What Is Microneedling with PRP?

Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness offers microneedling, a process that punctures tiny holes in the skin on your face, neck, or torso to stimulate skin repair. As an extra bonus, your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be administered to the same areas to further help tissues heal and permit the skin to grow new cells. These two procedures together can decrease the appearance of wrinkles, scars, brown spots, and other skin issues. The texture of your skin can be significantly enhanced to look smoother without damaging the skin. If you’d like to find out more about microneedling with PRP, schedule a one-on-one consultation with board-certified family nurse practitioner Catherine Curtin in Bronxville or Bridgehampton, NY.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling with PRP?

Microneedling is a popular procedure as it can work to refresh the skin in as little as one session. With the addition of platelet-rich plasma, your outcomes can be even further amplified. A number of our patients at Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness get a variety of advantages from microneedling with PRP, such as:

  • PRP enhances elastin and collagen production down below the skin surface for advanced outcomes
  • Shorter healing time compared to microneedling by itself
  • Results endure for a minimum of a year
  • Treats a variety of concerns at once, including wrinkles and fine lines, skin texture problems, brown spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and more
  • Safe for virtually all types of skin

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Microneedling with PRP?

An ideal candidate for microneedling with PRP is any individual seeking to alter the look or feel of the surface of their face. Uneven skin tone, dry skin, coarse texture, age spots, loose skin, acne, wrinkles, and scarring are skin conditions that could benefit from microneedling with PRP treatment. This procedure may also help combat the effects of sun damage that might have caused the skin to have a rough texture or hyperpigmentation.

How Does Microneedling with PRP Work?

Prior to the microneedling part of your treatment, Catherine will draw your blood for the PRP collection. The drawn blood will then be taken to her laboratory for the separation process during which the stem cells, platelets, and growth factors will be turned into a PRP serum. For your microneedling treatment, Catherine utilizes modern technology to create minuscule holes in your skin. The small needles used will not damage your skin but instead will help stimulate the production of collagen. Once the microneedling is done, the PRP serum will be placed on the skin to sink in. After the PRP is fully absorbed, she’ll remove the serum and cleanse the skin.
