Microneedling + BioRePeel: Choose this option for the ultimate microneedling experience. BioRePeel is an Italian-made 30% TCA peel that delivers visible renewal without downtime or shedding. This advanced treatment refines texture, softens fine lines, boosts collagen production, and enhances the skin’s ability to absorb serums and vitamins.
Microneedling + Salmon DNA: The structural similarity of human and salmon DNA allows for better absorption and utilization by human cells. When applied into the skin, c-PDRN stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. This leads to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and overall skin renewal.
