The Collagen P.I.N.® is an FDA Cleared Microneedling Device designed to transform skin tissue through use of an advanced 36-PIN needle system – delivering unmatched control and more favorable treatment results.
This advanced system delivers micro-injuries to skin – promoting the body’s natural healing response and revealing visible transformation to the treated area.
Microneedling
During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles. Automated micro-needling also creates superficial micro-channels which allow topical serums and creams to be absorbed more effectively into the skin.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling with EXO|E is an advanced treatment that harnesses the power of exosomes. Exosomes are tiny communication vesicles naturally found in cells, and they play a crucial role in rejuvenating and repairing skin tissue. Exosomes are applied to the skin’s surface, and a microneedling tool is used to puncture the skin and make numerous holes in the skin’s surface allowing the exosomes to penetrate the holes created by microneedling. When combined with the precision of microneedling, EXO|E therapy stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. This innovative approach not only enhances the overall texture and tone of your skin but also effectively addresses issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. It’s a cutting-edge solution for those seeking a minimally invasive yet highly effective path to youthful, radiant skin.
This procedure is done in 3 steps: D|TOX, EXO|E & RE|PAIR
- D|TOX is applied topically at home 5 days prior to the in-office treatment. This prepares, hydrates, and cleanses the skin for treatment.
- EXO|E is applied topically in-office, before numbing, and prior to the microneedling treatments. EXO|E decreases the inflammatory response while giving a hyper dose of Collagen, Elastin & HA stimulation.
- RE|PAIR is applied topically at home 5 days post in-office procedure. This continues to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing with enhanced results.
Patients are sent home with both D|TOX & RE|PAIR to apply morning and night before and after treatments.
Microneedling with PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses the infusion of concentrated platelets harvested from the patient’s blood to accelerate healing in a specific area. It contains two elements – plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, and platelets. The platelets play a vital role in healing and contain growth factors that stimulate cell reproduction and tissue regeneration in the treated area. The patient’s blood is obtained through a simple blood draw and placed in a centrifuge to spin to create this platelet-rich plasma. Because the treatments use a patient’s own blood, PRP infusions are safe and can be administered alone or in conjunction with other procedures. PRP is a wonderful addition to microneedling. PRP is applied to the skin’s surface, and a microneedling tool is used to puncture the skin and make numerous holes in the skin’s surface allowing the PRP to penetrate the holes created by microneedling. PRP can enhance collagen and elastin production in deeper skin levels. Microneedling with PRP effectively treats acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, uneven skin texture irregularities, and it helps to decrease the appearance of stretch marks. The addition of PRP to microneedling produces superior results over microneedling alone.
