What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing procedure that improves the tone and texture of the skin, diminishes surface imperfections, and imparts firmness and smoothness to the skin.
Among the many procedures developed in recent years to improve the condition of the skin, increase the production of collagen and elastin, and restore a youthful and firm appearance, microneedling stands out as one of the most effective. Microneedling has earned the respect of both medical practitioners and patients because it produces dramatic, long-lasting results, with continued improvements if the procedure is repeated over time.
Microneedling with PRP or PRF Injections
PRP or PRF injections may also be combined with microneedling to produce more dramatic improvements than a microneedling treatment alone. PRP injections enhance the microneedling treatment by providing the skin with essential proteins and other nutrients derived from the patient’s own blood and plasma.
These treatments produce improved skin tone and texture and are particularly recommended for those with discoloration, rosacea, acne scars, and other conditions involving imperfections that are visible on the surface of the skin.
What Does Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Do?
Essentially, Platelet Rich Plasma and Platelet Rich Fibrin therapy use your blood to help promote healthy activity and regeneration of your skin cells. Human blood consists of red blood cells and serum, which contain our white blood cells and platelets. PRP and PRF are derived from this nutrition-rich serum.
Platelets, being rich in natural growth factors, provide renewed energy to skin cells and stimulate healthy regeneration of skin tissue. This also stimulates the production of such crucial building blocks as collagen and elastin, which support the skin’s natural firmness and thickness, while also providing hydration and antioxidant protection.
