Forma Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ is proud to offer PRP microneedling. This innovative procedure takes general microneedling to the next level. As an additional bonus, we can apply your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the same area, which helps the complexion heal and encourages the growth of new skin cells. Together, both of these treatments can decrease the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles, spots, large pores, or other skin problems. They also help improve the texture of your skin so it appears smoother and you have a more even skin tone. If you’d like to learn more about microneedling with PRP, please schedule a private consultation with one of our skilled licensed medical aesthetician.
An ideal candidate for microneedling with PRP is any individual seeking to change the look or texture of the surface of their face. Dry skin, uneven skin tone, harsh texture, loose skin, age spots, wrinkles, acne, and scarring are all skin conditions that may benefit from a microneedling with PRP treatment. This treatment may also help combat the effects of sun damage that might have caused the skin to have hyperpigmentation.

Uneven skin tone, dry skin, rough-textured skin, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, loose skin, wrinkles, acne, and scarring are conditions that may benefit from a microneedling with PRP therapy.
Before the microneedling portion of your treatment, our licensed medical aesthetician, who is also a certified phlebotomist, will draw your blood for the PRP serum. Next, we place your blood in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, growth factors, and stem cells from your red blood cells. For the microneedling, we use modern technology to make tiny holes into your skin. The small needles we use won’t damage your skin but instead helps stimulate the production of collagen. During the treatment, our medical aesthetician will microneedle your PRP into the skin to turbo boost your skins collagen and elastin production.
After your treatment, skin will be slightly pink and may feel similar to a sunburn. Redness should dissipate within the first 24 hours. Post-microneedling, we require our patients to avoid the sun, heat like saunas, and working out for 72 hours. Microneedling is recommended as a series of treatments. Our licensed medical aesthetician performs an in-depth skin evaluation to determine a customized treatment plan for your skincare desires. We recommend that you do not wear makeup, cleanse with abrasive skin cleansers, or submerge in a swimming pool for approximately three days post-treatment. Patients experience final results within several weeks after the treatment as the skin works to repair and heal itself.
Microneedling works best for patients who want to rejuvenate the appearance and texture of their skin. It can help make your skin appear younger-looking, smoother, more luminous, and firmer. We invite you to learn more about this treatment by scheduling a consultation at Forma Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ with one of our team members.
