AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ Microchanneling
AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ is a revolutionary microchanneling procedure that aims to produce a smoother, more refined texture. It involves the application of tiny needles and anti-aging serums into the dermis, and can effectively reduce the severity of fine lines, wrinkles, overlarge pores, and more. AQUAGOLD® fine touch™ is frequently used alongside exosomes or injectable treatments (namely BOTOX® Cosmetic and SKINVIVE™ ) to encourage overall skin health, boost hydration, and create a youthful, dewy glow.
Morpheus8™ by InMode
At Shine Medical Spa, we can perform the innovative Morpheus8™ treatment on both the face and certain areas of the body. This popular procedure combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to tighten, smooth, and firm the skin. In turn, Morpheus8™ can reduce a number of cosmetic concerns, not limited to wrinkles, acne scars, and even unwanted fat.
Lumecca by InMode
Lumecca, a type of IPL (intense pulsed light) procedure, applies powerful bursts of energy to enhance the skin’s overall quality. After approximately one to three minimally invasive sessions, the treatment can reduce the severity of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and various types of lesions and veins.
Optimas by InMode
InMode’s Optimas suite is equipped with several modalities – from lasers to IPL and beyond – to allow the provider to deliver an array of aesthetic benefits. This exceptionally versatile system can target multiple areas of the body, and its advanced features can be used to perform skin rejuvenation, hair removal, and more.
SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® is a celebrated example of microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure offered by elite medical spas around the world. One of the only FDA-approved microneedling pens, the SkinPen® is used to create tiny perforations in the skin in order to trigger the body’s healing response. This can encourage collagen stimulation and force the body to cleanse itself of dead and damaged skin cells, improving overall skin tone and texture. The treatment can diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, pores, and other common aesthetic concerns.
SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP involves the simultaneous application of micro-needles and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These two forces can work together to curb pigmentation issues, diminish scars and pores, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. While microneedling and PRP can both dramatically renew and enhance the skin on their own, combining these two dynamic procedures can create an even more refreshed and revitalized appearance.
PRP Therapy
Like microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes the body’s natural healing properties to encourage the growth of healthier cells. Also used in sports medicine to treat injured muscles and tendons, PRP has become increasingly well-known for its ability to produce beautiful cosmetic effects. The procedure includes the extraction of a small amount of blood, from which the platelet-rich plasma is separated with a centrifuge and re-injected into the treatment area. At Shine Medical Spa, we offer PRP therapy for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
Face
As a stand-alone skin rejuvenation procedure, PRP can address sagging skin, wrinkles, and a number of other age-related conditions. It can prompt tissue regeneration and repair while also improving skin tone and texture. This has also been referred to as the “Vampire Facial.”
Hair
PRP is rapidly becoming the gold standard for non-surgical hair restoration. When administered by an experienced provider (such as a member of our Shine Medical Spa staff), PRP can strengthen dormant hair follicles and restore proper growth. This can make it a very effective solution for hair loss, hair thinning, and male- and female-pattern baldness for many patients.
Dermaplaning
A staple of many top medical spas, dermaplaning employs a razor-like device to cleanse the skin of debris, dead skin cells, and vellus hair (also known as “peach fuzz”). When performed by one of our experienced providers, dermaplaning can produce a healthy and refreshed glow. This skin resurfacing treatment is famously gentle and quick, with most sessions completed in an hour or less.
Microcurrent Skin Rejuvenation
A microcurrent facial applies small amounts of electric energy to stimulate the facial muscles. By doing so, this often quick and virtually painless procedure can increase cell activity and encourage a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance.

Procell Microchanneling
This minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment uses a specialized device to create tiny micro-channels in the skin. This can stimulate the body’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Essentially considered an advanced form of micro-needling, the procedure is often combined with the application of stem cell-derived growth factor serums for enhanced results.
Its common benefits include:
- Improvement of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and stretch marks
- Minimal downtime compared to other procedures
- Considered ideal for most skin types
Acoustic Wave Therapy AWT®
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) in aesthetic settings, is recognized as a miraculous innovative technology for addressing facial skin texture and other aesthetic body concerns. It is a veritable game-changer in redefining facial contours, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, and invigorating facial firmness and overall appearance.
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to awaken the body’s natural healing processes and facilitate tissue regeneration. A handpiece emitting low-energy pulses or vibrations delivers dynamic acoustic waves to the targeted skin treatment area. Microtrauma stimulates a cascade of biological responses that give skin new life through collagen production, increased blood flow, and elastin synthesis. This stimulated collagen production is critical to skin tightening, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and lifts formerly lax skin.
Furthermore, Acoustic Wave Therapy can enhance lymphatic drainage, which is instrumental in flushing out toxins and reducing fluid retention. This can lead to a more defined facial contour and tame puffiness. Enhanced blood flow means that oxygen and essential nutrients will be delivered to the skin cells, improving skin health and glow.
NeoLifting®
NeoLifting© aims to propel the internal resources of the body for natural rejuvenation and recovery. It can calm down the nervous system, improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, increase the microcirculation in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, normalize cellular respiration, activate metabolism and tissue nourishment, and improve the appearance of skin trophic.
Being at the forefront of a holistic approach to modern beauty, NeoLifting© endeavors to prove there is a way to beauty without pain. This treatment gives a prolonged lifting effect to the face, neck, and décolleté without side effects and the risks of complications. As a result, muscles return to their healthy tonus, facial posture improves, and skin becomes smooth, returning the face to its natural shape. Traditional services – such as facials for acne and rosacea, lash tinting, and brow tinting – are also available.
