The Unparalleled Benefits Of Microneedling With PRP

By Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care No Comments

Microneedling is one of the hottest skin care treatments on the market for the past few years. It’s ability to restore a more-youthful appearance is remarkable without entourage procedures. However, when this powerful collagen induction procedure is combined with the regenerative powers of platelet rich plasma, it can offer exponentially better results. 

Hyaluronic acid serums have traditionally been used after microneedling sessions, as the microscopic punctures allow for deeper serum penetration. Substituting PRP for traditional serums has been shown to supercharge microneedling procedures, further increasing collagen production. The end result is more supporting tissue below your skin and less wrinkles on the surface.

PRP encourages cell regeneration. This allows you see faster results, possibly with fewer treatments than if you chose traditional microneedling. Adding PRP to microneedling is common in the treatment of deep acne scarring and may help provide an improved result when treating surgical scars.

The Many Uses Of Platelet Rich Plasma

By Platelet Rich Plasma No Comments

Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, has a variety of cosmetic and medical uses. PRP is usually an injection treatment, but can be used in many forms to promote skin and cell regeneration. 

At PRP in Seattle, we use PRP in many procedures, including hair restoration, microneedling, Brazilian butt lifts, and facials. Normally, when used for cosmetic purposes, PRP is used to stimulate skin and collagen regrowth. This safe and effective treatment can supplement nearly any cosmetic surgery or procedure.

What about when PRP is not used in a cosmetic procedure setting? The most common uses of PRP are in surgery or therapeutic contexts. To aid in post-surgical healing, PRP is sometimes injected or applied into surgical areas. This can help promote new skin growth and heal incisions. For those suffering from muscle injuries (especially athletes), PRP is sometimes injected into acute injuries, such as a pulled hamstring, to quicken and improve muscle healing.

Finally, Platelet Rich Plasma has helped patients with osteoarthritis find some relief. While still a relatively new use, PRP may find many more uses as medical knowledge and studies continue.
