Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that aims to stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a vital skin-strengthening compound.
You first undergo the microneedling procedure, which involves gliding a small, hand-held device across your skin. This device is equipped with tiny needles that puncture your skin to create microchannels in your skin. Your body perceives these channels as wounds and begins a healing response, including a production of new collagen.
The staff at Rejuve Plastic Surgery then applies PRP directly to the skin that’s undergone microneedling. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains natural growth factors and other cytokines that promote the regeneration of soft tissues. PRP further enhances your body’s natural healing process and the creation of collagen.
