Microneedling can transform your skin, creating a smooth, bright, youthful look. Now imagine boosting those results with the power of your own platelets. Here’s how enhancing your treatment with biologics like PRP takes rejuvenation to the next level.
Are the effects of time, sun damage, and daily stressors stealing your radiance? What if you could encourage your skin to naturally renew itself for a visibly smoother, more youthful appearance?
Achieve your aesthetic goals with expert advice and care from The Beauty Medics, led by Syed Bokhari, MD. We offer advanced cosmetic treatments that tap into your body’s natural healing abilities to rejuvenate the skin — and one example is microneedling enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
Are you curious how these two treatments work together to deliver such impressive results? Here, we explore the miracles of microneedling with PRP and PRF.
The foundation: How microneedling works
Microneedling encourages skin renewal by creating tiny, controlled wounds on its surface with fine needles. These micro-wounds trigger your body to produce more collagen and elastin — essential proteins for skin firmness and elasticity.
As the skin repairs these micro-injuries, the overall texture and tone improves, fine lines become less noticeable, and the appearance of scars can fade.
At The Beauty Medics, we offer both SkinPen® microneedling treatments and Morpheus8 radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. This advanced technology combines microneedling with the added power of RF energy, delivering heat deeper into the skin to further enhance collagen production and address concerns like skin laxity and deep wrinkles.
Enhancing your microneedling treatment with biologics
PRP is a concentrated serum derived from a small sample of your blood. It’s rich in platelets, which are packed with growth factors — the body’s natural messengers that signal cells to repair and regenerate.
When we apply PRP to the punctures created by microneedling, it floods the treatment area with these potent growth factors, supercharging the healing process and stimulating even more collagen and elastin production.
Like PRP, we obtain PRF from a blood sample, but we process the blood in a way that preserves more of the beneficial components, including white blood cells, stem cells, and fibrin.
Fibrin forms a natural, supportive matrix within the treatment area, holding the growth factors in place and allowing them to release slowly over a longer period. The sustained release of growth factors further enhances tissue regeneration, leading to longer-lasting rejuvenation than traditional PRP.
Whether you choose PRP or PRF to complement your microneedling treatment, you’re providing your skin with a powerful, personalized boost of natural regenerative factors to:
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Fade and smooth scarring
- Promote firmer, more resilient skin
- Shrink the appearance of pores
- Balance skin tone and fade dark spots or melasma
When applied to the scalp, PRP and PRF can also help restore thicker, fuller hair growth.
You may see positive changes after just one session, but optimal results typically involve a series of treatments. Our team works with you to create a personalized plan to address your specific skin concerns and cosmetic goals.
