MICRONEEDLING AND PRP

Microneedling

Microneedling is a very simple, safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapy for skin rejuvenation, resurfacing, scarring, stretch marks, and more. SkinPen® Microneedling can also deliver PRP into the skin to further enhance skin rejuvenation and collagen production. 

How many treatments are recommended for best results?

One treatment will yield results, most medical studies are using 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to show results.  

Does the procedure hurt?

Mild, numbing cream with lidocaine is applied for 10-20 minutes prior-to the procedure so that you are comfortable.  

Recovery time? 

We recommend abstaining from social engagements day-of the procedure due to redness of skin.

PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy uses your own blood, that has been concentrated down into the active platelets, growth factors, and stem cells.  This concentrated liquid has been shown to regenerate and rejuvenate the skin.  It improves skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles, neck, décolletage, and back of hands.  Collagen, which gives your skin a plump and young look is produced, as are new vessels which bring blood flow and nutrients to the area.  When we are treating hair loss, PRP stimulates the hair follicles to become active.  Because this is from your own body, it is non allergenic and eliminates possibility of donor transmissible infections. This is a science based, simple and quick procedure with no downtime and minimal rate of adverse events. PRP can be used for facial micro needling as well and hair restoration 

What to Expect with PRP

Pre-Treatment Recommendations 

– Drink plenty of fluids the day before and the day of your procedure.  If you are dehydrated, it is harder to draw your blood and you will not have as much plasma. 

– Avoid blood thinning agents such as ibuprofen, Aleve, naproxen, and aspirin for 7 days prior to your procedure.  It’s okay to take tylenol (acetaminophen) because this does not thin your blood and increase bruising risk. Don’t stop any prescribed medication unless consulting with your physician.  

– Please stop herbal blood thinning supplements for 7 days prior including St. John’s Wort, garlic, vitamin E, ginkgo, fish oil, etc. 

– Don’t dye your hair for the 24 hours prior to your PRP hair growth treatment.

At Your Appointment:

We begin with discussing our goals and by taking pictures to help us visualize the results and track our progress. We then perform a blood draw of 1-2 tubes  from the arm, and then we generously numb the skin of the face and neck. The blood is then entered into the centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the whole blood.

Aftercare

– Avoid blood thinning agents above for the day of your procedure.

– You can ice or take tylenol with any discomfort.

– It is fine to shampoo your hair gently the same day as your PRP hair growth treatment. 

– Do not dye your hair for 24 hours 

– Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, Aleve, naproxen, aspirin) the day of your procedure

– If you experience discomfort, you can use ice or take Tylenol

– It is fine to shampoo the hair gently the same day as your procedure. Do not dye your hair for 24 hours.

– It’s normal to have tenderness for up to 72 hours.  

– You may notice some bruising in the areas injected and this is normal and will resolve in 1-2 weeks.
