Microneedling combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote a youthful glow. The addition of PRP enhances healing and regenerative effects, supporting natural rejuvenation. Treatments are customized, safe, and require minimal downtime, delivering long-lasting, refreshed results.
Microneedling is an effective treatment that uses tiny needles to boost collagen production, rejuvenate the skin, and treat a variety of specific concerns. Combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) adds your blood platelets to the procedure, accelerating the repair process and enhancing your results.
Our experienced practitioners at Spa26 offer microneedling alone and in combination with PRP, depending on each patient’s specific needs and goals. This minimally-invasive procedure reduces skin imperfections like fine lines and shallow scarring while giving your skin a healthy glow.
Microneedling uses fine needles that create micro-channels in the skin, prompting the body to produce more collagen. Collagen is an essential protein that gives skin its smooth texture, but levels begin to decline as early as our 20s. As collagen levels decrease, the skin becomes loose, while fine lines and wrinkles form. By restoring collagen levels, we can effectively reduce early aging signs and enhance the skin’s overall appearance.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) consists of two vital elements in the patient’s blood, extracted during a routine blood draw. PRP has a high concentration of growth factors, which promotes healing when delivered into the dermal tissue. Growth factors boost the effects of microneedling, further increasing collagen production and creating a more dramatic improvement in the skin.
When we apply PRP to the skin after microneedling, the channels created by the needles allow the PRP to advance further into the dermal layers, where it can deliver the most significant effect. The synergistic nature of the two treatments performed together ensures that patients receive the most optimal benefits.
Microneedling, with or without PRP, has become a go-to treatment for numerous celebrities for good reason. This minimally-invasive procedure targets numerous skin concerns without significant downtime. While your skin may look better soon after your treatment, it will continue to improve in the following weeks as collagen levels continue to rise. Patients can enjoy the positive changes for 4-6 weeks before results become fully apparent.
Once patients see the full results of their microneedling treatment, those improvements should last 3-5 months. You can make the most of your treatment with daily sun protection and medical-grade skincare. By scheduling treatments two or three times a year, our patients can also maintain their positive results indefinitely.
The cost of microneedling can vary based on factors like location, the experience of your provider, and the number of treatment sessions needed to produce optimal results. Combining microneedling with PRP will increase treatment costs.
