I had PRP Microneedling done today. The RN said that she did not do my nose because it’s not beneficial and can actually make skin worse because it’s so thin and primarily cartilage. Is that true?

Answer: PRP MIcroneedling On/Around the Nose PRP microneedling absolutely can be done on/around the nose, and in-fact some patients have noted post treatment improvement in their tiny blood vessels in the fold on the side of the nose and improvement in their pigmentation and pores to their nose. It is important to consider the quality of the PRP your physician is using - not all PRP is created equal and depends on the centrifuge properties, the centrifugation time and speed and the PRP kit used to optimize the concentration of platelets (thus all of the growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines). Needle depth and pressure are also very important so choosing your physician-led team is a big first step so your specific concerns and skin type can guide your treatment plan.

Answer: Can I have PRP microneedling done on my nose? Absolutely. Actually microneedling is very beneficial specially with patients with large pores over the nose. Microneedling should be performed by an experienced physician since the depth of the needles needs to be regulated according to the facial area to be treated, skin type, and concerns to be corrected.
