Microneedling with PRP combines controlled microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood. Microneedling creates tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin, while PRP is applied to support the skin’s natural healing and renewal process.
Who Can Benefit from Microneedling with PRP?
This treatment may be considered for people looking to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and mild pigmentation. A dermatologist evaluates your skin type, concerns, medical history, and treatment goals before recommending the procedure.
What to Expect During the Treatment
A numbing cream may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. A small blood sample is collected and processed to prepare PRP. The skin is then treated with a microneedling device, followed by application of PRP to the treated area. The procedure is generally performed as an outpatient treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
Temporary redness, mild swelling, sensitivity, or a warm sensation can occur after treatment. These effects typically settle as the skin recovers. Patients should follow their dermatologist’s aftercare instructions, avoid unnecessary sun exposure, and use recommended skincare and sunscreen.
