Frequently Asked Questions

What skin treatments are available at ILU Collective?

ILU Collective offers a full menu of physician-supervised skin treatments at our Coral Gables location, including HydraFacial, microneedling, chemical peels, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, IPL photofacial, and the Salmon DNA (PDRN) facial. Each treatment is tailored to the client's skin type, concerns, and goals. Individual results vary.

What is a HydraFacial and how does it work?

A HydraFacial is a multi-step skin resurfacing treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and delivers hydrating serums into the skin using patented vortex technology. It is suitable for most skin types and requires no downtime. Results may include improved skin tone, texture, and hydration. Individual results vary based on skin condition and aftercare.

What is the Salmon DNA (PDRN) facial?

The Salmon DNA facial uses polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) - a bioactive compound derived from salmon DNA - applied via microneedling to support skin regeneration and hydration. PDRN is used off-label for aesthetic purposes under physician supervision at ILU Collective. Dr. Asheline Marmolejos oversees all PDRN protocols to ensure safety and proper application. Individual results vary.

How does microneedling improve skin texture?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, which may stimulate the body's natural collagen and elastin production. Over a series of sessions, this process may improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and mild scarring. All microneedling treatments at ILU Collective are performed under physician supervision. Individual results vary.

What is the difference between a HydraFacial and a chemical peel?

A HydraFacial uses vortex suction and hydrating serums to cleanse and nourish the skin with minimal irritation and no downtime. A chemical peel uses acid-based solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, which may result in peeling and a short recovery period. HydraFacials are generally gentler and suitable for sensitive skin, while chemical peels can address deeper concerns like hyperpigmentation or sun damage. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your skin assessment. Individual results vary.

How many microneedling sessions are needed?

Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. Asheline Marmolejos evaluates each client's skin condition and goals to recommend a personalized treatment plan. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results over time. Individual results vary.

Is PRP combined with microneedling at ILU Collective?

Yes, ILU Collective offers PRP (platelet-rich plasma) combined with microneedling - sometimes called a Vampire Facial. Your own blood is drawn and processed to concentrate growth factors, which are then applied during the microneedling session. This combination may enhance the skin's natural repair response. All PRP procedures are performed under physician supervision. Individual results vary.

How do I know which skin treatment is right for me?

The best way to determine the right skin treatment is through a free consultation at ILU Collective. Your provider will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend a personalized plan - whether that includes HydraFacial, microneedling, peels, PRP, or a combination approach.
