Microneedling with PRP

What is it?

Microneedling with PRP is a procedure designed to initiate your skin’s healing response by causing carefully controlled micro-injuries, which stimulates the skin to heal old sun damage and scarring, while also encouraging new collagen growth.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from the patient’s own blood. Platelets help blood clot, so they are vital for healing wounds and injuries. PRP is full of growth factors that aid in tissue repair, promote cell growth, and encourage new collagen production.

What does it treat?

Microneedling can help with:

• Reducing the appearance of pores
• Smoothing the texture of the skin
• Remodeling old scars

Downtime & Pain Level?

Patients are numbed before microneedling with PRP, so most people report a discomfort of 1 or 2 out of 10 for the overall process.

Before & After Treatment

Before treatment, make sure to tell the office about any medications you are taking that could interfere with platelets, such as blood thinners, as well as any history of cold sores.

After the microneedling, you will have a thin layer of PRP that is left to sink into the skin for 4 hours before being washed off, and you can use your normal makeup and skin care products 24 hours later. Most patients notice redness after microneedling with PRP that fades in 24 hours.

How Often Can You Get It Done?

Treatment can be done once a month.
