    Take Your Look to the Next Level with Microblading at Bella Body Medical Spa in Yardley Pa

    Microblading is taking the industry by storm! The latest, most advanced technique to rejuvenate your brows and define your eyes.

     

    You Probably Have Heard About It, But What Is It?

    Microblading is a semi-permanent pigmentation process that uses several fine blades to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair. This procedure allows for customization of thickness, shape, color, and definition to eyebrows.

    How It Works

    Unlike traditional cosmetic tattoos that are applied to the dermis, a deeper layer of skin, microblading is applied to the upper epidermis, a layer of skin closer to the surface. This technique gives the hair strokes a more natural, fine, feathered look and lasts for up to one year. The 100% natural pigments are tailored to each person’s skin and brow color. Those who suffer from thinning eyebrows, patches of undergrowth or overgrowth, or even people suffering from skin conditions such as alopecia will greatly benefit from the self confidence that is instilled with the prefect eyebrows framing their face.

    What Should I Expect?

    Your goals and expectations will be discussed during your microblading consultation. The actual microblading treatment requires two sessions that are six weeks apart to reach optimal results.

    The procedure itself takes approximately 2 hours from start to finish. The majority of this time is dedicated to extensive prep work to ensure we match the perfect eyebrow shape and brow color that best suits you. A topical anesthetic will be applied prior to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. Once the procedure is complete, minor redness and swelling is expected to occur. Initially the color of the new brow will look very dark, but this will soften as it heals over. The most important thing is to keep this area clean and dry as it heals. Also, It is important to note that there is no sweating for 48 hours after the procedure.

    We want to provide only the best in class service and treatments at Bella Body Medical Spa. We are committed to a customized plan for any of your facial concerns and the treatment that will best meet your individual needs.

    Hollywood Facial FAQ

    Micro-Needling with PRP

    2 is Better than 1

     

    What is PRP?

    Platelet rich plasma treatments have been a growing trend among aesthetic practices across the country.  This popular treatment makes headlines every time a celebrity icon such as Kim Kardashian gives the treatment five stars.  Despite the prevalence of PRP many people still have questions about platelet rich plasma and how it benefits their skin.

    What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

    PRP contains a highly concentrated number of platelets and cytokines.  These platelets release a complex mixture of eight potent growth factors that stimulate cell growth and conduct signals to help regenerate the skin. Cytokines, proteins that are key in cell signaling, encourage the body to rebuild damaged tissue which promotes the healing of soft tissue and the growth of new skin. These nutrients work wonders for the skin when they can reach the deep layers of the dermis.

    Micro-needling & PRP

    Micro-needling utilizes multiple fine needles to penetrate the skin to increase collagen production and to promote skin rejuvenation.  Micro-needling as a standalone treatment can increase collagen by 200% and up to 600% when a topical growth factor serum is applied.  It was designed to treat common skin concerns such as fine line, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone and texture. Micro-needling initiates the skin’s natural repair process by creating micro-injuries in the skin.  When platelet rich plasma penetrates these tiny channels, it can work deep within the skin’s layers.  The benefits are greatly enhanced when micro-needling and PRP are used in conjunction as they can improve the skin’s renewal cycle and increase your collagen by 1000%.

    What Can I Expect During the Treatment?

    Step 1: Your blood is drawn by a Certified Aesthetic Nurse.

    Step 2: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma, serum, white blood cells and red blood cells.

    Step 3: The platelets are removed from the centrifuge.

    Step 4: Your aesthetician will apply the platelets to your face and then micro-needle them into your skin.

    Step 5: Three passes of micro-needling is performed over the face.

    Step 6: You will leave the serum on your face for at least four hours after the treatment.

    Step 7: One Treatment per month for 3 months is ideal followed by 1 per year for maintenance.

    Micro-needling and PRP is an ideal treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks on all skin types.  This all over facial rejuvenation results in younger, tighter looking skin that delivers incredible benefits that last up to two years.

    Performed in unison with Micro-needling, at Bella Body Medical Spa, platelet rich plasma offers an astonishing age-defying solution. Both treatments that offer their own unique benefits come together to create lasting facial rejuvenation.
