I went through a phase of doing microneedling. One time with RF. Never with PRP. Everyone was doing it but now I would like to know if that's still some thing that doctors consider to be effective. If that what is the latest most effective method of dealing with sagging skin and texture ?

Answer: Manually and Professionally Performed Microneedling For Improving Superficial Skin Tone & Texture Irregularities When it comes to expensive PRP treatments for aesthetic reasons, unfortunately, the hard science to support their use lags well behind the heavy marketing and advertising hype and social media buzz. Professionally performed manual microneedling (no need for the added expense and risks of RF microneedling), which I have been performing for well over twenty-three years, is an effective technique for improving superficial skin TEXTURE and color irregularities. But, for optimal results in treating these, the procedure typically requires more aggressive microneedling perfomed using injected local anesthesia--an approach that typically cannot be done or achieved with less aggressive at-home treatments. But, microneedling would not be expected to be effective for sagging. For this, the use of an appropriately injected, robust HA lifting or volumizing filler would be more appropriate and effective treatment. You would be wise to seek consultation and treatment with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Answer: Is micro needling still an effective procedure? In my opinion, micro needling still is an effective treatment. I use it with radio frequency and think that is more effective than without it. I think the procedure mainly helps with issues on the surface of the skin, like wrinkles and textural irregularities. Sagging skin is sometimes better dealt with using surgery. Photos or an examination of you would be helpful to give you the best advice.
