Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment creating invisible “micro-injuries” in the surface of the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. The addition of the Klotho Serum intensifies the treatment.
What to expect during microneedling with the Klotho:
A thorough consultation and skin analysis will determine which depth of microneedling is right for you, and what kind of results to expect. We will go over how to care for your skin the next few days during the healing process.
Your skin will be cleansed, gently exfoliated, microneedled with the Klotho serum, followed by LED light therapy and a soothing hydrocolloid mask. There is no numbing needed at the depth of needling used. Mircroneedling with RadioFrequency is performed only by Dr Karen or Dr Hale, and for that version of microneedling you’ll absolutely be given numbing cream.
We will review post care and you will be given the remaining Klotho serum to use at home, and samples of gentle skincare to use for the next few days.
What is Klotho?
In 1997, scientists discovered a gene that can extend the lifespan of cells. Researchers studied the Klotho gene, and found that its age-suppressing properties can be activated. The Klotho Skin Lab was the first to isolate human mesenchymal cells, which are genetically modified to upregulate the Klotho Gene and produce Klotho protein, as well as catalyzing second generation growth factors. Through meticulous assay tests and refinements, the team at Klotho Skin discovered the most optimal concentration levels of the Klotho protein, second generation growth factors, and the Klotho protein to help elongate the life of skin cells..
What does microneedling feel like?
You’ll feel a little scratchy sensations and a little vibration from the microneedling device, it’s not painful.
Who can benefit from microneedling?
As long as you don’t have any active acne, microneedling is for you! This isn’t a facial, but can be a great treatment alternated with your regular facials.
Can I go out afterwards?
Absolutely, you’ll be a little pink for a few hours but not severely red. We avoid exercise or sweating immediately after.
How long before I see results?
You’ll have glowing & plump skin the first 2 weeks and continue seeing benefits long term. We recommend a series of treatments followed by maintenance seasonally, or 3 to 4 times a year.
