Microneedling

About

Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with the application of PRP to rejuvenate the skin. Microneedling involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. PRP, derived from the patient's own blood and rich in growth factors, is then applied topically or injected into the skin during microneedling. This combination enhances skin healing, improves texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes a more youthful appearance.
