Microneedling with Platelet-rich Plasma

The Basics

Minimally invasive procedure that uses a mechanical pen attached to tiny acupuncture-sized needles to create micro-channels, triggering a healing response to stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in renewed skin that soften and improves lines, scars, stretch marks, pores, and wrinkles. With the injection and infusion of platelet-derived growth factors (PRP) in combination with the micro-injuries created by microneedling, the healing and regenerative properties of your plasma provides more effective results to boost collagen production for volume loss or deep scars. This treatment is a great alternative to dermal fillers and laser resurfacing.

What to Expect

• Pinpoint bleeding is expected and wanted since this releases growth factors and nutrients to jump-start the healing process.
• After the treatment, the skin feels almost like a sunburn – red, minimally swollen, and somewhat tingly, which persists for 3 days after treatment.
• Tiny coffee ground or speckled bruises, redness, and bruising lasts 2-7 days.

Our Recommendations

• Avoid applying makeup the day of the treatment.
• Avoid strenuous activity or alcohol for the next 24 hours.
• Avoid getting a facial or massage the day of the procedure.
• Don’t forget to apply sunscreen every day and reapply every 2 hours.
• Once the skin is back to normal after 3-7 days, resume your regular skin care routine.
