Microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma)

Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Affected Areas

Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy. The prp treatment is ideal for face benefits including the treatment of acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, lax skin, sun damaged, large pores, and uneven skin texture. It can be performed either on the face or body and is suitable for all skin types and colors.

How Platelet Rich Plasma with Microneedling Works

This therapy is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment with quick recovery time and is designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. The treatment actually involves the use of two procedures, micro-needling and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) done consecutively.

Micro-Needling

The first procedure is called Micro-Needling. A small handheld, automatic device that contains tiny micro-needles is passed over the skin creating tiny micro-wounds, or channels, on the skin. During the body’s natural wound-healing process of these channels, collagen and elastin are automatically produced. Micro-needling with PRP for wrinkles is one of the more popular treatments that we do. Everyone has wrinkles that they would like to get rid of, and the PRP treatment for the face has lasting benefits.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

The second procedure is called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). Platelet Rich Plasma is produced from an individual’s own blood. After a blood sample is obtained from a patient, the blood is put into a centrifuge, which is a tool that separates the PRP from the blood. The blood is spun for approximately 15 minutes.

PRP contains highly concentrated amounts of natural growth factors and other cytokines that promote the regeneration process of soft tissues. The PRP is applied directly to the channels that were created from the micro-needling to further stimulate the natural healing process and the creation of collagen.

Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Aftercare Recovery

After the treatment, your skin will be slightly pink and feel slightly sunburned. For most people, your skin will completely recover in 24-72 hours making the microneedling with PRP aftercare very easy. Your body’s collagen production usually takes about 4-8 weeks, so you will continue to see improvements over this time.
