Microneedling & PRF

Collagen and elastin are two of the main proteins in the skin that give it structure and elasticity for a healthy, youthful tone. As we age, collagen production slows down and the skin starts to sag and wrinkle. Microneedling uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production and when combined with PRF injections or topical therapy, you can expect amazing facial rejuvenation! The turnover of new, healthy cells and new collagen replaces dead skin cells on the surface of the skin to improve skin tone, acne scarring, and many other skin conditions.

Your PRF Microneedling Treatment

The PRF microneedling treatment is a two-step procedure. First, you will have your blood drawn in our office and placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Next, the harvested PRF is drawn into syringes for PRF injection in the treatment area or is applied topically. Once the PRF is applied to the skin, your treatment concludes with microneedling to trigger the body’s natural healing response and deliver PRF deeper into the dermal layers of the skin. Topical numbing cream can be applied at the start of your cosmetic procedure to keep you comfortable.

Who Can Benefit from PRF Microneedling?

Almost all men and women in overall good health can benefit from microneedling with PRF. Patients with acne scars or other types of scars are especially benefited from this form of microneedling. Your provider will work with you on an individual basis to determine the best course of treatment for your skin needs and cosmetic goals.

What Can PRF Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling and PRF can effectively reduce the appearance of certain skin concerns by engaging the body’s healing process to stimulate tissue regeneration and overall rejuvenation. PRF microneedling can provide a visible improvement in the following skin conditions:

• Scars
• Stretch marks
• Enlarged pores
• Dark spots
• Fine lines and Wrinkles

Additional benefits of PRF microneedling include its safety and efficacy for all different skin types and skin colors, its versatile treatment options, requires minimal recovery time, and leaves behind no surgical scars.

Results and Recovery

There is minimal downtime required after PRF treatment, but you can expect a few side effects as your skin heals. For the first 3-5 days, your skin will become red and flake, but this can be covered up with makeup if you choose. You will want to avoid excessive sun exposure while your skin heals. Over the next 6 months, collagen and elastin will be regenerated and the new healthy skin cells will give you a more vibrant complexion and smooth skin texture. For optimal results, we recommend multiple treatments (about 4-6) that are scheduled about one month apart.
