Microneedling with PRP: 7 Amazing Skin Benefits of the Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial

Microneedling may sound intimidating, but it’s actually a well-tolerated and extremely effective way to combat signs of aging and help your skin stay healthy and beautiful, especially as you age. Combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, it can be a complete game-changer for your skin and your confidence.

At Vivash Medspa, our team utilizes the state-of-the-art Morpheus8 microneedling therapy system, combined with cutting-edge PRP technology, for the ultimate skin reset. Here, learn seven ways this unique treatment combination works to benefit long-term skin health and appearance.

1. Boosts collagen production

Microneedling uses a special device to create dozens of tiny “microinjuries” in your skin, which are controlled areas of damage that, in turn, stimulate your body’s natural healing responses. This includes increasing the production of collagen, a protein that plays a crucial role in wound healing.

Collagen also helps skin look and feel firmer and more resilient. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling enhances the skin’s elasticity, even as aging causes a decline in natural collagen production.

2. Improves skin texture and tone

Sexy, healthy skin looks and feels soft and smooth. Unfortunately, aging, illness, environmental triggers, and even stress all take their toll, resulting in rough texture and uneven tone that make your skin look worn and dull. 

Microneedling with PRP stimulates cell turnover, rejuvenating the skin's structure and resulting in significant improvements in texture and tone. Over time, regular treatments yield long-term benefits, such as a brighter, more radiant complexion that appears naturally healthy.

3. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

Of course, one of the most popular benefits of microneedling with PRP is its ability to smooth out some of the most unwanted signs of aging: fine lines and wrinkles. Once again, collagen production is the key. 

By increasing collagen in your skin, microneedling with PRP enhances the skin’s elasticity and thickness, plumping lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

4. Minimizes scars

Lines and wrinkles aren’t the only flaws that can be corrected with microneedling and PRP therapy. This unique and powerful combination reduces the appearance of facial scars, including pesky acne scars that can distract from your complexion and confidence.

Microneedling with PRP breaks down damaged, hardened scar tissue and encourages new skin growth, reducing the visibility of scars. Many patients experience a noticeable and permanent improvement in scarring within just a few treatment sessions.

5. Enhances product absorption

Microneedling creates a series of tiny channels in your skin, which reach from the uppermost layer of tissue down to the deeper layers where much skin damage occurs. 

These channels serve as tiny conduits for moisturizers and serums, including anti-aging products, helping them reach the areas where they can do the most good — and yield the most significant benefits for your complexion.

6. Supports long-term skin health

PRP contains growth factors that help promote skin healing and rejuvenation, along with better circulation in your skin. These benefits provide both immediate visible results and long-term benefits that support skin health over time, giving your skin the tools it needs to ward off age-related damage and damage caused by sun and environmental exposures.

7. Noninvasive and allergy-free

Finally, PRP is derived from a sample of your own blood, which means there’s no risk of allergic reaction. The combination of microneedling and PRP is a natural way to harness your body’s own healing powers, replenishing and rejuvenating your skin. Better still, microneedling with PRP works for nearly all skin types and tones, making it an excellent choice for most women and men.
