Microneedling with Enhanced Natural Benefits

 

PRP microneedling combines the microneedling technique with the impressive healing properties of your own blood cells. By delivering platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the skin via microneedling, patients achieve dramatic improvements in skin health and appearance in a shorter typical recovery period.

Growth factors in the blood can accelerate the healing process, while microneedling stimulates collagen production to lift and tighten the skin. Combined, PRP microneedling is a powerful solution for addressing a range of cosmetic and age-related skin concerns. Plus, PRP is a natural treatment option that is safe for all patients.

Downtime is minimal, and patients are able to return to using makeup and their usual activities within 24 hours of treatment.

Results

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is Microneedling with PRP Better?

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution to skincare, generally, microneedling with PRP offers patients an accelerated recovery and even improved results over microneedling treatments alone. This means that PRP microneedling may be best suited for patients who are looking for a cosmetic treatment with minimal downtime.

Is PRP Microneedling Painful?

PRP microneedling is comparable to traditional microneedling when it comes to the comfort level of treatment. It also involves the process of collecting a syringe of blood for treatment, which is not a painful process. Furthermore, we typically use a topical anesthetic prior to the microneedling process, which will numb the skin and minimize any discomfort that may arise during the treatment. With these provisions, many patients find the PRP microneedling procedure to be quite tolerable.

How Many PRP Microneedling Treatments Are Needed?

Most patients need at least three PRP microneedling treatments to achieve optimal results. While you will begin to notice results after just one or two treatment sessions, additional treatments will maximize your results and continue to build on your progress. However, we will determine a personalized treatment plan for each patient that may require more or less treatments based on their skincare needs.
