What Is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma is a revolutionary treatment that harnesses the natural healing compounds in your body. It has been used to heal joint injuries in athletes, but also to revitalize the skin in many cosmetic procedures. A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge for approximately 15 minutes. Powerful growth factors found within your blood are extracted and purified for use after your microneedling treatment.

Microneedling With PRP – How It Works

Often called collagen induction therapy, microneedling activates the production of collagen to revitalize the skin. It can be performed on the face or other areas of the body to reduce the appearance of:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Sun damage
Uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks or surgery scars

The Microneedling Procedure

During your treatment, a handheld device with a grouping of tiny needles is passed over the affected area. The needles create micro-injuries on the first few layers of skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process without scarring. Collagen and elastin are produced as the body heals, which smooth your skin and provide a natural glow.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentration of your body’s anti-aging nutrients, is applied to the treatment area to further boost the production of collagen. The PRP penetrates the micro-channels on the surface of your skin to generate long-lasting results from within.

Best Candidates For Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling with PRP is a highly individualized treatment that can be performed almost anywhere on the body. The body’s production of collagen and elastin slows over time, so many adults can benefit from an extra boost. The procedure utilizes two minimally-invasive treatments that take advantage of your body’s natural healing process without the need for any other substances, creams, dermal fillers, or other ingredients that may trigger an allergic reaction. Anyone who experiences unwanted signs of aging or other mild to moderate imperfections can be a candidate for microneedling in Portland, Maine with our team.
