I know both cause "damage" to the skin + that you can use the PRP on top of either procedure to stimulate collagen by fixing that "damage" & wondering which one it combines with better. Thanks!
Answer: Getting the Most from Fraxel or Microneedling I appreciate your question and you are correct in your assumption that Fraxel and microneedling both work in a similar fashion. These treatments are categorized as collagen induction therapies because the trigger additional collagen production by the body to support the dermal structure. Some doctors will add PRP to the treatment because platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that are thought to enhance the healing process. I offer RF microneedling, which heats the underlying dermal structure to enhance results even more effectively than PRP, in my opinion. It also doesn’t require a blood draw before treatment.

Answer: PRP can go great with microneedling to achieve the best results you are looking for Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Is PRP better in combination with Fraxel or micro-needling? PRP can help to heal your skin after both Fraxel and micro needling. It is more commonly combined with micro needling. The Fraxel laser is a more expensive treatment than microneelding with PRP, and this may be why it is not combined with the Fraxel as often. The average price for one Fraxel treatment to the face here in Houston is $1100. It is recommended that you have 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. If you add ~$250 more to this price to add PRP it makes this more costly.

Answer: Microneedling with PRP In my opinion, both treatments would be optimized with PRP. It all depends on what you are treating. I find microneedling with PRP a good treatment option for uneven skin texture, fine lines, and enlarged pores.
