Microneedling With PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma
Microneedling and PRP
(PRP & Collagen Induction Therapy)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections containing platelets and growth factors can be added to the session for an additional cost which can initiate a healing response and, over time, rejuvenate the skin.
During a standard session, the aesthetic nurse will remove any makeup on your face and apply numbing cream. Once numb use a special roller or device with needles to prick the skin and stimulate new collagen production.
If PRP is performed, a syringe of blood will be drawn, usually from your arm, while your face is numbing. The blood is then put into a centrifuge, which separates the PRP from the blood. The PRP solution is then massaged into the treatment area, either during or after microneedling. The microneedling treatment opens channels into your skin, allowing for good penetration of the PRP.
Once the procedure is finished, a serum or balm is applied to help soothe any redness and irritation. They may also use a portion of the blood drawn known as platelet-poor plasma. You may also have the option to put on tinted sunscreen to camouflage any temporary side effects.
