Definition: Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) combines the benefits of microneedling with the potential healing and regenerative properties of PRP. PRP is a concentration of a patient’s own platelets, obtained from a blood draw. Platelets contain growth factors and other healing molecules that may enhance the skin’s rejuvenation process after microneedling.

Pros (Potential): Combines the benefits of microneedling (collagen stimulation) with PRP’s potential for enhanced healing, tissue regeneration, and improved skin quality.

Cons (Potential): Requires blood draw, limited research on long-term effects, may not be suitable for everyone, potentially more expensive than microneedling alone.

Alternatives: Microneedling alone, other injectable treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers, laser resurfacing (more aggressive option).

Recovery Time: Varies depending on the needle depth used, but may experience slightly more redness or swelling compared to microneedling alone due to the PRP injection.

Disclaimer: Microneedling with PRP is a medical procedure and should only be performed by a qualified healthcare professional.
