Microneedling with PRP
About Microneedling with PRP:
Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is designed to address acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, tone, texture and post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
This treatment stimulates your own natural collagen & elastin to repair and rejuvenate the skin.
The Microneedling with PRP treatment is great for all skin types.
How It Works:
Numbing cream is applied to the area being treated.
In the meantime, your blood is drawn, then spun in a centrifuge which isolates the PRP. The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) which contains growth factors and cytokines that aid in cell communication will be applied before and after Microneedling.
Micro-needling is then used to deeply penetrate the dermal layer causing microscopic injuries to the skin while driving in the PRP. This initiates the skin’s repair process while inducing the body’s natural healing, sending collagen and elastin to heal the skin while enhancing its efficacy and reducing signs of aging.
The benefits and healing time of Micro-needling are amplified with PRP.
