How long after microneedling can I get PRP?

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. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Hello Beautista! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. There are no contraindications of getting PRP injections after microneedling. It is perfectly okay to receive microneedling one week prior to getting the PRP injections. I hope this helps and best of luck!

You are right that microneedling and PRP are often done at the same time—not only because they can be, but because these therapies actually complement each other quite well! It is perfectly safe to receive PRP injections one week after microneedling. In fact, the Vampire Facial, which we use in our clinic and which is a very popular technique for combining PRP and microneedling, typically involves 4 sessions which are given once every 30 days.
