I have seen Dermatologists offering microneedling with prp and without prp. Does prp make a difference besides cost? What are the results that I can expect from microneedling and how long will these results last?

Answer: Microneedling results--Add prp and lasers I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to enhance final results. This is tough to answer without pictures, but it can take a series of treatments to get improvement and results are long lasting with this combination, but may need treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: PRP with microneedling Hi, thank you for a great question. I am a big believer in combination therapies. Combined therapies are always better than stand alone therapies. Microneedling is a great treatment that creates micro traumas to the skin which induce collagen formation in the healing process. PRP delivers more than 30 bioactive growth factor proteins into the skin and this leads to a very intense collagen production. The two treatments go hand in hand very well. Great for scarring, for addressing fine lines, crepey skin, loss of skin elasticity, and a reduction in pigmentation and dark circles. It is best that the PRP is injected into the skin rather than massaged on top of the skin. It can take 6-8 weeks to see the full results, and a number of treatments are usually required. I like to combine hyaluronic acid with the PRP also, delivered at 1.2 - 1.6 mm below the skin surface. I hope this information is helpful to you.
