Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device called Skin Pen. This pen-like device is equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural wound healing process, leading to the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining youthful, smooth, and firm skin.

Here's what microneedling at Longevity Med Spa is like: 

Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation with one of our skincare experts will discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and expectations are discussed to determine if microneedling with PRP is suitable for you.

Preparation: On the day of the procedure, your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.

Microneedling: The microneedling device is then gently passed over the skin, creating tiny punctures or channels in the epidermis and dermis layers. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin.

PRP Application: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared by drawing a small amount of your own blood and centrifuging it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is rich in growth factors and other healing proteins. The PRP is then applied to the treated areas of the skin, where it penetrates through the micro-channels created by the microneedling device, further enhancing the skin rejuvenation process.

Recovery: After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours to a few days, depending on the individual's skin sensitivity and the intensity of the treatment. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and adhere to post-procedure skincare recommendations provided by their provider.

Now, let's discuss the benefits of microneedling with PRP:

Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling with PRP promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. It helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

Enhanced Skin Tone and Elasticity: By stimulating collagen production, this procedure helps improve skin tone and elasticity, leading to a more radiant and rejuvenated complexion.

Reduced Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling with PRP can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including sun spots, age spots, and melasma, by promoting cellular turnover and skin renewal.

Minimized Pore Size: The micro-injuries created during microneedling can help tighten enlarged pores, leading to a smoother skin texture and a more refined appearance.

Natural-Looking Results: Since microneedling with PRP harnesses the body's own healing mechanisms, the results are natural-looking and gradual, with continued improvement over time.
