Dresden Holden L.Ac. - holistic microneedling with growth factors
Dresden Holden Wellness in Santa Barbara, Ca uses microneedling with Procell Mesenchymal Growth Factor technology to create an effective facial rejuvenation treatment that unlocks your body's natural ability to produce healthy new skin.
As we age, fewer regenerative cells are available in the skin to repair against the factors of our life that age us (sun damage, chemicals, environmental toxins, stress, and gravity). This is all perfectly natural, however, there are things we can do so support our skin so we can look and feel our best.
A microneedling session with Procell Growth Factors produces very small microchannels in the most surface layers to the skin and is then supplemented with growth factors that triggers proliferation of collagen and decreases the inflammatory response to support skin texture, integrity and overall appearance.
Microneedling is an effective, non-toxic and non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. This facial rejuvenation treatment is amazing for bolstering skin health without damaging the surface layer which nearly eliminates the downtime and damage that can be found with lasers and chemical peels. Other positive effects of microneedling include the breakdown of scar tissue and discoloration as well as increased product absorption to further skin nourishment.
What is recommended:
By the age of 30 years old our inherent stem cells are at 25% of what they were in our 20s. By age 50, natural stem cells are at 2%.
It is recommended that beginning in our thirties we begin to supplement the skin with growth factors to support collagen production and reduce inflammation. This treatment will not resolve wrinkles but will support the skin, skin integrity, and luster.
Microneedling is best done with some regularity for optimal results. The recommend series is 3-4 treatments a year, or sessions scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.
For maximum results, depending on need or preference, supplemental cosmetic acupuncture treatments with red LED light therapy are recommended.
What are growth factors:
Growth factors are bioactive signaling molecules to increase cell-to-cell communication, improving form and function. The main focus is to stimulate, and increase distribution of, pre-existing collagen and elastin cells in the skin, facilitating skin regeneration. In addition to collagen and elastin production, growth factors are supportive for messaging new cell and blood vessel growth, optimizing repair after injury, activating anti-inflammatory responses, and supporting skin integrity.
What a treatment includes:
Holistic facial microneedling sessions include traditional whole-body acupuncture to stimulate healing both topically and internally. Whole body acupuncture works by balancing the body and decreasing inflammation holistically.
Microneedling is then followed by 20 minutes under a high powered Red LED light that supports collagen production and healing.
Included in each session is the application of natural organic hyaluronic acid serums, Procell Growth Factor serum and an after care kit of growth factor serums that you will use for the following few days to maximize collagen production and decrease inflammation.
