I'm doing some research on which products are the best for Microneedling and have come across some information that PRP is actually not great with microneedling because it is pro inflammatory and that most skin issues (rosacea, abnormal skin pigmentation, wrinkles, etc) are due to inflammation, which is less than ideal, so why would you want to induce more inflammation?
