BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP FACIAL
A microneedling facial with PRP combines the already effective microneedling treatment -often performed with only hyaluronic acid- with the stem cell signaling power of PRP taken from your own body.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated from your blood, providing plasma that is rich in platelets and growth factors that stimulate a stem cell response. Using the latest, most powerful microneedling pen available the technician will create thousands of tiny punctures as they pass the pen across the surface of your skin (the microneedles are driven by a motorized pen). The needling elicits a repair response that occurs naturally in the body. When your body's receptors arrive to repair the perceived damage they find the rich plasma and all its growth factors there to help not just repair but actually grow new stem and skin cells.
This stem cell response improves the skin’s integrity by stimulating the growth of new collagen and blood vessels to repair and revitalize damaged skin. PRP Microneedling treatments can rejuvenate the skin to address fine lines, uneven skin tone, scarring, acne, hyperpigmentation and can slow and reverse the signs of aging. It is very similar to the regenerative joint, injury and chronic pain medicine practiced at KOI by Dr. Patricia Lutfy, MD, DC.
THE MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP REJUVENATION PROCESS
The microneedling with PRP facial performed at KOI, also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) uses the stem cell generating power of PRP in conjunction with the newest and most powerful device made by MD Pen. This is not a consumer product but one that requires technical training because of its power and ability to remove even stretch marks and surgical scarring. The pen is an Epidermal Micro-Exfoliation device used to stimulate the tissue and improve the appearance of the skin. The procedure is performed in a safe and precise manner utilizing the Turbo Safety Cartridge, a sterile micro-exfoliation component. The procedure is typically completed in 30-60 minutes. The treatment time can vary based on the required treatment and anatomical site being treated.
Practically Zero Downtime Post Treatment
One of the reasons Microneedling with PRP Facials are so popular is the fact that you can carry on with your day right after treatment. Your skin will look red- as if sunburned- and glossy but not to any extent that would keep you from going to the grocery store. Day two is markedly better, with the one limiting factor being that you can't put product on. Day three has you returning to your normal skincare routine but avoiding direct sun, which is what you'll want to do for the week. By day 7 you'll be growing fresh younger looking skin and after a month, when the effects of the PRP are fully realized, you'll love the way you look and feel.
