Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy.
Microneedling helps with:
- Acne Scars
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin texture and quality
- Stretch marks
- Fine lines and wrinkle
Microneedling With PRP
Also known as the “Vampire Facial”, microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses a patient’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure starts by drawing a patient’s blood. The tube containing the blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma.
The platelet rich plasma is rich in growth factors and other proteins that can then be used to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Growth factors that are derived from other sources are a potent and desirable ingredient in some high-end skin care products.
