Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to puncture the first layer of skin.
The aim of the microneedling process is to help rejuvenate skin by increasing the production of collagen.
One popular option is pairing microneedling with PRP, platelet-rich plasma, to enhance results.
Here’s what you should know before trying microneedling with PRP.
What does microneedling with PRP do?
PRP is often used alongside microneedling to help improve and enhance results further.
According toMedical News Today, microneedling with PRP tends to be more expensive than regular microneedling.
However, the skin can heal more quickly as a result of using PRP.
What to expect from a microneedling treatment
PerHealthline, the microneedling itself usually lasts for 30 minutes.
A medical-grade derma roller is used to treat the required areas of skin.
This will be followed by blood being drawn from your arm.
This solution can then be “massaged into the treatment area.”
Healthlinereports that you might expect some mild side effects after undergoing a microneedling treatment.
This is because collagen production takes time to occur.
However, the wait should be worth it.
