What is the difference between Skinpen® Microneedling and RF Microneedling?Both SkinPen® microneedling and RF (radiofrequency) microneedling stimulate collagen production, but they work in slightly different ways. SkinPen uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response for smoother texture and improved tone. RF microneedling combines this with radiofrequency energy, which delivers heat deeper into the skin for additional tightening and lifting. In short, SkinPen is excellent for acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture, while RF microneedling offers added skin tightening benefits. The best choice depends on your specific goals, and our providers can help guide you.

Are there any side effects?- As with many things in life, balance is key. If administered improperly or in excess, there may be a risk for health complications associated with vitamin or mineral overdose. - Any time an IV is administered, there will always be a risk for infection. This is because IVs open up a direct path into the bloodstream and don’t allow the body a chance to fight against any bacteria that may be entering the person’s system directly. Although infections are very uncommon in IV therapy, it’s still extremely important that a licensed professional administers the infusion and monitors it while in progress.

-
Is IV Therapy safe for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women?There is not enough data on it crossing into the placenta or milk in relation to toxic levels so we do not recommend. But, I am happy to administer plain IV fluids and nausea medications (which is proven to be safe) to help women who are experiencing nausea and vomiting associated with the pregnancy.
