive hair transplant procedures.

A study published in 2015 in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, which found that men receiving PRP treatment grew more hair and with significantly more density than men who did not.

Alternative procedures to help with wrinkles and photodamage include other non-invasive treatments we also offer such as Botox, microneedling, filler, chemical peels or lasers. Other procedures include invasive surgical procedures (i.e. facelifts) that are much more costly, dangerous, and time-intensive.

Chemical Peels

Can improve the skin’s appearance. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it slightly red and dry. Over the course of the next few days, your skin will gently peel off, leaving rejuvenated skin to appear. The new skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® is a cosmetic procedure that safely freezes away fat from targeted problem areas along the body by a process called cryolipolysis. This treatment targets fat on the legs, arms, stomach, back, flanks and even under the chin. CoolSculpting® is non-invasive and requires no downtime.

No blood, no scalpels, no cutting, no stitches, no scars and no pain. Patients will have only a few hours of swelling and redness. Usually 5 sessions are needed.

Facials

Botox temporarily blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. Getting Botox is quick and causes minimal pain. Dermal filler injections help temporarily fill fine lines and wrinkles and also add volume to the face in desired areas such as cheeks and lips.

Lasers

Lasers are a great alternative to invasive surgical procedures with less cost, pain, downtime, and medical risks. Non-ablative lasers can target hair, spider veins, sun spots, birthmarks, irregular skin pigmentation, and unwanted tattoos. Ablative lasers are more invasive but can produce impressive skin rejuvenation and collagen production.

Microneedling

Non-invasive and almost pain-free procedure where a pen-like device is used to poke very tiny needles through the skin to stimulate your own natural collagen production. The skin plumps and thickens in response to the stimulus, reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines.

No blood, no scalpels, no cutting, no stitches, no scars and little to no pain. Patients will have only a few hours of swelling and redness. Usually 3 sessions are needed.

Nanoneedling

This procedure is similar to a medical grade facial. When you receive a facial, the molecules applied to your skin (hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins, etc.) are too large to effectively reach the dermis of your skin where collagen is built. This procedure allows medical grade serums to transfuse into your skin to boost collagen and fix trouble areas without the pain of needles.

Novathreads are hypodermic needles preloaded with a synthetic PDO absorbable suture. Strategically placed threads to cause an instant lift to unwanted sagging skin on the face and neck region. The sutures dissolve in 4-6 months; however, the results last upwards of years. The sutures under the skin create a stimulatory response which produces collagen.

Plasma Pen
