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.
