About Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling is a process that punctures little holes into the skin on your face, neck, or chest to stimulate skin repair. As an extra benefit, your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be applied to the same area to help tissue heal and enable the skin to grow new cells. These two facial treatments together can lessen the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, large pores, scars, and other skin problems. The texture of your skin could be greatly improved to appear smoother and more even without damaging the skin. If you would like to learn more about the microneedling with PRP treatment, contact us to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Aimee Nguyen.

Ideal Candidates
The perfect candidate for microneedling with PRP would be anybody looking to modify the appearance or texture of the surface of their face. Dry skin, uneven skin tone, harsh texture, age spots, loose skin, wrinkles, acne, and scarring are skin conditions that could benefit from a microneedling with PRP treatment. This therapy can also be employed to combat the effects of sun damage that may have caused the skin to have a rough texture or hyperpigmentation.
Procedure Technique
Prior to the microneedling part of your treatment, someone from our medical staff will draw your blood for the PRP collection. The drawn blood will then be taken to our lab for the separation process where your platelets and growth factors will be made into PRP. For the microneedling treatment, our providers utilize modern technology to create miniscule holes in your skin. The tiny needles used will not damage your skin but will instead help stimulate the production of collagen and transfer the PRP serum into your dermis. Once the microneedling is finished, the PRP serum will be put on the skin to sink in. After the PRP is fully absorbed, we will remove the serum and cleanse your skin.
What to Expect
Following your microneedling with PRP therapy, you might experience some common side effects such as swelling, redness, and bruising. We recommend that you do not wear makeup, use abrasive skin cleansers, or submerge in chlorinated pools for about 72 hours after treatment. Activities such as these may expose your skin to harsh chemicals and bacteria which could lead to adverse reactions. You also ought to intentionally avoid sun exposure or use protective measures when going outside. Final results are generally seen within several weeks as the skin works to repair and heal itself.
