Hi, I am interested in enhancing the texture and elasticity of my face skin. I already have a puffy face which am trying to keep it less puffy. Would the collagen attained from microneedling/PRP lead to plumping the face or it just build collagen that works on the skin quality?
Answer: Microneedling does not add volume Microneedling and PRP are meant to improve skin quality, not add volume...other than some early post-procedure swelling which goes away.

Answer: Doing microneedling and prp together has great benefits for the skin Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Plumping PRP Thank you for your question. PRP helps improve skin quality and texture. The "plumping" effect that most patients report is really just a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles with improved overall texture. The procedure does not actually increase the volume in the face.

Answer: Microneedling and “plumping” Hello! Microneedling with PRP is fabulous for texture & laxity improvement so I believe you’re looking into a great treatment option. When they say “plump” when describing microneedling benefits, it describes the collagen & elastin boost triggered by the treatment. So the “plumping” doesn’t necessarily mean an added VOLUME to the face, but rather a regeneration of lost laxity that has been compromised with acne scarring, wrinkles, pores, etc. More like a ‘plump’ appearance in the texture (like the surface of a smooth ball), not an addition of volume to the face.

Answer: Microneedling does not increase facial volume Thank you for your question. Microneedling treatments work by creating micro-channels in the skin that trigger the body’s healing response. This boosts collagen production at a cellular level, which improves the texture and tone of the skin. It does not increase facial volume. In my office, I offer RF microneedling, which combines gentle radiofrequency heating with the microneedling process to further enhance results. Make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist who has the experience necessary to customize your treatment for the best possible results.

Answer: Microneedling Microneedling is a wonderful procedure for open pores, fine lines and wrinkles. It gives better color and texture. Adding PRP helps the skin attain more elastin and improves collagen. For more volume have your provider add filler with PRP (the Vampire Facelift) that will give you more fullness with better color and texture. Adding PRP after microneedling (the Vampire Facial) also gives a great look. Seek out a provider and get consulted. Hope this helps. JB
