Microneedling / PRP for Skin Rejuvenation AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS

In the quest for younger-looking skin, microneedling has become an increasingly popular rejuvenation technique. This method works deep within the dermis to stimulate the body’s natural processes and produce a smoother, more youthful complexion. Microneedling can be used to address the effects of age, sun damage, and other blemishes or scars that have developed on the skin over time. 

At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, our highly experienced cosmetic physician, Dr. Jeff Birchall, and his team of specialists perform microneedling treatments to help patients achieve a supple skin tone and healthier appearance.

 
 

Candidates for Microneedling with PRP for Skin Rejuvenation

PRP microneedling is a safe and powerful treatment that helps people of all ages feel great about their skin. It works well for almost every skin type and is perfect for anyone who wants to smooth out wrinkles, fix uneven texture, or just get a healthy glow.

What makes it special? It uses your own blood to help your skin heal and look better—so there’s almost no risk of your body reacting badly to it.

Microneedling is a versatile, multi-purpose treatment that can be performed on various areas of the body. While the face is the most common treatment area, the procedure can also help to tighten loose skin around the neck, chest, and décolletage. 

For those with skin concerns on the arms, back, hands, or legs, microneedling is also a suitable restoration method.

By targeting the dermal structure, the procedure can replenish the underlying tissue and address the following issues:

• Fine lines and facial wrinkles
• Shallow scarring, such as acne scars
• Sun damage
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation irregularities
• Enlarged pores
• Dull, tired skin tone
• Mild to moderate skin laxity

Microneedling with PRP is also beneficial for individuals who cannot undergo laser treatment, for example, patients with darker skin tones. To ensure optimal results, Dr. Birchall will assess your skin and consider your needs to determine whether this combination therapy is suitable for you.

 
 

How Microneedling with PRP for Skin Rejuvenation Works 

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin restoration method that works alongside the body’s immune response. The procedure uses a handheld device to puncture the skin and create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. 

This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production, and accelerating cell turnover to restore the skin tissue and heal the perceived wounds. Gradually, this natural reaction works to restore your complexion by evening out skin tone and smoothing out fine lines, stretch marks, acne scars, and other textural irregularities. 

Once microneedling is performed, the serums will infuse thoroughly into the skin, allowing for better penetration of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This is a concentrated group of cells in the blood that contains growth factors and stem cells. As an all-natural skin serum, it is beneficial for repairing damaged tissue and strengthening the dermal structure. The microneedling allows the ingredients to work deep within the dermal layers, creating superior results compared to topical application.

The benefits of this combination therapy include:

• Stimulates cell regeneration and collagen production
• Eliminates pigmentation and spots
• Promotes growth and healing
• Reduces acne scarring
• Smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles
• Evens out skin tone
• Improves circulation
• Softens stretch marks and other blemishes
• Restores a natural, healthy glow to the face

Microneedling is performed using a topical anesthetic and may take from 30 minutes to one hour to complete, depending on the extent of treatment required. It is a highly customizable procedure; the depth of the device is adjustable and can be tailored to the unique needs and concerns of each patient.
