How Microneedling and PRP Rejuvenate Aging Skin?

Aging skin can show a variety of signs, from fine lines and wrinkles to uneven texture and pigmentation. To combat these signs, many people are turning to minimally invasive treatments like microneedling combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Dr. Tenley Lawton offers this advanced combination, using SkinPen® for microneedling to help restore youthful, radiant skin. 

How Does PRP Work With Microneedling?

Microneedling involves the use of tiny, controlled needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and improving the skin’s texture. When combined with PRP, the benefits are amplified. PRP, which is derived from the patient’s own blood, is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and tissue regeneration.

When PRP is applied to the skin during or after microneedling, it is absorbed into the deeper layers, promoting enhanced healing and collagen production. This combination creates a synergistic effect, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

How Microneedling and PRP Rejuvenate Aging Skin

As we age, the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin slows down, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and dullness. Microneedling with PRP addresses these issues by stimulating collagen production in the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries that prompt the body to heal, while the PRP provides essential growth factors to speed up the repair process.

This treatment not only helps to tighten and firm the skin but also enhances overall skin texture, making it look more vibrant and youthful. PRP is especially beneficial for areas where the skin is thinner and more prone to aging signs, such as under the eyes or around the mouth.

What Can Microneedling With PRP Treat?

Microneedling with PRP can address a variety of skin concerns related to aging. These include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Stretch marks
  • Scarring, including acne scars

The treatment is versatile and can be performed on various areas of the face and body, making it an effective solution for multiple skin concerns.

Is There Any Downtime After Microneedling With PRP?

One of the reasons why microneedling with PRP is so popular is that it has minimal downtime. After the procedure, you may experience some redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. You may also notice some dryness and flakiness as your skin begins to heal, but this is a natural part of the process.

Most people can return to their normal activities the same day or the next day. Dr. Lawton will provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling With PRP?

Microneedling with PRP is a safe and effective treatment for many individuals, especially those who are looking for a non-surgical solution to aging skin. It is ideal for people with fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture, as well as those with scarring or stretch marks.

However, it is important to have a consultation with Dr. Lawton to determine if this treatment is right for you. People with certain skin conditions, such as active acne or rosacea, may not be ideal candidates for microneedling with PRP.
