Microneedling With PRP

Are you fed up with or tired of feeling as if your face looks dull and lifeless? Have you been advised to undergo a skin rejuvenation treatment in hopes of regaining beautiful skin? Fine lines, wrinkles, skin blemishes, acne scars, and even damage from the sun can all be easily addressed, thanks to the power of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), in conjunction with microneedling. Improved appearance is possible with each subsequent treatment, resulting in more naturally looking healthy skin.

Often times, doctors recommend medication or chemical bleaches or minerals to help rejuvenate the skin. While they may be effective, they are still attempting to address the problem at an external level. Not to mention, If your skin happens to be particularly sensitive, you may even worsen the appearance and health of your skin.

Luckily, there is a new treatment that overcomes all the challenges of traditional facial rejuvenation treatments. This has come to be known as microneedling with PRP or the vampire facial. It is a new-age cosmetic dermatological treatment that uses your own blood to heal and revitalize your skin.

The fact is nothing is as safe for your body as its natural fluids. Your skin will look and feel infinitely healthier and more revitalized than it will if you use any other treatments. At Majestic Aesthetics, Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner Laura Matjasich has extensive experience providing microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma).

Before the procedure, your skin will be assessed and your blood will be tested to ensure the procedure is ideal for you. Next, we will identify the site from which to draw the blood and the sites where the platelet-rich blood will be administered to you.

On the day of the treatment, microneedling with PRP begins with the drawing of blood. A needle and syringe are used to draw between 5ml & 15ml of blood from a closed vein in the arm. The collected blood sample is placed in a centrifuge where the platelet-rich plasma gets separated from the blood. These platelets are full of growth factors known for their wound-healing and rejuvenating properties.

A single centrifuge session takes about 15 minutes. Once this session is completed, the blood is subjected to a second run on the centrifuge. This results in the creation of a super-enriched platelets-rich extract called the PRP concentrate. The PRP concentrate is then put into a serum applicant and set aside.

Next, a microneedling device is used to prepare the skin for the concentrate. This device creates tiny holes in the top layer of the skin, where they act as absorbent pores for the PRP concentrate. The skin of the patient is gently wiped clean. A local anesthetic may be applied to the face, if necessary. Then, the micro needles are used to lightly prick the skin (to around 2mm in depth).

Once the microneedling is complete, the PRP concentrate is applied over the face using the serum applicator. While you may experience a gentle prickling sensation when the microneedling is done, the entire procedure is otherwise pain-free. Any left-over PRP concentrate is gently massaged into the skin.

The serum, once absorbed by the skin, will trick the skin into thinking that it is damaged and the dermal tissue regeneration begins. The entire procedure takes between 30-60 minutes, depending on the extensiveness of the treatment. The private office at Majestic Aesthetics is a highly-sterilized clinical setting with state-of-the-art instruments. You are in safe and experienced hands.
