This treatment harnesses the body’s innate ability to heal, tapping into potent growth factors found within the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in our blood. By triggering the restoration and replenishment of vital substances like collagen and elastin, microneedling delivers remarkable rejuvenation results with lasting anti-aging benefits.

How does Microneedling PRP work?
Microneedling PRP is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation method that encompasses a detailed three-step process, which not only revamps your facial appearance but also accentuates its natural contours.
Here’s how this transformative treatment unfolds:
- Harnessing the Power of Your Blood: Starting with just two teaspoons of your blood, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extracted and refined. This process activates the rich healing attributes inherent in your blood. Once the PRP is singled out, a concoction of eight potent growth factors is sparked, gearing them up for their restorative functions.
- Injecting PRP and Growth Factors: This mixture, brimming with activated growth factors, is then introduced into specific areas of the face. Once inside, they beckon multi-potent stem cells present within facial tissues. These stem cells, in response, promote the formation of fresh collagen, blood vessels, and fatty tissue. The outcome? A rejuvenation process that swaps out tired, aged skin for a fuller, youthful, and naturally radiant appearance.
- Microneedling and HA-Based Fillers: Microneedling complements the body’s inherent ability to rejuvenate, amplifying the therapeutic influence of PRP injections. Moreover, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are adeptly administered into the desired regions, molding facial features that appear younger yet utterly natural. The success of this treatment leans heavily on the proficient application of HA-based fillers, ensuring the face retains its inherent beauty and shape.
Microneedling PRP is a harmonious blend of nature and science, tapping into your body’s healing properties to offer a youthful, glowing complexion.
Does Microneedling PRP hurt?
Microneedling PRP is designed with patient comfort in mind and is generally well-tolerated. Typically completed within an hour during a single office visit, the process begins by drawing a modest quantity of blood. This blood is processed to extract your unique growth factors, known as PRP. After this, the activated PRP, enriched with growth factors, is carefully injected into the target areas. The treatment culminates with the topical application of the PRP using microneedling.
What are the results of Microneedling PRP?
PRP Microneedling is a unique treatment that taps into the inherent regenerative power of your body. While the fantastic rejuvenating effects might not be instantly noticeable, patience pays off as the true transformation reveals itself progressively over the span of two to three months post-treatment.
