Microneedling with PRP

Nearly all parts of the body may be treated with microneedling, including the face, neck, decolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

Many patients often see an immediate “glow” to the skin, but results continue to improve for 6 months after treatment.

The results of microneedling may last about three to five months, depending on the patient.

Microneedling combined with PRP is more effective than when microneedling or PRP are used alone. Although both treatments are effective individually, their combination provides maximum absorption, reduced healing time, and optimal results.

Be sure to schedule a follow-up for 2-3 weeks after your appointment.
