Microneedling + Exosomes
Microneedling is a non-surgical, aesthetic procedure where we create controlled micro-injuries with tiny needles that stimulate your body’s natural healing process. The overall skin structure remains intact and there is production of collagen and elastin. This is a less invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery, with little downtime and fast results.
At AO we use the Skin Pen which offers the safest method to induce collagen production. It is an FDA approved Microneedling device and allows steady penetration into the skin with consistent results.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and addresses a wide range of problems such as acne, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. Not only does Microneedling reduce visible signs of aging, but it also targets scarring and stretch marks.
Microneedling + Exosomes
Microneedling with exosomes is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two powerful techniques. The addition of exosomes takes this treatment to the next level. Exosomes are tiny vesicles derived from stem cells, packed with growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that promote cellular repair and regeneration. When applied during microneedling, these exosomes can penetrate deeper into the skin, potentially accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, and amplifying the skin's natural rejuvenation process. This combination can lead to more significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and youthful appearance compared to microneedling alone.
PRP/PRF Treatment
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet rich fibrin) is used for skin rejuvenation and helps decrease sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles and can also even out skin tone, decrease under-eye puffiness and dark circles. It is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure where we use factors from your own blood to boost collagen production. Historically it has been used in treating injuries and has a role in wound healing. PRP therapy is often used in conjunction with microneedling, to achieve best results but it can also be given in the form of series of injections. There is little to no pain during the procedure however if needed numbing cream can be applied. It is very safe with no risk of allergic reaction as we use your own blood. There is very little
downtime with this procedure.
The treatment involves drawing a small amount of blood which is then spun in a centrifuge machine to separate stem cells and platelets from the red blood cells. The red cells are discarded and we separate platelet rich plasma (PRP) or platelet rich fibrin(PRF). It is then injected in the problem areas. PRP/PRF can also be done in conjunction with microneedling.
We recommend 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart and then as needed. The results can last upto a year.
Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFMN)
The Pixel8-RF is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling system designed to stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This innovative device delivers RF energy directly into multiple layers of tissue using insulated or non-insulated microneedles, offering precise depth control for customized treatments. Safe for all skin types and usable year-round, it treats various concerns including wrinkles, skin laxity, acne scars, and more, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Featuring Arctic Chiller technology for enhanced comfort, the Pixel8-RF system offers significant advantages over traditional laser treatments. It provides uniform energy delivery without loss, easy penetration to target areas, reduced risk of side effects, and precise depth control. The treatment process involves smooth microneedle penetration, followed by bipolar RF energy denaturing the surrounding tissue, which initiates collagen regeneration and elastin production.
With its gold-plated, single-use tips and versatility in treating both face and body, the Pixel8-RF system delivers effective non-surgical skin rejuvenation and tightening. It's a comprehensive solution for those seeking improved skin texture, reduced signs of aging, and overall skin health enhancement, all with the convenience of minimal recovery time.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy (non-surgical facelift) is a non-invasive and FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that utilizes focused ultrasound technology to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face, neck, and décolletage.
Unlike traditional surgical facelifts, Ultherapy stimulates collagen production deep within the skin's layers by delivering targeted ultrasound energy to specific tissue depths. This prompts the body's natural regenerative processes, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin. One of the significant advantages of Ultherapy is its ability to provide noticeable results without surgery or downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to skin tightening and facial rejuvenation.
The effects of Ultherapy typically become more apparent in the months following the treatment, making it a versatile and minimally invasive option for those looking to restore a more youthful appearance.
