Why is Micro-Needling with PRP so Beneficial?

 

Say bye-bye to scars, fine-lines, and hyperpigmentation! Micro-needling with PRP is made to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. This prompts the skin to induce a healing response and delivers a natural boost of collagen. If you struggle with hyperpigmentation and textured skin, micro-needling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) may be the perfect treatment for you. Micro-needling with PRP will leave you with smooth, youthful, and glowing skin. 

What is micro-needling?

Micro-Needling is a noninvasive procedure that uses sterilized micro-needles to create micro-injuries in this skin. This puncture stimulates natural collagen and elastin production to heal the skin. This process renews and refreshes your skin while also diminishing signs of aging.

Micro-needling can be used to treat problems like:

  • Acne scars

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Sun damage

  • Fine-lines

  • Wrinkles

  • Uneven skin tone

How can you enhance your micro-needling treatment?

You can enhance your micro-needling treatment by combining it with PRP. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Your treatment provider will take a small sample of your blood and then spin it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the platelets. She will then apply the platelet-rich plasma to your skin that's been treated with micro-needles. This is used to speed up the skin rejuvenation process.

Micro-needling vs. Micro-needling with PRP

So what’s the big deal about PRP? PRP is the “secret sauce.” PRP contains a concentrated amount of your own platelets, which contain ‘growth factors responsible for healing wounds and stimulating collagen. Combined with micro-needling it enhances the results, speeds up the healing process, and helps boost cell renewal.

How long does it take to see the results of your micro needling with PRP treatment? 

Although the healing process starts immediately after your micro-needling with PRP treatment, you will see results within three weeks. 

Is there downtime?

You will have redness, dryness, and some skin flaking during the few days of the healing process, but there is no downtime. Most patients fully recover within five days following the micro-needling with PRP treatment. You can leave the office immediately after your appointment. After your treatment, you should wait 4-6 weeks between sessions so your body has enough time to produce new collagen.

It is important to use sunscreen after your micro-needling with PRP treatment. At Artonomi Aesthetics, you can shop SkinBetter SPFs to ensure you are always protected against UV.

Does Micro-Needling hurt?

Micro-needling may sound painful, but in reality, you will only feel slight discomfort. The treatment only takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You may notice some pain on the more “bony” areas of your face such as your forehead. The treatment only takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
