MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP/PRF
A multipurpose treatment that uses your skin’s natural healing abilities, combined with the power of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
THE FACIAL OF VAMPIRES
ABOUT MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP/PRF
Microneedling with PRP or PRF is a treatment option for patients interested in the rejuvenating properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). It is a minimally invasive treatment that can boost skin cell renewal and initiate collagen and elastin production to help improve a wide variety of skin concerns.
WHAT IT IS
The process creates thousands of tiny channels in your skin to allow your growth factors to reach a deeper layer of your skin where cell growth occurs. This procedure has numerous benefits but is most commonly used to create a smoother texture of the skin, reduce pore size, and reduce any scarring that is present but does not affect the volume of the face.
HOW IT WORKS
When you come in for your appointment, a numbing cream will be applied and allowed to absorb before the procedure. One of our clinicians will then draw a small sample of blood and place it in our centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood.
After the numbing cream has been allowed to set in, your clinician will remove it and apply a small amount of your PRP or PRF to your face. As the microneedling device is passed over the treatment area, it creates tiny micro channels, allowing the PRP/PRF to be absorbed deep within the skin to initiate new skin cell production and boost collagen.
