MICRONEEDLING SERVICES
Microneedling with PRP combines the benefits of microneedling with the regenerative properties of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, and addressing various skin concerns such as acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, controlled micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. This increases collagen and elastin production, helping to:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Reduce pore size and enhance overall radiance
The treatment is quick, requires minimal downtime, and delivers natural, gradual improvements—revealing fresher, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
About Microneedling
What is it?
Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment leverages the body’s natural healing process and enhances it with the power of your own plasma. PRP contains proteins, including growth factors and cytokines, which aid in skin tissue repair and regeneration. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
How Does it Work?
Microneedling uses a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production. The addition of PRP makes the treatment more effective, as the plasma contains essential growth factors that accelerate the healing process and promote healthier skin.
- Preparation: A blood sample is taken from you, and a centrifuge is used to separate the PRP from the rest of the blood.
- Treatment: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied. During the procedure, your own PRP is applied to the treatment area. You may feel warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin, but the numbing cream minimizes discomfort.
What Should I Expect?
Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
- Immediately After Treatment: Your skin will likely be red and swollen, which can last up to a few days.
- Post-Treatment Care: You can return to your normal routine immediately, but it’s important to avoid sun exposure until your skin heals fully.
