I recently had microneedling + prp done with Skinpen and I’ve seen some improvement, however I’ve been told that I need a few more sessions. Since each session has almost the same price as CO2 isn’t it better to go for the laser if I’m looking for dramatic results? I have very enlarged pores and some ice picks in the cheek area, that’s my major concern. Thanks

Answer: Microneedling with PRP vs CO2 laser? Hello, PRP with microneedling ( Vampire Facial) is an excellent treatment to improve skin health and treat scars. It takes time and may not completely resolve your scars. It will improve your large pores. The advantage is no downtime,unlike a CO2 laser. I would recommend treating your skin condition with radiofrequency microneedling ( Fractora) which has a more intense microneedling effect and results similar to CO2 laser, again without the down time. I would also use PDO threads in the ice pick scar areas of your cheek ,which will give you lasting results, with filler to complete the treatment if not totally resolved with the threads and Fractora.
