PRP Microneedling

Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling, which creates tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production, with the growth factors found in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is a concentrated solution of platelets derived from your own blood.

The tiny punctures created by microneedling help to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that give the skin its structure and elasticity. The growth factors in PRP further enhance the skin's healing process and promote cell regeneration.

Microneedling with PRP can help to: reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of scars, treat acne scars, and stimulate hair growth.

Microneedling can be slightly uncomfortable, but most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or stinging. A numbing cream can be applied to the area before the treatment to minimize discomfort.

You may notice some initial improvement in your skin after the first treatment, but it typically takes several weeks to see the full benefits. Most patients require a series of treatments for optimal results.

Side effects from microneedling with PRP are generally mild and temporary. They may include: redness, swelling, peeling, and mild bruising.

Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the treatment. However, it is important to avoid touching or picking at the treated area.

The frequency of microneedling with PRP treatments depends on your individual needs and goals. Most patients require a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart.

Microneedling with PRP is generally suitable for most skin types. However, it may not be appropriate for individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne or psoriasis.
