You have most likely heard of a PRP microneedling facial aka *Vampire Facial made famous by a selfie on Instagram from Kim Kardashian a few years back. At first, many people assumed it was just a fad. However, it has proven to be an excellent anti-aging treatment to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and give your skin a fresh glow, all from your blood. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections also help reduce scarring, sun damage, and dark circles. It might sound a little strange at first, but let’s take a look at what it is and how it can help you.
First, Dr. Nazarian draws your blood, and it is spun to isolate the plasma from your red and white blood cells. Once he has finished this, the plasma or liquid is then microneedled into your skin. Some beauty experts have compared the benefits of this growth factor to fertilizer for a lawn. The reason it works effectively is it the plasma is the very best part of your blood. This treatment was initially used to help treat torn ligaments in athletes to expedite healing.
The main benefit of Microneedling with PRP is that you only have about a 24-hour downtime. While Dr. Nazarian creates these micro-injuries to your skin, it is healing them at the same time. The PRP stimulates higher collagen production and speeds up the skin’s natural healing process. You achieve better results than traditional microneedling alone with fewer treatments.
PRP microneedling is not appropriate for every patient or every skin concern. Candidacy depends on factors such as skin condition, active infection or inflammation, scarring pattern, medications, medical history, and treatment goals. Comfort measures and treatment steps also vary by protocol.
