Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) is a cosmetic treatment that uses a roller with fine needles to prick the skin. This procedure stimulates collagen production, which can help repair scars and reduce signs of aging.
PRP contains growth factors and cytokines that help skin tissue repair itself.
It can also be added as an injection or topically to enhance its effects.
Microneedling with PRP is an elective aesthetic procedure. Health insurance does not cover the cost of cosmetic procedures, so you will need to pay for the procedure yourself.
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure that uses microfine needles to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and tighten the skin. The microfine needle stimulates collagen production in the skin without damaging the skin.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is added to enhance the effects of microneedling. PRP contains proteins such as growth factors and cytokines that help repair skin tissue. First, the doctor uses a microneedling tool to prick the skin, which creates tiny holes in the skin's surface. Then, PRP is applied to the treated skin. This combination of microneedling and PRP is sometimes called a "vampire facial."
