MICRONEEDLING

COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY

Collagen Induction is a skin-improvement procedure based on the science of skin injury/repair technique. Collagen Induction causes a controlled damage to the skin that create precise micro-injuries.  Essentially creating channels in your skin. This triggers the healing process, inducing the skin's self-repairing mechanism that creates collagen and elastin, both of which help improve skin texture, tone, and lift.  The micro channels help special serums penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their benefits as well.

Collagen Induction creates a younger & fresher you in a 100% natural way.  The skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves. 

Benefits of Microneedling

  • Collagen reorganization

  • Refined skin texture

  • Reduced wrinkles

  • Reduced scars

  • Reduced pore size

  • Brighter complexion

IN THE TREATMENT ROOM

The treatment begins with a deep surface cleaning for proper penetration of active ingredients. Followed with the use of a Microneedling Pen infused with stem cells & other ingredients based on your specific needs to help the repair of damaged skin cells and cellular regeneration to unveil a tighter, lifted, and youthful complexion. A Professional Grade Peptide Masque filled with hydrators, peptides and antioxidants is laid on the skin for 20 minutes under the LED Therapy to help deeper absorption of ingredients for a healthy, radiant complexion.

Testimonials
M V

I have come to Lena for 2 different types of services on 3 occasions. She is always on time and the suite is adorably decorated and clean. Truly "The Best of Westchester"! I have been extremely happy with my services and have recommended her to a number of other women! She is personable and very easy to talk to, as well as being knowledgeable about the service(s) she is providing, what the client should expect and what your REALISTIC expectations/results will be...this is hard to find, as many others in this industry as not as honest about what to expect. Can't recommend her enough!

Trish Formisano

I went to the Glowup suite today! Lena is so sweet! She makes you feel so comfortable right away! I was nervous about my procedure going in but Lena explained everything thoroughly and put me at ease. My results are amazing and I can’t wait to go back and get more treatments! I will definitely be back!

Kelly Hernandez

I absolutely love Glow Up suite. I have always been very comfortable and satisfied with the owner's work, especially with my hyaluron lip filler treatment. I did 3 treatments and I've been super happy with each treatment. The owner is a sweetheart and she is very knowledgeable. She always makes sure you're comfortable and explains any process very well to her clients. The spa's cleanliness is top notch without a doubt. I will definitely be booking again with Glow Up Suite!

Nicole tartarone

Lena does it all. Lena gave me my first facial and ever since then I have been basically living in her suite. I have never felt so pampered in my life! Since I have been regularly going to her- my rosacea is basically non-existent. I also do laser hair removal treatments with her. The process is fast and minimal pain! Lena also sells her own face care products. I am a huge fan of them. Especially that you know the exact ingredients!

Kyriaki Aronis

Glow Up Suite is the ONLY place I trust with my skin. I have very sensitive/reactive skin and Marilena still manages to give me effective treatments without irritating my skin! Her Glow Up facial is one of my favorites and her fractional plasma treatment literally transformed my skin! Can’t say enough good things!
