Microneedling With PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is sometimes referred to as “liquid gold” for its restorative properties. Everyone wants radiant, beautiful skin, and PRP gives patients just that. Microneedling with PRP restores and rejuvenates your skin by using your body’s own growth factors to aid in the creation of collagen and elastin, hydrating your skin and evening the texture, brightening the tone, and improving its elasticity.
Microneedling with PRP is a treatment designed to give you the beautiful, radiant skin you want.
What is Microneedling With PRP?
Microneedling is a process wherein your esthetician or board-certified dermatologist uses a device to precisely repair the surface of your face. This controlled injury provided by the microneedling device stimulates your body’s natural growth factors that help in creating new collagen and elastin. When combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the results of your treatment are compounded and your recovery time is decreased.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a special serum that is derived from your blood. When your esthetician or board-certified dermatologist takes a sample of your blood, they will run it through a machine that separates the platelet-poor plasma from the platelet-rich plasma. This process yields a higher concentration of platelets, which, as research has found, encourages growth factors, reparative cell function, and soft tissue healing.
PRP is used in other medical fields, such as orthopaedics, because of its widely-know healing capabilities. Additionally, it is used for other restorative treatments, such as hair loss treatments, and its incredibly effective at diminishing the appearance of acne scars! The restorative and regenerative powers of PRP cannot be underestimated—there’s a reason they call it “liquid gold.”
