When PRP is used with microneedling it penetrates your skin through the tiny channels the needles create, supercharging the microneedling benefits.

Microneedling with PRP is a very safe and effective treatment for adults of all skin types who wish to improve their skin quality and health. The depth of the microneedling device can be adjusted to meet the patient’s individual needs and objectives. Due to its low-risk profile, microneedling with PRP is a good option for people who are not good candidates for lasers, such as those with darker skin types.

You’ll notice an immediate "glow" to your skin and it will continue to improve over the next few weeks. The full results can be seen up to six months post treatment as collagen production continues.

Adding PRP or PRF to your treatment only adds a few more minutes. The initial blood draw adds practically no additional time as it can be done while you wait for your skin to numb prior to treatment. The blood is processed in the centrifuge during your treatment. Whether your plasma is applied as a topical serum or injected, you can expect about ten additional minutes.

You appointment time overall varies depending upon treatment area and the type of treatment you and your practitioner choose.

Since the extracted plasma is autologous—which means it contains substances that come directly from your own body—it is not possible for your system to have an adverse reaction. This is one of the reasons PRP is so exciting and safe for medical, dental, and cosmetic use.

To make your blood as healthy and full of the good stuff as possible, focus on a very healthy diet in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of fluids in the days before treatment, and then over-hydrate in the hours before.

The downtime is minimal with only one to three days of mild redness, depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment. A post-treatment kit will help speed your recovery. You will be asked to stay out of the sun for 24-48 hours following the procedure and avoid washing the treated area until the next day. Some minor bruising and swelling may occur.

The addition of PRP to your treatment can decrease the overall number of treatments needed. Different treatments yield different results, and other variables come into play: the intensity of treatment, your goals, your skin type, your options for downtime, treatment area, and more factors. You and your practitioner will discuss the number of treatments you may need during your initial consultation.

Still, there are many causes of hair loss. While PRP scalp treatments have been proven effective on most types of hair loss, during your free consultation we can determine if this type of procedure is right for your specific causes of hair loss.

After treatment, you may experience a feeling like a sunburn on the treated area for a few hours. This may be treated with ibuprofen (Advil or generic) and/or ice. For a few days, your scalp may be mildly sore and itchy. Strenuous exercise or other exertion should be avoided for 24 hours along with sun exposure on your scalp.

Each patient’s hair regrowth pattern is different. Patients have been known to see new hair growth just five weeks after a treatment with more dramatic results appearing between three to six months.

Washing your hair is recommended the morning of the microneedling and PRP session, or the night before.

You should wait to wash your hair for at least 24 hours. If possible, waiting two to three days before washing is recommended. When you wash your hair, use a shampoo that is free of sulfates and other harsh ingredients. You should also avoid other haircare products such as gel, hair spray, mouse, etc. for a minimum of three days.
