So much to learn about microneedling and growth factor technology! This is our signature procedure and we have been using the absolute best growth factors since 2012!  We are the first practice to do microneedling with human growth factors in our area. As the local experts, we are the only practice using our growth factor products. All microneedling is not equal.
Growth factors are highly specialized proteins made by the skin cells to serve as messengers to the cell. They can stimulate cell turnover and jumpstart the repair process to create a healthier cellular environment. This translates into a multitude of beneficial effects for us:
          
            Softening fine lines and wrinkles
            Improving texture, softness and smoothness
            Direct stimulation of collagen and elastin
            Breakup of pigments
            Lessening of pore size
            Reducing redness and inflammation
            Treating acne and scars
            Improve elasticity
            Combat thinning skin and moisture loss
            Restore skins natural glow and luminosity
 
The procedure involves making small microscopic needle channels in the surface of the skin at the exact depth needed to deliver human growth factors to do their best work on the skin cells.  There is minimal downtime, only one night, and all activities can resume the next day. It’s easy, simple and gives a lot of “bang for your buck”. Consider it like aerating the lawn (your skin) and then adding fertillzer (the growth factor serum). Almost any body area can be treated. Many of our acne patients are improved the very next day Collagen stimulation from the needling will occur for several months following the procedure so it is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Within a week, the texture feels inproved.  Get your growth factors…the powerhouses of the skin cell!
All microneedling is not equal. Ours is special. This is why my nurse and I do microneedling for eachother on a nearly monthly basis. It is our little secret but we want to share it with you! 

With efforts being focused to show you first hand what some of our procedures look like we thought we would begin rolling out a series of Youtube Videos that let you see a certain service that may interest you. We just added a lamprobe treatment that takes care of many different things from skin tags, to angioma, scartissue, acne, and more. Watch this 1 minute video to see how quickly, painlessly, and effectively we can treat your unwanted marks. 

Thanks for checking this video out there will be much more to come, feel free to comment here or ask your questions. Or you can call us at 925-933-3194 and get right in touch with the Walnut Creek Office and speak with our very educated team.
