About PRF/PRP with Microneedling

Overview

Microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF/PRP) is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that combines microneedling with applying the patient’s PRF/PRP to enhance skin renewal and healing.

Advantages

Microneedling with PRF/PRP utilizes the patient’s blood-derived PRF/PRP, which consists of platelets, white blood cells, growth factors, and fibrin, to promote wound healing, collagen production, and elastin synthesis. This procedure leads to smoother and firmer skin texture.

Pros
  • Enhanced collagen and elastin production.
  • Continuous release of growth factors without additives.
  • Faster and more natural skin rejuvenation.
  • Minimally invasive with quick recovery time.
Cons
  • Initial redness and swelling post-treatment.
  • Must avoid certain skincare products and activities for 24 hours.
  • Potential for skin dryness and sloughing off in the days following treatment.
  • Not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions or skin issues.
What to Expect

A typical treatment lasts about an hour and includes a review of the procedure, risks, side effects, and post-care instructions. The process involves skin numbing, microneedling, and PRF/PRP application, which can be done in stages or in sections alternating between PRF/PRP and microneedling.

Recovery

Post-treatment, the skin will initially appear red and slightly swollen, then dry and potentially slough off over the next few days. Gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection are essential during this time. Patients should avoid exercise, makeup, and certain medications for the first 24 hours and refrain from harsh skin treatments and anti-inflammatory drugs for the first week.

Results

Patients can expect smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin with a firmer texture. Combining microneedling and PRF/PRP results in enhanced and prolonged skin rejuvenation effects.

Safety Profile

Microneedling with PRF/PRP is considered safe. It utilizes the patient’s own blood-derived PRF/PRP without additives, which minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and promotes natural healing.

Cost

The cost of microneedling with PRF/PRP varies depending on the clinic and the extent of the treatment. Patients should consult with their provider for specific pricing information.
