This cost-effective and comfortable procedure utilizes the body’s natural healing response and stem-cell growth factors to produce new collagen and elastin – resulting in firmer, healthier skin.
By providing the building blocks of healthy skin, the Micro-Infusion Facial is equally or more effective as other more invasive aesthetic procedures in addressing many common skin complaints. This technology is proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, scars from injury or acne, skin discoloration, and sun damage.
The first step is to introduce hundreds of tiny channels into the skin with a technique called micro-channeling. Micro-channeling stimulates the release of natural growth factors, new collagen, and elastin.
Micro-channeling causes much less damage to the epidermis than dermal rolling, lasers, SkinPen, and other ablative treatments. Because new skin growth is protected, there is less inflammation – providing quicker healing and a much higher success rate for overall and longer lasting results.
During the micro-channeling process, your skin is infused with LIVRA, a revolutionary serum filled with growth factors. Absorption of these growth factors is increased by 300% because of the hundreds of tiny channels created by micro-needling. When absorbed, the unique stem-cell based serums go to work, feeding your skin with powerful growth factors that encourage your skin cells to revitalize themselves.
The Micro-Infusion Facial utilizes stimulation to communicate to your skin’s natural healing ability rather than using destruction and inflammation like most treatments available in the aesthetic industry. This results in a more enjoyable treatment, virtually non-existent downtimes, and happier skin.
This treatment’s technology is the more evolved, comfortable version of the Vampire Facial (micro needling + PRP), which goes for $750 in Austin!
Skin Pens and other micro-needling devices have to be dragged across the face, creating micro-tears as the needle drags through the skin. This additional damage is not necessary to increase collagen and elastin production and is also the primary cause of the lengthy recovery (3+ days) from the procedure.
Consistent, clean channels = effective treatment, zero recovery time
Irregular channels = less effective treatment
Unnecessary damage = longer recovery time
The LIVRA serum that is infused in the skin during the micro-channeling process is the hero ingredient in micro-infusion facials. The LIVRA serum contains the cellular messengers – specialized stem cells – that naturally signal the dermis to produce extremely high-quality collagen and elastin.
These specialized cells dramatically plummet throughout later life, leading to increased inflammation and less efficient healing – ageing. The LIVRA serum is able to harness the vitality of young, healthy human stem cells to turned back your body’s clock to a younger period when more of these special stem cells existed. These pure, robust messengers minimize inflammation while maximizing rejuvenation of the skin – without damage and without downtime.
The LIVRA infusion serums and after care lotions are designed to stimulate and accentuate your body’s natural rejuvenation processes to improve the appearance of aging or damaged skin. When used in conjunction with the micro-channeling treatment, absorption of these growth factors is increased by 300% .
The Micro-Infusion Facial is a balanced approach to skin rejuvenation, reducing recovery time to zero, while maximizing results.
You’ll be in and out in one hour. You may experience what looks like a light sunburn that will likely be gone by the next morning. You can wash your face as usual and wear makeup starting the morning after your treatment.
With as few as two treatments, microchanneling has been shown to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, age-spots, sunspots, and stretch marks. We recommend a series of five treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to optimize your results and see long-term improvement.
Most patients report warmth or minor skin pricks as the treatment is delivered. Many find the treatment relaxing and comfortable. Numbing cream is provided to ensure you are comfortable, though many patients find they can tolerate superficial treatments without any topical anesthetic.
It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for 48 hours in advance of your treatment. It’s best to arrive at your appointment with a clean face. Your skin will be double-cleansed and exfoliated prior to the micro-infusion treatment.
You can go about your normal activities after treatment. You may experience what looks like a light sunburn that will likely be gone by the next morning. Your channels will be open for several hours after your treatment, so you’ll want to avoid touching your skin and avoid sweating immediately after your treatment. It’s also good idea to put a fresh pillowcase on your pillow. You can wash your face as usual and wear makeup starting the morning after your treatment.
Most people notice improvements starting as soon as the day after treatment. Maximal improvement from each treatment will be seen in the weeks following the procedure as the skin heals and builds collagen.
Everyone is different in terms of their needs and expectations. Best results are usually seen after a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Micro-Infusion treatments are very safe and side effects are uncommon. The treatment has also been shown to be safe to use on all skin types. If you have a history of cold sores, please see you MD to get a prescription for a preventative medication and start taking this prior to your appointment time.
Almost anyone is a candidate for micro-needling. The procedure is safe for all skin types and skin tones.
