Microneedling and Platelet Rich Plasma

Many patients wish for glowing skin like Kim Kardashian, but do not want the downtime or risks associated with lasers, peels, or surgery.

Aesthetic experts are revealing that a combination of microneedling and the patient’s own platelet rich plasma can achieve remarkable results, with minimal recovery.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes very small surgical-grade needles to puncture the skin’s surface.

These injuries initiate a healing process that helps to stimulate collagen and improve the overall tone and texture of the face and body.

In addition to producing a more vibrant and even skin, microneedling can smooth fine lines and wrinkles, decrease hyperpigmentation, and soften acne scars and stretch marks.

Dermatologists Prefer Automated Microneedling Devices

Many top dermatologists perform this treatment with automated microneedling devices like the Collagen P.I.N. or AquaGold, rather than standard dermal rollers.

Several advantages of using a handheld device include the adjustable depth and speed settings, which allow the provider to customize the procedure.

Also, this device is smaller in size than a dermal roller, making it easier to manipulate and precisely treat certain areas of the face and body.

Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Conjunction with Microneedling

Microneedling creates channels that can absorb hyaluronic acid and serums during and after treatment to enhance results. However, patients also have to option to forgo a post-procedure serum in favor of their own platelet rich plasma (PRP).

The process for this combination therapy involves drawing blood from the patient and using a centrifuge to separate out the PRP. The PRP is then injected back into the face immediately after the microneedling treatment.

Addition of PRP to microneedling amplifies the wound healing effect and gives an extra boost to the growth of collagen, elastin fibers, and new blood vessels. Ultimately, PRP allows the skin to regenerate using its own cells.

Results

Patients can require anywhere between three-to-six microneedling session depending on the quality of their skin tone and texture.

Within one-to-two weeks after the initial treatment, skin begins to appear clearer, brighter, and firmer. However, it can take three-to-four weeks to note the treatment’s full effects.
