I had my second microneedling procedure on Friday and this time added PRP. I was slightly red the first day and had nearly no redness the second day and completely back to normal by day 3 which was unlike my first microneedling procedure (also with a different person than the first) 6 weeks ago. I was very red the first and second day. I just hope I got my money’s worth on the second procedure since it was double the price.
Answer: Microneedling recovery with PRP Thank you for your question. It is normal for your skin to react differently after each treatment especially after using PRP. PRP has amazing growth factors which can speed up the healing process for microneedling. Normal healing time varies from 1-7 days depending on the person. Be sure to consult with a professional at a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office.

CONTACT NOW Answer: It is completely normal to be red for a couple days after treatment Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Experiencing redness after treatment is normal and may differ from treatment to treatment. Also, PRP can also accelerate healing.

Answer: Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) for Healing / Facial Rejuvenation -- add Stem Cells for Acne, Wrinkles, Cellulite, Scars, Sun Damage Typically, the skin could be red for 2-5 days depending on depth and power of the device. "In our practice we refer to PRP as ""liquid gold"" because it provides healing and rejuvenation and is a natural way to improve the appearance of your skin. In addition to helping you maintain a fresh, youthful appearance. The Vampire Facial uses PRP and stem cells to improve complexion, texture, and fine lines and wrinkles. When combined with lasers and radiofrequency treatments, it can also address scars, pores, and pigmentation. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist.

Answer: Microneedling Most patients will be red for 2-3 days after. We have seen some patients “healing” time be easier after the second or third treatment but the downtime is around the same. You can ask the depth of the microneedling and if it’s at a safe level ask them to be more aggressive during the next treatment.
