Natural Skin Care
Microneedling is a therapy that uses a device to make tiny little micro-punctures into the face which in turn tell the body to come and “heal” it. Once the healing mechanism is engaged, the body sends out more collagen and elastin to reinforce sagging skin. The depth of the needling is completely controlled during the entire process so there is no risk of scarring or temporary disfiguration.
Some patients choose to enhance their results by adding Platelet Rich Plasma to the therapy. Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is extracted from the patient’s own blood by separating the platelets in a special centrifuge to be applied topically during the treatment. Platelets are little powerhouses of healing! Think of if you receive a cut on your arm, the platelets rush to the site to create a scab and once the scab comes off, there is beautiful and new skin underneath. When applied to an area of healing, these platelets send even stronger signals to the body to come and magnify the healing process.
At Longevity Medical, we use the only FDA approved microneedling device that has 3 safety features that protect against cross-contamination of body fluids between patients. Other devices can allow blood to escape into the body of the pen or have cartridges that could be re-used. The SkinPen is the only device on the market that protects patients from potentially being exposed to any infectious disease, such as HIV or hepatitis!
Best results are seen when a series of at least 3-6 treatments are applied about a month apart. This gives the body a chance to initiate healing and then builds upon each subsequent treatment. Results can be boosted in the future to maintain a healthy glow. Each woman is individual and Dr. Magerus meets with each patient to set out a treatment plan to achieve their goals and ensure the best results!

Here is one testimonial from an ecstatic patient!
“My skin was dull, I had fine lines around my mouth and deep laugh lines. I had my first Microneedling experience in September, and I felt quite comfortable throughout the whole procedure, with little or no pain. Within a couple of days, I saw more youthful looking skin and improvement of fine lines. After my second Microneedling treatment in October, my skin glowed! The fine lines around my mouth and the laugh lines decreased, even more, my pores looked smaller, and my skin seems tighter. After my third Microneedling was in November, my overall skin looks more youthful, my face is glowing and feels extra firm, and the laugh lines are superficial. I am thrilled of how my face and skin looks. I am impressed with Dr. Magerus’s Microneedling procedures and look forward to my next session.”
