MICRONEEDLING & PLASMA FACIAL
ERASE THE SIGNS OF AGING
Microneedling, also referred to as the vampire facial, is a non-surgical and highly effective anti-aging treatment that enhances skin texture and rejuvenates your skin in a natural way.
The Vampire Facial combines two aesthetic treatment: Microneedling for elastin production; and collagen boost for growing new tissue.
WHAT CAN MICRONEEDLING DO FOR YOU?
Here at Dermal Laser, Microneedling is performed by our Certified Skin Health Specialist/Phlebotomist. Recent studies conducted internationally recognize Microneedling as one of the most promising treatments for scar reduction, collagen restoration, and growth. Microneedling is considered safe and natural since it utilizes the platelets from your own body with minimal chance of developing an allergic reaction.
Vampire facials through microneedling therapy are considered effective for adults of all ages, all Fitzpatrick skin types and all people of different ethnic diversity. It is a great modality to achieve skin rejuvenation and firming with minimal downtime.
Microneedling is contraindicated for people with a history of diabetes, blood-clotting disorder, active infection of the skin, a history of shingles, or those taking immunosuppressant and blood-thinning medications.
NCTF® BOOST 135 HA- THE POWER OF A DROP
NCTF® BOOST 135 HA is a unique anti-aging, poly-revitalizing complex that nourishes the epidermis by providing the essential ingredients that it needs to thrive. It creates the optimal environment for fibroblasts, which are responsible for the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
This treatment is ideal for treating the first signs of aging and preventing further age-related damage to the skin.
Revitalize your skin quality with 3 sessions of NCTF® Microneedling at 15-day intervals. Additional sessions can be added at 1-month intervals to maintain results.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
The Microneedling, also known as Vampire facial, takes around 60 minutes. We advise planning to spend 60-90 minutes in our office so we can apply numbing cream, collect and process your blood for the procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During the vampire facial procedure, you will have a numbing cream applied to the area to be treated. After application of liquid the Microneedling device is carefully glided along the skin.
After the Microneedling with treatment, you might experience a mild inflammatory response and may have mild redness and bruising, which will subside in several days.
The procedure needs to be performed several times (we recommend at least 3 procedures), every four to six weeks to be effective. Vampire facelift treatments can help create new collagen in your skin, diminish wrinkles and acne scars, minimize pore size, and rejuvenate your skin.
MEDICAL MICRONEEDLING PLASMA FACIAL
REFRESH AND REJUVENATE
Medical Microneedling plasma facial is a revolutionary procedure which aims to tighten, lift and rejuvenate skin.
Medical Microneedling plasma facial can visibly improve the appearance of:*
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Surgical, acne and trauma scars
- Stretch marks
- Pigmentation
A GLOWING COMPLEXION
Medical Microneedling Plasma facial is suited for more aggressive skin remodeling treatments as well as deeper rejuvenation procedures. It allows the practitioner to penetrate up to 2.5 mm into the skin, activating the cascade of fibroblasts deep within the dermis to ensure a favorable treatment result when it is needed.
For scars, deeper treatments not only successfully break down larger clumps of collagen predominantly found in scars, they also promote the proliferation of normal collagen to replace broken down scar tissue.
Medical Microneedling plasma facial offers unparalleled collagen induction by harnessing the body’s innate ability to re-grow and repair the skin as a response to micro-damage. This small, hand-held device delivers up to 1,300 micro punctures per second into the skin, thus stimulating the production of collagen and elastin and normalizing various skin functions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Medical Microneedling uses controlled precision which promotes three phases of Collagen Induction Therapy mechanics, thus allowing for new collagen growth to occur.
The first phase begins with the release of the body’s own growth factors, followed by a cascade of new epidermal growth, fibroblast chemo-taxis, fibroblast proliferation, and matrix production.
This proliferation of the body’s tissue continues to release growth factors from fibroblasts, keratinocytes and monocytes, culminating in the second phase of Collagen Induction Therapy mechanics, where production of collagen I, III, and IV, elastin, proteoglycans and glycosoaminoglycans, and the process of angiogenesis occur.
The last phase of Collagen Induction Therapy and the desired result of a Medical Microneedlingtreatment is the tissue remodeling process, where the skin’s vascular matrix matures, causing skin to tighten. The body’s ability to remodel and heal itself is at the heart of this amazing product. Moreover, because the process never involves heat or thermal energy, does not use harsh chemicals or cause unnecessary trauma, the skin heals quickly, requiring minimal downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This procedure has been used to treat visible signs of aging, such as skin atrophy and wrinkles, as well as various types of scarring, stretch marks, several types of pigmentation disorders, sun damaged skin, and much more.*
In addition, Medical Microneedlingis a fantastic skin care product delivery procedure. Any product applied to the skin during or immediately after a Medical Microneedling treatment is very easily absorbed into the skin, rendering it much more effective than with a traditional topical application.

*Individual downtime, results and treatment times may vary.
Rejuvenation: 4-6 treatments, 4 weeks apart
Acne scarring: 6 treatments, 6 weeks apart
Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart
For optimal results, consult your clinician about the recommended skin care products pre- and post- procedure.
Typically, you will see results after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after 4 to 6 treatments (spaced 4-6 weeks apart). Your skin will continue to improve over the next 6 months after a course of treatments and when combined with the recommended post treatment care.
For minimum needle depths, Medical Micro-Needling Treatments are painless. Treatments over 1.0mm deep, may require a topical anesthetic cream to be applied for 15 minutes before the procedure. This will render the treatments virtually pain free.
You may experience facial redness for 12-48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment
