Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP is a procedure that is ideal for the renewing or rejuvenation of aging skin. This procedure is also famously known as the vampire facial. PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma. The procedure involves a dermatology nurse drawing your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate its platelet rich plasma. The plasma is then injected back into the skin with a microneedling device, allowing the plasma to penetrate deep into the skin.
PRP has long been used to help speed recovery from injuries. PRP has been used in surgeries, and to promote cell regeneration in arthritis patients since 1987. It has regenerative properties that are quite useful in helping the skin to heal, allowing for increased collagen production. The final result is typically youthful looking skin. Collagen is essential for keeping the skin elastic, plump, and firm. The PRP in every treatment is formed from the patient’s own blood. This means that you do not need to worry about an allergic reaction. Platelet rich plasma can be used as a topical solution to help with any number of skin issues.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a popular, non-invasive, skin resurfacing procedure in which tiny needles puncture the skin surface. This process creates tiny channels that allow skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin. Combining microneedling with PRP reveals luminous, plumped skin, making it a popular cosmetic choice for patients who want to reveal their natural beauty without undergoing surgery. Microneedling with PRP helps to correct skin issues such as age spots, fine lines, acne scars and more.
Is it right for you?
Microneedling with PRP is an ideal combination and treatments require little or no downtime. Typically, you can expect some swelling and redness, but it usually subsides within a few hours up to a few days, depending on the individual. Depending on your skin condition or you overall goals for results, more than one treatment may be recommended. This can be determined during your initial consultation with a Charlotte board-certified dermatologist. If you are concerned about age spots, fine lines, acne scars, or prematurely aged skin, schedule a consultation to determine if Microneedling with PRP is a good solution for your skin issues.
