What to Expect
1) Consultation
We review goals, skin history, and map your plan (stand-alone or with PRP/Salmon DNA add-ons).
2) Treatment
SkinPen creates uniform micro-channels while we glide targeted serums; optional PRP or Salmon DNA can be applied for enhanced rejuvenation.
3) Aftercare
Expect a sun-kissed redness for 24–48 hours. Avoid heat/exercise same day; use gentle skincare and SPF as directed.
What Is the Salmon DNA Facial?
The Salmon DNA Facial combines microneedling with Rejuran®, a premium polynucleotide (PN/PDRN) skin regenerative treatment derived from salmon DNA. Rejuran is widely regarded as one of the highest-quality salmon DNA products available, known for exceptional purity, a strong safety profile, and powerful reparative effects.
Why We Use Rejuran®
Rejuran is formulated with highly purified polynucleotides that closely match human DNA, supporting superior biocompatibility and cellular repair. This makes it a gold-standard option for improving skin quality, elasticity, and hydration—especially for aging or sensitive skin.
What Is a PRP Facial?
A PRP Facial—often called the Vampire Facial—pairs medical microneedling with your body’s own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate collagen, improve skin quality, and accelerate natural healing. PRP comes from a small blood draw and is rich in growth factors that support skin regeneration from the inside out.
Why EmCyte PRP Matters
Not all PRP is created equal. At Thrive Medicine, we use the EmCyte PRP system—one of the most advanced PRP processing systems available. EmCyte enables precise separation and concentration of platelets, producing high-quality, high-concentration PRP that is consistently rich in growth factors. That can mean stronger collagen stimulation, improved healing, and more noticeable results.
How It Works
After microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, PRP is applied topically and absorbed deeply into the dermis. This process supports collagen and elastin production while improving skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.
