What is Microinfusion? 

Looking for a facial that treats you like gold? Look no further than Microinfusion. This treatment uses one small handheld device with ultra-fine, 24k gold needles to create tiny puncture wounds in the top layer of skin, tricking your body into healing itself more quickly for all the beauty benefits. Just a few of which include:

  • More even skin tone and texture

  • Fades the appearance of dark spots and acne scars

  • Smaller pores

  • Glowing complexion

  • Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles

  • Skin that feels rejuvenated and firm

  • Less excess oil

But here’s the thing - that’s not even the best part about Microinfusion. This treatment also “stamps” a custom beauty elixir - with ingredients chosen by you - into your skin to treat any concerns you may have. This typically includes Botox, filler, and nutrients like Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid to instantly brighten and clarify the skin - with minimal side effects and downtime. It’s a great option for people of all ages, especially before a big event or occasion where you’d like your skin to appear extra luminous.

How is Microinfusion different from Microneedling?

It’s easy to confuse Microneedling and Microinfusion treatments - as both feature handheld needling devices that our nurse simply glides across the skin for an instantly radiant complexion. However, there are quite a few differences as well. Here’s what you need to know about both treatments:

Microinfusion

  • Lasts between 30-45 minutes

  • Uses 20-30 ultra-fine, 24k gold needles (thinner than human hair!)

  • Creates micro puncture wounds on the top layer of skin to accelerate the body’s natural healing process - resulting in a brighter and healthier complexion

  • Stamps a beauty elixir of Botox, fillers, and nutrients like Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid into the skin

  • Minimal downtime required

  • Nearly immediate results after first session - with a glowing and refreshed complexion 

  • $350 at Youth Haus

Microneedling

  • Lasts between 30-45 minutes

  • Uses hundreds of non-channeled needles

  • Creates micro puncture wounds on the top layer of skin to accelerate the body’s natural healing process - resulting in a brighter and healthier complexion

  • Offers PRP option - in which plasma is absorbed into the skin to enhance facial benefits

  • Often requires at least 24 hours of downtime after treatment

  • Results vary by individual - with some noticing benefits after the first session, and others requiring days or weeks

  • Between $300 and $500 at Youth Haus

Both of these treatments are highly popular and effective, but if you’re leaning towards Micronfusion? No problem. Our nurses will work with you to determine the skincare cocktail that fits your specific needs. Vitamin C is known for its brightening abilities and tendency to repair dark spots, which is perfect for those with sun damage or acne scars. Those with dry patches can choose Hyaluronic Acid for a moisture surge, or Botox to fill in minor fine lines around the eyes or mouth. Microinfusion is ideal for a refreshed and radiant appearance before a big virtual presentation at work!
