SkinPen with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Ready for more youthful skin? This microneedling device creates micro-channels in the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin for more supple skin.
Adding Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to your SkinPen treatment adds another layer of rejuvenation. PRP supercharges healing and tissue regeneration, enhancing collagen and elastin production in the skin.
PRP uses nutrients from your body to nourish your skin! PRP is obtained through a simple lab draw and then placed in a centrifuge that separates red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma. This concentrated plasma is then applied to the skin during and after the microneedling procedure. Microneedling with PRP is great for treating acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, and uneven skin texture.
What to Expect:
This treatment is safe for all skin types. Each appointment takes about one and a half hours. The patient will numb for approximately one hour, and the SkinPen procedure takes about 30 minutes. Skin will be tight and pink for 1-3 days after treatment. We recommend using gentle products and a mineral sunscreen on the skin for the first 24-48 hours.
Standard treatment includes 1 to 3 sessions spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. If patients are looking to maintain healthy skin, they may treat every 3-4 months.
