Smooth, glowing skin: amplify your micro needling results with PRP

Microneedling is a procedure that has been used for many years to help soften, firm, and tone skin that has lost its youthful radiance. Now, patients in the Orchard Park, New York area, can amplify the already amazing results that micro-needling provides by combining it with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a natural treatment that harnesses your body’s own healing and regenerative powers.

Platelet-rich plasma explained

“Platelet-rich plasma” may sound like it is something that came out of a science fiction novel, but it is actually a completely natural treatment that is produced from a simple blood draw, similar to what you’d get done during an annual physical exam at your doctor. The blood is spun incredibly fast on a centrifuge machine, which helps separate the healing platelets and growth factors from the rest of the blood. The PRP can then be used in a variety of applications, including microneedling, to encourage collagen and elastin production and youthful skin regeneration. The end result is a more glowing complexion that will leave others guessing about your beauty secrets! 

Benefits of microneedling with PRP 

Microneedling with PRP is so effective at rejuvenating your skin’s appearance because it combines two effective techniques for skin regeneration into one treatment. Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny “micro-injuries” in the skin, which stimulates your body’s healing processes and results in softer, smoother, tighter, and more evenly toned skin. When it is combined with PRP, these effects are greatly amplified because PRP is full of rejuvenating factors is placed directly into the epidermis and dermis. This treatment is a great option for patients who are seeking:

• Brighter, more even skin tone
• Smooth skin with reduced lines and wrinkles
• Thicker, more elastic skin
• Softer skin
• Smaller pores
• Overall revitalization
• Minimizing the appearance of scars
• Fading areas of hyperpigmentation or discoloration
