My poor friend Claudia. I am doing microneedling on her neck and chest and the lidocaine we used to number here is not working on her. I was supposed to bring down our BLT (Benzocaine/Lidocaine/Tetracaine) to our office and I forgot. I told Claudia she could kill me after I was done with her treatment…....
As we age we continuously lose collagen at a rate of about 1% per year. Between the ages of 20 and 40, we can expect the skin’s collagen to diminish by up to 50%. The result is what we lose in fullness we gain in wrinkles. Great, right!? But it is never too late to…...
Ok, now I have finished the needling session with pure HA here on the face and I will apply two layers of a 5% Retinoic Acid Solution Peel on Claudia’s face. She is holding a fan, and you will see that she will use it 😉 This treatment is fantastic, especially if you would like…...
By making these tiny punctures from when we do a microneedling treatment, small conduits are temporarily created that allow much greater absorption of products through the skin, as I mentioned earlier. This can be very beneficial for drug delivery and the application of serums and oils to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I always emphasize…...
So you can see that we have finished with the chest in this treatment, as it is tomato red. Usually, I would start with the face and neck, then move down and do the chest last. But I applied the numbing ointment on her neck and chest first, as she was going to do another…...
I am finishing up Claudia’s face here before we are applying the 5% Retinoic Acid Peel Solution. We are chatting away here about vacations and my family in Sweden, we are doing this as I mentioned in earlier posts, Claudia is VERY sensitive and the Lidocaine doesn’t really work on her. https://vimeo.com/818195154?share=copy You can see…...
Many studies have shown that controlled injury of the skin at a measured depth will create an overall improvement in a skin condition. In the past, this would be performed with a single needle inserted into the skin and showed promising results. With the use of the new micro needling pen technology, as a practitioner…...
Microneedling, what can I say – I love this treatment! Why do I love it you might ask, well first of all there are so many benefits to microneedling. One great thing is also that it is safe on all Fitzpatricks, which is amazing. Here I am doing microneedling (also called Collagen Induction Therapy) with…...
Here is the last of the nano series with nurse Winnie and Claudia. We are chatting away about how important it is to NOT strip your skin and over-exfoliate. Exfoliation is good, but you should not do it every day, that is a definite no-no. Beautiful skin does not happen overnight, but it does not…...
Here we are continuing the nano needling treatment with nurse Winnie and my long-time colleague and friend Claudia being the patient for the day. She is an amazing aesthetician as well. I will definitely do some videos when I go to her next time, so if you are local here in Los Angeles, make sure…...
