Bright & Tight
The ultimate trio in achieving facial rejuvenation
Microneedling uses bi-polar, RF energy alongside minimally invasive micro-needles to facilitate effective, non-surgical, skin tightening with little to no downtime. During the treatment, heat is driven deep within the skin layers to stimulate and remodel collagen and cause elastin cells to regenerate. This results in a firmer, smoother, and more consistent skin surface.
Erbium laser facial resurfacing offers improvement in skin texture, tone, and fine lines on the face, neck, chest, and hands. By removing surface skin damage, it treats photoaging, fine lines, poor texture, and acne scarring.
After your treatment, we will draw your blood and spin it down to collect your body’s own platelet rich fibrin (PRF). This will be applied topically to the skin to accelerate the healing response by using your bodies own growth factors. Increase hydration 72 hours prior to your appointment for optimal results.
This treatment can range from very mild with no downtime to much more aggressive with up to 2 weeks downtime.

Treatments cannot be performed on areas with a suntan or sunburn. Avoid direct exposure to the sun, tanning beds 4 weeks prior to treatment. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher should be applied to any treatment area exposed to the sun.
EXPECTATIONS AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Mild erythema (redness) will be present in the treatment area and can last from a few hours up to a few days. Treatment areas almost always become erythematous. Immediately following the procedure, you will experience a mild sunburn sensation that may include some mild discomfort. Most patients do not feel any significant discomfort, however, an ice pack (not direct ice) maybe applied to help soothe areas with discomfort.
If you swell easily after procedures, you may take Claritin or Zyrtec daily for 1 week prior to your appointment and continue it for a week after your treatment.
An occlusive ointment may be used after facial resurfacing treatments.
It is important to protect your skin from environmental elements; therefore, a lotion with a SPF protection of at least 30 should be used daily.
A few days post procedure, patients will experience mild-moderate peeling of the skin (depending on treatment settings). The peeling is similar to the effects of sunburn. Continue to follow the skin care regimen offered by Candice Roberts, NP. Do not pick at the peeling skin, as it may lead to scarring.
