Microneedling with PRP in Scottsdale, AZ

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.

Microneedling is a sought-after procedure since it can work to rejuvenate the complexion in only a single appointment. With the addition of platelet-rich plasma, your outcomes could be even further magnified. Many individuals at Forma Plastic Surgery enjoy a range of advantages from microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, like:

• PRP boosts elastin and collagen generation down within the skin surface for advanced results
• Shorter healing period than microneedling by itself
• Outcomes stay for at least a year
• Address numerous concerns at a time, such as wrinkles and fine lines, skin texture problems, brown spots, uneven skin color, acne scars, large pores, and others
• Suitable for virtually every type of skin

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.

An ideal candidate for microneedling with PRP is anybody who wants to improve the appearance or texture of their skin. 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.

How effective are microneedling with PRP treatments?
The results from microneedling with PRP treatments may not be visible right away; however, the healing factors in the platelet-rich plasma serum are meant to stimulate growth for healthier, stronger skin. To see your ideal results, you should get multiple treatments right away and then maintenance sessions. Your technician will go over what to expect in your initial consultation so you are happy with your results.

How many microneedling with PRP treatments should I get?
At first, you might want to schedule a series of treatments performed every few weeks. Based on the starting condition of your complexion and your concerns, your aesthetician will write a microneedling with PRP treatment plan to restore the health and appearance of your complexion. In between microneedling with PRP treatments, you may want to get another skin treatment to exfoliate old skin and nourish new skin layers.
