Microneedling with PRP in Houston, TX

Advanced Dermatology offers microneedling, a skin rejuvenation treatment that punctures tiny holes with our SkinPen technology into the skin on your face, neck, or chest to stimulate skin repair. As an added benefit, your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then applied to the same area to further heal and allow the skin to grow new cells. These two treatments together can reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, fine lines, spots, and other skin issues. The texture of your skin can be greatly improved to appear smoother and more even without damaging the skin. If you would like to learn more about the microneedling with PRP treatment, schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our practitioners at Advanced Dermatology in Katy, League City, Pearland, or Sugar Land, TX.

Microneedling is a popular option since it could help enhance the complexion in just one appointment. Through the incorporation of PRP, your improvements could be even further amplified. A number of patients at Advanced Dermatology get a variety of benefits from microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, including:

• Shorter recovery period than with microneedling alone
• Outcomes persist for a year or more
• Suitable for the majority of skin types
• PRP boosts collagen and elastin production deep within the skin for advanced results
• Targets a number of concerns simultaneously, including fine lines and wrinkles, skin feel problems, dark spots, uneven skin color, acne scars, large pores, and others

A perfect candidate for microneedling with PRP would be anyone looking to change the appearance or texture of the surface of their face. Dry skin, uneven skin tone, rough texture, age spots, loose skin, wrinkles, acne, and scarring are all skin conditions that could benefit from a microneedling with PRP treatment. This treatment can also be used to help combat the effects of sun damage that may have caused your skin to have a rough texture or hyperpigmentation.

Prior to the microneedling section of your treatment, someone from our medical staff will draw your blood for the PRP collection. The drawn blood will then be taken to our lab for the separation process where your viable cells, platelets, and growth factors will be condensed into PRP. For the microneedling treatment, Advanced Dermatology uses state-of-the-art technology to create tiny holes in your skin. The small needles used will not damage your skin but will instead help stimulate the production of collagen. Once the microneedling is complete, the PRP serum will be applied to the skin to sink in. After the PRP is fully absorbed, we will remove the serum and cleanse your skin.

Following your microneedling with PRP treatment, you may experience some normal effects, such as bruising, swelling, and redness. We recommend that you do not wear makeup, use abrasive skin cleansers, or submerge in a swimming pool for approximately 72 hours post-treatment. These activities can expose your skin to harsh chemicals and bacteria that could lead to adverse reactions. You should also minimize sun exposure or use protective measures when going outside. Final results are typically seen within several weeks as the skin works to repair and heal itself. 

How much does microneedling with PRP cost?
A treatment of microneedling and PRP will be priced depending on the size and number of areas receiving treatment. During your consult to build your personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals, your cost can be estimated. Advanced Dermatology frequently offers discounts on packages of multiple treatments in addition to monthly specials. Ask about current specials and which payment methods we accept during an appointment.

How effective are microneedling with PRP treatments?
The results from microneedling with PRP treatments may not be visible right away; however, the healing factors in the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) serum helps to stimulate growth for a a stronger, healthier complexion. To get your ideal results, you may need to get multiple treatments right away and then maintain your results with semi-annual treatments. Your technician will go over what to expect during your initial consult so you know what will happen after your treatment.

How many microneedling with PRP treatments should I get?
To begin, you might want to have a series of microneedling with PRP treatments scheduled every 2 – 3 weeks. Based on the starting condition of your skin and your goals, your aesthetician will develop a treatment plan that restores the health and appearance of your skin. Between microneedling with PRP treatments, you can schedule a facial or other skin treatment to nourish the new growth and remove dead skin cells.

Microneedling with PRP can be very beneficial for individuals looking to restore the appearance and feel of their skin. It can help to make skin look younger, smoother, firmer, and luminous. We invite you to learn more about this treatment by talking to one of our certified aestheticians or by scheduling a consultation at Advanced Dermatology in Katy, League City, Pearland, or Sugar Land, TX.
