After which, after I’ve injected it, I’ll lay it on the pores and skin, and I’ll use needles to penetrate into the superficial layer of the pores and skin broadly all through the face. Oftentimes, I do the neck and chest as nicely. After which we place a micronized medical-grade collagen masks on to let the collagen penetrating in and sooth the whole lot. It’s a four-part remedy.”
