Microneedling and PRP What is PRP with Microneedling? Microneedling employs a special tool containing multiple precisely spaced microneedles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations in the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis. As it moves across the skin, the needles create tiny holes, prompting the skin to shift its natural repair mechanism and start producing collagen and elastin to repair the skin. The self-repairing property is an entirely natural form of skin renewal. Microneedling will enhance the absorption of PRP. Pair microneedling with PRP and see impressive results from your treatment. What is PRP? Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is a non-surgical treatment that uses the healing properties of your own platelets to create new collagen. Platelets and plasma are components of the blood that are extracted from a blood sample by placing in a centrifuge, which works on separating the platelets and the plasma out of the blood. The growth factors are then used to stimulate stem cells that are present in the skin, thereby generating new and younger-looking skin. These new stimulated cells increase collagen production. What are PRP’s most popular uses? Improving skin texture Adding volume to the face, neck and hands Plumping up under eye grooves Minimizing wrinkles and lines Improving scars from acne and chicken pox Brightening skin Diminishing pore size How many treatments will I need? A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is ideal for optimal results. Conditions like deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging and scarring may need 6-12 treatments. When will you see the results with PRP and Microneedling? Expect your skin to be red for a few days, but you may start to wear make-up the following day. You will begin to see a noticeable change within a few weeks, and collagen will continue to grow. Clients will see optimal results in as little as 12 weeks. Can you inject PRP? Yes, PRP can be injected back into the skin for facial rejuvenation. A release of growth factors from the platelets activates cell growth and collagen production, skin elasticity is improved and the ability to obtain moisture is restored. PRP is sometime referred in the media as the “Vampire Facelift”. You will start to see results in about 1 month with full results in 3 months. It is recommended for you to get 2-3 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for you to see full effects. For deep lines and scars you will need 4-6 treatments. Results can be maintained with 1-2 treatments a year. Benefits of PRP? PRP treatment is 100% natural, and it does not have the risk associated with more invasive cosmetic procedures. It does not cause allergic reactions, and most of our clients don’t experience noticeable swelling or bruising. Clients also experience minimum downtime.
