PRP microneedling uses the same technique as our regular microneedling, but instead of inserting hyaluronic acid into the skin, we use platelets and cytokines from your own blood, such as platelet-derived transforming, insulin-like, and vascular endothelial growth factor.
These growth factors regulate and induce cell migration, nodal proliferation and differentiation, and promote extracellular matrix accumulation.
You may remember the old pictures with the blood smudged faces. These pictures show an older method of applying whole blood to the skin; more recent advances apply only yellow-colored PRP (platelet rich plasma).
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an advanced form of regenerative medicine that is widely used in cosmetic therapy. PRP uses the body's own cells to repair and restore damaged tissue. Plasma contains molecules and proteins that provide nutrients to skin cells, making it a healthy and natural way to enhance the effects of aging.
MicroNeedling can also be combined with PRP injections in various areas, such as under the eyes to treat dark circles, wrinkles and thicken the skin.
PRP is also very effective when combined with dermal fillers such as Restylane, Sculptra, Juvederm, Voluma (and other fillers) to provide what is called a "liquid facelift."
By combining PRP therapy and micro-needling, you can achieve more visible results in less time - in fact, the results are so amazing that the procedure has become one of the most popular skin treatments on the market.
