PRP microneedling combines the power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling, offering a highly effective approach to skin rejuvenation. In this minimally invasive procedure, our dentist and team aim to enhance your skin’s appearance, boost collagen production and accelerate healing for a youthful, refreshed look. The process begins with drawing a small amount of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, growth factors and other healing components. This PRP solution is then applied during the microneedling process, intensifying the skin’s regenerative response.
Once the PRP is ready, we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Using a specialized microneedling device, our dentist creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to collagen and elastin production, which helps rejuvenate and tighten your skin. By adding PRP, this response is amplified, encouraging faster healing, more robust collagen production and enhanced skin rejuvenation.
PRP microneedling can be used to treat various skin concerns on the face and body. This treatment is commonly recommended to:
- Reduce fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles
- Diminish acne scars and other types of scarring
- Improve skin tone, texture and firmness
- Minimize sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Reduce large pores
- Enhance overall skin health and radiance
This versatile treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and can deliver natural-looking, lasting results. While some patients may see improvements after a single session, optimal results are typically achieved with a series of treatments. Dr. Matthew Phillips will assess your skin and recommend the number of sessions needed based on your goals and the specific condition of your skin.
Following PRP microneedling, you may experience mild redness or tenderness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within a day or two. The downtime is minimal, allowing you to return to most daily activities shortly after treatment. Over time, you will notice improvements in the smoothness, elasticity and vibrancy of your skin as the collagen production continues.
