5 Reasons to Consider Microneedling With PRP

Countless skin care treatments promise to rejuvenate your skin, but few check all the boxes, like microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). 

This popular procedure forces potent healing factors into your skin through tiny punctures that channel through your epidermis and reach the deep layers. Microneedling is a tried-and-true method that tackles a long list of skin woes, and we offer it at North Texas Med360 in Frisco, Texas.

Whether you have wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, or other pesky signs of aging and sun damage, microneedling with PRP is the one treatment to rule them all. Here’s why our experienced specialists, Jenine Referente, FNP-C, and Kayla Posada, CLT, recommend microneedling with PRP.

1. Kickstarts collagen 

Collagen, your body’s most abundant protein, gives your skin its strength and suppleness. However, as you age, your natural collagen production wanes, leading to the onset of wrinkles, spots, dryness, sagging,  and other signs of aging. 

Microneedling with PRP addresses all these complexion complaints by triggering your skin’s natural wound-healing response — a flood of fresh collagen. Research shows that PRP improves multiple common skin issues thanks to its concentration of growth factors.

2. Safe and consistent 

One of the most significant advantages of microneedling with PRP is its low risk. 

Because PRP is minimally invasive, it has fewer potential complications than more aggressive treatments, and because it uses your own blood, there’s no possibility of rejection or allergic reaction. 

Microneedling with PRP has very few side effects — usually only minor skin redness and swelling that quickly resolves.

3. Versatile 

Unlike traditional treatments that only target a single symptom, microneedling with PRP is as versatile as it gets in skin care. Whether it’s acne scarring, sun damage, or melasma, this treatment can reduce imperfections and improve your skin texture. 

4. Short recovery time with long-term benefits

One of the more immediate benefits of microneedling with PRP is the short downtime — often just a day or two. 

You may have some redness and slight inflammation, typical of many minimally invasive procedures, but they subside quickly. Over the following weeks, your skin begins to show improvements, with optimal results appearing around six months after treatment, thanks to the ongoing collagen revitalization process.

5. An investment in lifetime skin health

So many skin care treatments are quick fixes with temporary results and big price tags, so it’s refreshing to know that microneedling with PRP is a well-spent investment in your skin’s health, not just its looks.  

We tailor this personalized procedure to your skin’s unique needs, essentially “seeding” your body’s dermal layer with enriched plasma, setting the stage for continued repair and rejuvenation. And because it's your blood, the ethical implications of this practice are nil. You're simply enhancing your body’s existing repair capabilities.
