Microneedling & PRP

Microneedling & PRP Description

Microneedling (also referred to as collagen induction therapy) is a comprehensive skin care treatment to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin. During microneedling, tiny holes are made in the skin using the state-of-the-art COSMOPen device. Your body responds to these small punctures by repairing the treatment area and encouraging the production of subsurface collagen fibers. These fibers improve the structure and elasticity of your skin, resulting in a smoother, younger-looking appearance. Platelet rich plasma injections are used alongside your micro needling procedure for optimal healing. PRP injections can initiate your body’s natural healing processes for more efficient results. Patients can target fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scarring of the face with microneedling treatment for a more youthful-looking appearance. Additionally, micro needling and PRP can reduce the appearance of stretch marks found around the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and legs. Microneedling with PRP for stretch marks can be especially effective for women who have developed stretch marks around the lower body post-pregnancy.

Microneedling & PRP Procedure

Microneedling treatments can be completed in less than 1 hour. During your procedure, the COSMOPen device will be applied around the target area, creating microscopic punctures in the skin. Platelet rich plasma injections are also utilized in conjunction with micro needling. During your PRP treatment, a blood sample is taken and your blood is carefully separated into its different components. The platelet rich plasma found in your blood is isolated and then injected into the area where microneedling was performed. The benefits are twofold: micro needling can help with your body’s absorption of PRP injections, while platelet rich plasma treatment can stimulate healing and aid in the production of new collagen fibers after microneedling. Your doctor will suggest a series of microneedling treatments ranging from 3-5 sessions. Micro needling results in minimal downtime and patients can typically resume their daily activities within a few days.
