Body

I. What is Microneedling? It is the use of sterile needles that causes thousands of microscopic wounds to the dermis layer of the skin, initiating a natural post traumatic inflammatory response, which releases growth factors and the formation of collagen and elastin to the dermis layer of skin.

A. Dr. Glynis Ablon, writing in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology in 2018, agrees that Microneedling is an effective method of combating the signs of aging skin, reducing acne scarring, helping with dyspigmentation.

II. What is Microcurrent? A microcurrent facial is often referred to as a “natural” facelift. A microcurrent facial emits extremely low-voltage of electrical currents, which mirror your own body's electrical currents on a cellular level to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production.

A. Benefits of Microcurrent include combating aging signs, reducing scarring, firmer skin, helping with dyspigmentation, and even improving stretch marks.

III. What are Chemical Peels? It is chemical solutions applied to your face, which causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. Once this happens, the new skin underneath is often smoother, less wrinkled, and less damaged.

A. Chemical Peels are good for acne, fine lines and wrinkles, dyspigmentation, and sun damage.

IV. Botox is used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the facial area. When injected in tiny amounts, the neurotoxin causes facial muscles to relax and almost magically erases frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet. Dr. Ellen Marmur states it smooths the skin and causes slight structural changes to the face: such as opening up the eyes, widening the forehead, and elevating the brows.

Conclusion

I. Transition to conclusion and summary of importance: In conclusion, this is everything that we need to discuss currently.

II. Review of main points: Microneedling, Microcurrent, Chemical Peel, and Botox

III. Closing statement: We are excited to launch our new program, and we hope that if you have any questions or concerns, you will let us know.
