Benefits

COULD I BENEFIT FROM MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP?

Microneedling with PRP is any effective, highly advanced technique to trigger natural collagen production in the skin tissues. Microneedling with PRP can do wonders for skin that has begun to show the signs of age. Your body’s natural healing processes are accelerated with PRP, and as the collagen production increases, your skin regains its natural elasticity, smoothness, firmness, and glow.

Microneedling is used to stimulate collagen and elastin, this is known as collagen induction therapy (CIT) and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, diminishes hyperpigmentation, also reduces scarring and improves skin tone and texture. Microneedling with PRP can be used in several different areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, décolleté, arms, abdomen, back, hands and legs and can be performed on all skin colors and types.

Microneedling with PRP has many benefits, including:

• Reduces broken capillaries and spider veins

• Reduces the appearance of large pores

• Reduces acne scars

• Evens skin tone

• Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Gives the skin a fresh glow

• Gives the skin a firmer and smoother texture

• Helps lighten sun spots

• Reduce the appearance of stretch marks

It Works

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WORK?

Microneedling with PRP is a treatment that involves the use of tiny needles that produce micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural collagen production – that substance that provides flexibility and strength to skin and body tissue. With our microneedling technique, we create a matrix of tiny micro-injuries across the surface of your skin. As your body responds with fibroblasts that synthesize collagen to plug up these channels, the resulting network of renewed support lifts the entire surface of your skin, smoothing out wrinkles and sagging tissue.

To speed the healing process, microneedling is further enhanced by injecting PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) into the treated tissue. The PRP is obtained from drawing a small amount of your own blood, from which the plasma is separated to concentrate healing properties.

PRP therapy has made its mark in orthopedic circles, helping patients overcome soft-tissue injuries more quickly by increasing healing resources. We use the same technique in your skin, helping your connective tissue rebuild and renew itself. With PRP therapy, we isolate your platelets, which contain powerful growth factors, and redirect them into your skin where they go to work on repairs and structural support to restore and rejuvenate for a firmer, more youthful texture and flexibility.

One of the most impressive microneedling benefits with PRP therapy is that we’re able to deliver results that last. Because we’re tapping your body’s own resources to rebuild from the inside out, you benefit with natural-looking results that go the distance.

Treatment

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT SERIES?

Most patients receive a series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive six to eight sessions at four to six week intervals. After your treatment, the total healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of repair process required. On average, patients have some slight redness/pinkness (like a mild sunburn) for 2-4 days. Some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.

Many patients notice healthier looking skin immediately. However, the natural repair process of your own skin continues will to progress and collagen takes time to build so you continue to see improvement for up to three to six months following your final session.
