MICRONEEDLe + Prp
Microneedling + Platelet Rich Plasma
Just a few pricks and your skin will be smooth, even, and glowing. It’s seriously magical. Healing PRP adds extra collagen - boosting power.
We promise it sounds scarier than it is! This minimally invasive treatment creates invisible “micro-injuries” in the surface of the skin and incorporates ultra-healing platelet rich plasma, triggering collagen and elastin production, minimizing scarring and hyperpigmentation, allowing products to penetrate deeper into skin, and encouraging a healthy glow.
What You Can Expect:
-
Drink lots of water in the days prior to your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure for a few weeks prior to your appointment.
Scale back on topical exfoliants, including acids and retinoids, in the days leading up to your appointment.
Avoid alcohol a day or two before your treatment (sorry!)
Avoid Aspirin, Ibuprofen, fish oil, and Vitamin E for 10-14 days prior to treatment.Arrive with clean skin and no lotion.
Make sure to eat something prior to your appointment, as we will be drawing blood! -
Your provider will apply numbing cream to the area prior to treatment. While the numbing cream works its magic, your provider will draw a small amount of your blood in order to extract PRP. During treatment, you won’t feel any pain, however you may feel a slight stinging sensation and vibrations from the microneedling pen.
If you get cold sores, let your provider know so they can prescribe a preventative medication.
You may experience stinging and redness (like a sunburn) immediately after treatment. Both are normal, and redness will subside after a few days.
-
Don't book a facial on the same day you’re receiving microneedling.
Go without makeup the day and night of your treatment.
Apply sunscreen like it’s your job — regularly and thoroughly!
Avoid exfoliating or using any products with active ingredients until your skin is completely back to normal — your provider will advise how soon you will be able to return to your regular skincare routine.
