At Star Plastic Surgery, we offer the powerful combination of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and microneedling to rejuvenate your skin, stimulate collagen production, and promote natural healing. This innovative treatment addresses a variety of skin concerns, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
What Is PRP with Microneedling?
PRP with microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that enhances the benefits of traditional microneedling by incorporating your body’s natural healing abilities through platelet-rich plasma. Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin using tiny, sterilized needles, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin – essential components for youthful, healthy skin. PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors and helps accelerate healing and enhance results by rejuvenating the skin at a deeper level.
The PRP and Microneedling Process: How It Works
- Blood Collection: The process begins by drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The PRP is highly concentrated with growth factors that boost healing and tissue regeneration.
- Microneedling Treatment: A microneedling device is then used to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the treatment area. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, which are vital for youthful skin.
- PRP Application: Once the microneedling is complete, the PRP is applied to the skin. The microchannels created by the microneedling allow the PRP to penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing the healing process and maximizing the benefits of the treatment.
Benefits of PRP with Microneedling
This combination therapy offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance naturally:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Microneedling with PRP promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to firm and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves Skin Texture: It smooths uneven skin texture, minimizing the appearance of scars, large pores, and rough patches.
- Reduces Acne Scars: This treatment is particularly effective in improving the appearance of acne scars by encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
- Diminishes Hyperpigmentation: PRP with microneedling can help even out skin tone and reduce areas of hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
- Enhances Skin Elasticity: By boosting collagen and elastin, the treatment improves skin elasticity, making it firmer and more youthful-looking.
- Minimal Downtime: This minimally invasive procedure requires little to no downtime. Most patients can return to their normal routine shortly after treatment, with only mild redness and slight sensitivity lasting a day or two.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
- During Treatment: The procedure typically takes about 60 minutes, and a topical numbing cream is applied before microneedling to ensure your comfort.
- After Treatment: You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, for a day or two. Results from PRP with microneedling continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
For the best results, a series of treatments may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Our experienced team will work with you to create a personalized plan that fits your skin goals.
PRP and Microneedling for Hair Restoration
In addition to facial rejuvenation, PRP with microneedling is also a powerful solution for hair restoration. By stimulating dormant hair follicles, this treatment can encourage natural hair growth in areas affected by thinning or hair loss.
