PRP Microneedling

Discover a new way to treat stubborn scars, refine skin tone and texture and smooth fine lines. Rejuvapen NXT is a highly customizable microneedling system that provides individual-oriented results. Using a 9, 3, 4 and 5 micro needle tip cartridge, this technology helps improve a variety of skin concerns with just minimal recovery time. Microneedling is an ideal option for those hoping to improve acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines, volume loss and more – without facing lengthy downtime.

We’re proud to offer microneedling paired with your own PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for even more effective results. Utilize growth factors from your own blood for enhanced healing and anti-aging power from the inside out. Using the Rejuvapen system, your PRP is microneedled back into your skin, where it stimulates fresh cell growth and turnover.

How Does PRP Microneedling Work?

Microneedling triggers the skin’s natural healing. By needling damaged skin, treatment helps encourage the body to replace damaged tissue with new cells.

• The Rejuvapen device creates tiny micro channels with fine needles.
• The device offers 3 different treatment depths to customize your microneedling and best address your personal concerns.
• After the skin is injured, it begins replacing damaged tissues with new ones. This also helps create new collagen.
• This healing stimulation is carefully controlled to provide results without causing excessive harm to the skin. No new scarring will be formed – instead, old scars and damaged skin are replaced with healthy skin.
• Additionally, the channels act as ideal vehicles for skincare products, allowing patients to access deeper layers of the skin. This makes the products especially effective as they better penetrate the skin.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma?

Platelet rich plasma is a component of your blood. When you visit the office for PRP microneedling, our physician draws a small amount of your blood. This is spun in a centrifuge, where the PRP is isolated from the other components of your blood. This is then applied to your skin using the Rejuvapen microneedling device. Applying PRP directly to your skin gives treatment even more of an anti-aging impact.

PRP concentrates growth factors in the treatment area to accelerate healing. When applied to your face, this helps speed up the anti-aging results from your microneedling treatment. Because the PRP is from your own blood, it’s also completely safe and there is no risk of side effects.

Typical Microneedling Results

This technology is especially effective on scarring. If you’ve struggled with acne scars or stretch marks, microneedling may help improve their appearance. Since treatment triggers collagen production and new cell growth, microneedling can also improve hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

Many patients find that their skin looks and feels healthier after treatment. But the natural repair process takes anywhere from several weeks to up to 3-6 months to yield full results. Each patient’s collagen growth takes place at a slightly different rate, and results will vary.

PRP Microneedling Treatment Steps – What to Expect

1. Our physician draws a small amount of your blood.
2. The small vial of blood is placed in a centrifuge, where it spins. This separates out the PRP from the other components of your blood.
3. Platelet rich plasma is rich in proteins and other components important to skin growth and healing.
4. The PRP is applied directly into your skin’s surface with the Rejuvapen NXT microneedling pen. Your skin is topically numbed prior to treatment to prevent discomfort. The Rejuvapen NXT offers 3 different depths to customize your treatment and best suit your concerns.
5. In the weeks and months following, the platelet rich plasma stimulates healing and collagen production in the treatment area, providing anti-aging benefits.

Am I A Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is versatile enough that it can typically be used on every skin type. If you have acne scarring, stretch marks, or fine lines, you are likely a candidate. This straightforward treatment offers aesthetic improvements without a significant patient commitment or lengthy downtime. And each treatment is an opportunity to deliver anti-aging topicals to deeper layers of the skin, enhancing your overall results.
