microneedling With PRP

Pre-Treatment Preparation

• Avoid Certain Products: Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants, and other harsh skincare products a few days before the treatment.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to optimize blood quality for the PRP.
• Sun Exposure: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least a week before your appointment.

During the Treatment

• Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities.
• Blood Draw: A small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm to prepare the PRP.
• PRP Preparation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
• Numbing Cream: A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the microneedling procedure.
• Microneedling Process: A specialized device with fine needles will be used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
• PRP Application: The PRP is applied to the treated areas, allowing it to penetrate the skin through the microchannels created by the microneedling.

Immediately After the Treatment

• Redness and Swelling: Expect some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which can last from a few hours to a couple of days.
• Tightness and Sensitivity: Your skin might feel tight and sensitive to touch.
• PRP Absorption: The PRP will continue to absorb and promote healing in the treated areas.

Post-Treatment Care

• Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated with gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers.
• Avoid Makeup: Refrain from using makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
• Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from UV rays.
• Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-irritating skincare products and avoid active ingredients like retinoids and acids for a few days.

Healing and Results

• Peeling and Flaking: You may experience some peeling or flaking as your skin begins to heal and regenerate.
• Collagen Production: The combination of microneedling and PRP significantly boosts collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and firmness.
• Visible Results: Initial results can be seen within a week, with continued improvement over the next 4-6 weeks.
• Multiple Sessions: For optimal results, multiple sessions (typically 3-6) spaced four weeks apart is recommended.
