Episode Details

Monina just got back from the ICES skincare show and she has a lot to say.

Every year the show reveals what is next in professional skincare. Last year it was exosomes. This year the treatment that stopped her in her tracks -- and that she had done on her own face before leaving -- is called Bio Microneedling. No needles. No device. No wound response. And results she could see the next morning.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• What Bio Microneedling is and how it is fundamentally different from traditional microneedling
• What spicules are -- the microscopic silica structures that do the work -- and why they create 3 to 7 million microchannels vs the 600,000 to 700,000 from traditional devices
• Why it compresses cellular turnover from 28 days down to 7 days
• Why it can be used on skin types that traditional microneedling cannot -- active acne, inflamed rosacea, lupus
• Why it does not create a wound response or trigger excess melanin production
• What the treatment actually feels like -- and Monina does not sugarcoat it
• The four formulations: nourishing hydrating, anti-aging, resurfacing, and revitalizing
• Aftercare: what you can and cannot do for 7 days after treatment
• When to wait if you do Botox or fillers
• Also in this episode: Velia's big announcement -- she is moving to Knoxville, Tennessee. The podcast continues, nothing changes for listeners.

Monina is now certified in Bio Microneedling and offering it at Moderne Beauty in San Jose
