Is PRP using injections better than PRP using microneedling, or using both pro injection followed by microneedling?

Depending on what your concerns are, PRP can be beneficial both injected and microneedled into the skin. Injecting it will get the plasma deeper into the skin and is great for lines and wrinkles. However, not everyone needs the plasma injected. It's best to discuss your concerns with your provider.Best of luck!

You will get the best results if you microneedle the skin and then inject AND apply the PRP topically. If the treatment is being performed by an aesthetician, you may not have the option to have it injected because they are not licensed to inject. The classic Vampire Facial does not include injections and you will still get great results, but the results will be more significant if the PRP is injected as well as applied topically. Injecting the PRP without microneedling will not be as effective because the microneedling treatment inflames the skin causing the platelets to become activated when injected into the skin post needling. 

Hi, thanks for the great question.  It's hard to answer this question without knowing what condition is being addressed.  Both approaches have their strengths and best for different conditions.  Micro needling with PRP (Vampire Facial) is great for skin color, texture, pigmentation, redness and acne scars/ and scars. Injected PRP is better for building up volume in areas like the cheeks, smile lines and tear troughs especially when added with filler like Juvederm (Vampire Facelift). Sometimes a combination of the two will meet most goals. Thanks for asking
