Microneedling is one of the most popular treatments we provide at our medspa in Denver. If you’re interested in microneedling, you should know the benefits of combining this treatment with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Together, these two services can boost collagen and elastin production and stimulate your skin’s natural healing abilities. Are you curious about the science behind these treatments? Here’s what you need to know:
What is Microneedling?
If you’re unfamiliar with microneedling, we’ll quickly cover what to expect from this treatment. During a microneedling session, your skincare professional will use a thin needle to create tiny holes in the top layer of the skin. This minimally invasive procedure revs up your skin’s healing process by signaling your body to ramp up collagen and elastin production. Although microneedling is effective for targeting concerns such as enlarged pores, fine lines, acne scars, and skin discoloration, it’s designed to prick the skin and may cause irritation. Even though the results outweigh the drawbacks for most patients, your skin may look red and feel sensitive after the procedure. If you’d like to experience faster healing and increased benefits from microneedling, consider combining your treatments with platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF. If you’re curious about what that entails, keep reading!
Why PRF Can Enhance Microneedling
If you missed our previous post on PRF injections, we’ll give you a quick recap. In a nutshell, PRF is derived from the patient’s blood and contains a high level of platelets, leukocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells. This all-natural solution is a powerhouse for cell renewal, priming the skin with the growth factors it needs for optimal healing.
We’re excited to offer PRF and microneedling at our medspa in Denver. Microneedling is an excellent option for a wide variety of skin concerns, and when combined with PRF, it’s even more effective. Please contact us if you’d like to explore treatments for your unique skin. We’d love to schedule a consultation to learn more about your needs. From there, we’ll create a customized plan to help you meet your goals.
