PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, on the other hand, uses your body’s own blood to harness growth factors and promote tissue regeneration. During PRP microneedling, PRP is applied to the skin after microneedling, enhancing the skin’s natural healing process and boosting the results.
PRP Microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment that combines two powerful techniques: microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. This synergistic approach is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by stimulating collagen production and harnessing the healing power of your own blood. Microneedling is popular for its ability to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.
The first step in the procedure is a blood draw. A small amount of your blood (typically around 10-20 mL) is collected into a sterile tube. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the other components of your blood, such as red and white blood cells. The PRP is the component rich in growth factors, which helps stimulate skin healing and regeneration. Next, a microneedling device is used to create thousands of tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and encourage collagen production. After the microneedling is done, PRP serum is applied to the treated area. Due to the micro-channels created during microneedling, the PRP is absorbed deeply into the skin, where it can accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and promote skin regeneration.
PRP Microneedling is suitable for most individuals who are looking for skin rejuvenation, but it is particularly beneficial for those who: Have signs of aging: PRP microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity, struggle with acne or acne scars: The treatment can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture, want a natural and non-invasive solution: Since the treatment uses your own blood, it’s an excellent choice for those who prefer non-surgical options, have sun damage or pigmentation issues: The treatment can help reduce the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and uneven pigmentation, want smoother, brighter skin: If you’re seeking general skin improvement in terms of texture and radiance, PRP microneedling is a great option.
The combination of microneedling and PRP boosts your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin. PRP microneedling can improve skin tone and texture, making the skin appear smoother, brighter, and more even. It is particularly effective for dull, uneven skin tone or textural issues. By stimulating collagen production, PRP microneedling helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a plumper, more youthful appearance. Since the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or side effects is minimal. It is also a natural treatment that promotes healing and rejuvenation without synthetic chemicals or foreign substances.
The healing process begins immediately, as the skin starts to repair itself and regenerate new, healthier skin cells. Over time, you’ll notice improvements in texture, tone, and the reduction of fine lines, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. The effects of PRP microneedling typically become visible after 3-4 weeks, as collagen production increases, with full results taking up to 3-6 months to fully manifest. Depending on your skin goals, you may need a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results.
After the treatment, your skin may be slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually lasts for a few hours to a day. Your practitioner will provide aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure, not using makeup for a day or two, and moisturizing the skin.
The cost of PRP microneedling can vary depending on the area being treated. Starting cost is $499.
