COLLAGEN INDUCTION TREATMENT FOR THE PRICE OF A FACIAL
Many of my patients (both men and women) get facials regularly. Facials are great. They remove the top layer of very superficial skin cells,cleanse the skin, and generally help make the skin look fresher and healthier. Doing a price check at the better skin salons in L A, a good comprehensive facial can cost anywhere from $150 to $300.
What many people don't realize is that for the same amount of money, they can get a much more extensive treatment to improve their skin called Collagen Induction.
Collagen induction is a treatment that goes far beyond anything even the best facial can accomplish in terms of improving your skin quality and tone.
Facials deal with only the most superficial layer of the skin.It is actually the layer of cells that are dying and being sloughed off anyway.
Collagen Induction treats the deeper layers of the dermis by creating thousands of tiny microscopic holes into the deeper layers of the skin stimulating the healing cascade.
Aestheticians are not licensed to perform these treatments due to the more complicated nature of the induction. Only duly licensed medical professionals are legally allowed to do these in California.
The result of this "micro damage" is new,fresher,firmer and clearer skin. The rollers used for Collagen Induction vary in lengths depending on what skin problem is being addressed.
Collagen induction can be used to clear pigment, fine lines and wrinkles ,shrink pore size,tighten and tone the skin. It is also very effective on softening acne scars.
Peptides,growth factors,vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients are applied to the face as a serum and "worked into the skin" with the derm roller.
After the treatment a soothing peptide and growth factor infused mask is applied to the face for 45 minutes to up-regulate and maximize collagen production. As the dermis is now 'open' from the needling, the skin soaks up these growth factors many times more completely than on a facial. The result is stimulation of new collagen production which tightens and smoothes the skin with a more profound and lasting result than a facial.
These collagen production changes last for many months or even years if repeated treatments are done, compared to a week or so from a facial.
Next time you are considering a facial,why not get the most benefit for the same amount of money?
Have a Collagen Induction treatment.
You'll love it ! And so will your face.
