What is PRP Microneedling Facial?

A PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Microneedling Facial is a cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with the application of the patient's own platelet-rich plasma. While PRP, which is made from the patient's blood, is rich with growth factors that support skin repair and rejuvenation, microneedling causes tiny injuries in the skin. This combination is well-liked for face rejuvenation because it improves skin texture and collagen production.

Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Microneedling Facial?

A PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Microneedling Facial is well-suited for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation and improvement in various skin concerns. Good candidates include those with:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other types of scars
  • Uneven skin texture and tone
  • Large pores
  • Hyperpigmentation or melasma
  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Loss of skin elasticity and firmness

How Does PRP Microneedling Facial Work?

Initially, a tiny volume of the patient's blood is drawn. The PRP, which is abundant in growth factors, is subsequently extracted from the blood by processing. Fine needles are used to carefully inflict tiny surface wounds on the skin during microneedling. When PRP is given topically, it enters the microchannels and promotes the formation of collagen, skin healing, and skin renewal. This results in improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and a more youthful complexion, with PRP accelerating the healing process and promoting natural skin regeneration.

The PRP Microneedling Procedure

A tiny sample of the patient's blood is drawn during the PRP Microneedling Facial procedure in order to obtain Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

Next, controlled micro-injuries are made to the skin using a microneedling device. With little downtime, the process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and several sessions are frequently advised for best outcomes.
