I have not seen hyperpigmentation of the skin from Microneedling wt PRP. In fact, it really breaks down hyperpigmented areas making them look lighter even after one treatment. In our office, our PRP patients are extremely happy wt their results and keep coming back every 6 weeks for their treatment. We also start them on Retin A and in some cases 4 percent Hydroquinone to enhance their results.
Thank you for your question about Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP. Microneedling with PRP does not have the same risk of hyperpigmentation as laser or BBL/IPL treatments do. At our office we use PRP microneedling to treat patients with pigment concerns that are not candidates for any other pigment treatments. We typically recommend Lytera 2.0 or hydroquinone for patients at risk for hyperpigmentation.To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
Microneedling with PRP is an excellent treatment for acne scarring, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation. I personally have not seen hyperpigmentation result from PRP with microneedling, in fact I have seen some improvement in hyperpigmentation following PRP with microneedling treatments. I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.

Hi @eye72. PRP injections will not restore volume loss. It can help skin texture by building collagen. I typically recommend 3-6 sessions for optimal results. Best of Luck, Dr. Nima!
Microneedling as a stand alone procedure is a great choice for those wanting to help acne scarring, stretch marks and improve skin texture on the face, neck and chest. Adding Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will provide a concentrated boost of collagen-stimulating growth factors to your procedure, wh...
This is a common question in a office that performs PRP. Most people do not want to start an ongoing treatment if they plan on getting pregnant and have to discontinue it. Theoretically, PRP could be continued during pregnancy. A discussion with the patient and their obstetrician is necessary...
In my opinion, topical PRP is useful for rejuvenating and speeding healing of skin. By itself, it does not improve pigmentation. Make sure you receive pretreatment with a bleaching cream for any pigmentation procedures. Good luck.
