Say Goodbye To Acne Scars, Wrinkles, Hair Loss

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling initiates the skin’s healing response by causing micro-injuries in a targeted way. The resulting micro-channels stimulate the skin to heal – promoting new collagen and blood vessel formation and triggering your immune system to remodel the scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.

What Is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from the patient’s blood. Platelets help blood to clot, and are therefore vital for healing wounds and injuries. PRP is full of growth factors that aid in tissue repair, promote cell growth, and encourage new collagen production.

During the microneedling with PRP treatment, platelets are first separated by spinning the patient’s blood in a centrifuge, leaving the “liquid gold” plasma, which has healing properties. A board-certified dermatologist then applies the patient’s PRP topically before microneedling the skin using SkinPen®, the only FDA-approved tool on the market. PRP is then applied again after treatment to remain on the skin for about four hours. 

Who Is a Good Candidate For Microneedling?

Microneedling works on women and men, every skin tone, and requires only a minimal recovery time of about 3-5 days. It is ideal for patients who want to improve skin texture, sun damage, tone, pore size, acne scarring, surgical scarring, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles.

Microneedling With PRP Benefits:

  • Improves skin quality and texture
  • Reduces hyper-pigmentation and evens skin tone
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, including smoker’s lines 
  • Reduces surgical scars and acne scars
  • Reduces black heads, pore size, and sebum (oil) production
  • Improves sun-damaged skin
  • Improves stretch marks

Why Is PRP Good For Hair Loss?

PRP for hair loss is a natural way to boost your hair follicle growth. By injecting your own plasma into your scalp, we can stimulate new and thicker hair growth in areas where hair is thinning.

Traditional hair loss treatments, such as hair transplants, can reverse hair loss, but the procedure is invasive, expensive, requires extensive recovery time and leaves visible scars. PRP for hair loss has virtually no side effects.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRP for hair loss works best in patients who have experienced hair loss recently, have a diagnosis of Telogen effluvium or androgenic/hormonal hair loss, and those who still have hair follicles.

How Much Does PRP Cost?

Prices vary depending on the practice, but a common price is $800 for one session of PRP treatment, and discounts are usually offered when purchased in a package, so a 3-session bundle may cost around $2,100.
