Microneedling And Prp Facial

Microneedling is a fda approved device that is used to rejuvenate the skin surface by reducing fine lines, expression lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne scars. The concept of microneedling is based on the skin's natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical injury. As the micro needling device moves across the skin, it makes pinpoint punctures to create very minor micro-injuries, in response to the perceived an injury,a cascade of growth factors is released, which in turn triggers new collagen synthesis.

This process has two major benefits -

It effectively stimulates collagen formation and provides a clear channel for topical serums to be absorbed through the surface of the skin. By persistently triggering this healing process with a series of micro needling treatments, the body keeps repairing the skin incrementally and cumulatively. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. Once the desired result has been achieved, it is important to maintain collagen stimulation by returning for quarterly maintenance treatments. When doing rejuvapen for acne scars, pore size and anti-aging we recommend 5-8 sessions, each about 4 weeks apart. In the case of surgical scars and stretch marks on the body, usually 8-10 sessions each 5-6 weeks apart are recommended. When micro needling is administered as a part of the prpâ facial, the patients own blood-derived growth factors and platelet rich plasma (prp) are applied during the procedure. Immediately following the procedure the skin will feel tight, dry, swollen, and sensitive to the touch. It will also look and feel sunburned. The sensitivity and redness will diminish significantly within 24 hours. Other common short-term side effects include itching, discomfort, pinpoint bleeding or bruising, scabbing, and darkening of the treated area. Additionally, the skin may look and feel like sandpaper; these effects generally last 2-7 days as the treated skin flakes off and is replaced by new tissue.
