Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a rich and biologically active factor that is responsible for dermal remodeling, stimulation of stem cells, and vascularization. Growth factors delivered with PRP stimulate healing processes accelerate cellular proliferation and rejuvenate soft tissues.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses the patient’s blood to potentially fight the signs of aging.

After blood is drawn from your arm, the medical professional will separate the platelets from the rest of the blood using a centrifuge (a machine that spins quickly to separate fluids of different densities). The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) will be injected along with a hyaluronic acid filler, like Juvederm.

The procedure may:

• reduce wrinkles
• plump skin
• diminish acne scars
• brighten dull skin

It’s safe for people of any age, but if you’re taking a blood thinner, have skin cancer, or have any medical condition related to blood, such as HIV or hepatitis C, Microneedling and PRP isn’t recommended.
