researching and implementing new treatments within our practice. Some of Jon’s
favorite treatments include medical-grade peels and collagen induction therapy
with microneedling, which address a wide range of conditions with proven results
over time. By creating tiny channels in the skin, microneedling stimulates collagen
production and enhances the absorption of nutrient-rich skincare products. This foundational approach to collagen regeneration is key to achieving long-term beauty and youthful skin. Jon's unique skills and continuous improvement of each treatment ensure exceptional results tailored to each client.
