This facial offers all the benefits of Microneedling combined with the amazing BioRePeel. The microneedling procedure increases new collagen and elastin production, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fades acne scars, stretch marks and surgical scarring, improves skin tone and texture. The BioRePeel will offer moisturizing effects by providing the skin with amino acids and vitamins while also offering exfoliating benefits by providing the skin with a cocktail of AHA and BHA.
This innovative facial employs microneedles to delicately deliver a potent serum directly into the skin. The serum, enriched with Botox to smooth skin and reduce oil production, also contains hyaluronic acid for enhanced hydration, vitamin C, and a blend aimed at firming, restructuring, and brightening the skin.
Microneedling effectively treats various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. It’s a versatile treatment that can be used on your hands, face, neck, and chest and is suitable for most skin types. While visible results typically become noticeable after a few weeks, it is recommended to undergo multiple sessions for optimal outcomes. Results can last several months with minimal downtime; follow-up treatments can maintain longevity.
