Microneedling with PRP in McKinney, TX is an extremely popular skin treatment that improves pore size, fine lines, and acne that needs to be controlled. It is also a collagen stimulating treatment that will continue to work in the weeks after your appointment.
This highly effective procedure combines microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) infusion. This means that a device made of superfine needles will be rolled over the skin while platelets are simultaneously applied. The platelets used in the treatment will come from your very own blood. They are incredible for the skin because they contain many growth factors, including epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and epithelial growth factor.
Once the needles cause mini-trauma to the skin, beautiful new skin begins to develop. The body starts to heal itself from the small punctures. This means that new collagen begins to form — and along with this, the incredible regenerative abilities of the growth factors means that your skin gets a huge makeover. It will look younger, more evened out, and your overall clarity will be glowing and radiant.
When you arrive for your microneedling with PRP treatment in McKinney, and serving North Dallas (including Frisco, Allen, and Plano areas), your skin will be numbed and a small tube of blood will be drawn from your arm. This blood will be placed into a centrifuge, which will spin out the red and white blood cells and separate the platelets. The platelet gel will be extracted and put into a syringe so that it can be put on drop by drop as the micro needles go over the skin.
The level of discomfort will range according to the intensity of the treatment and each individual’s pain threshold. Some patients say the needles feel “tickly,” and others compare it to the feeling of getting a tattoo or having windburn.
Microneedling with PRP in McKinney, TX is an effective treatment for those with both fair and dark skin, as well as individuals who have previously treated skin by various procedures. When you come to BeauxMD for your consultation, we will determine if microneedling with PRP is right for you and your goals.
Patients who have a microneedling with PRP treatment should expect the treated area to be red, flaky, dry, and a bit scabby for 1-3 days. Some patients like to take these days off of work or school due to the appearance of their skin.
After about a week, your brand new, beautiful skin will be revealed. The treated area will be glowing, healthy, and radiant. If you wear makeup, you will notice that it goes on much more easily. The improvement of the skin will also keep progressing over the following weeks as the collagen continues to work.
After your microneedling with PRP, do not wash your face for the rest of the day. In order to allow the skin to heal and to prevent irritation, do not apply any makeup. Because of the platelet gel, the skin will feel very tight, and you may see what looks like lines in your skin. (These are temporary.)
Apply hyaluronic acid the next day and evening, and stay out of direct sunlight for a week.
