I prepaid 6 treatments of Skinpen+PRP however the plastic surgeon couldn't draw out my blood to spin for PRP for 2 treatments as he said my veins were very tiny and the veins moved. Does microneddling+PRP give better result than without PRP? Price is different by $250. Thanks

Answer: GF Hello there, There should be other options available to apply during and after microneedling. We use Biopelle growth factor during our microneedling treatments and have seen fanatastic results with this application. I would speak with your provider about other synthetic growth factor options. You may also want to switch providers to someone who can offer this to you. I also would recommend using medical-grade skincare post-treatment that is specifically for use following Skinpen. This will greatly increase your results and decrease your downtime. Hope this helps. Sarah RN BSN

Answer: Microneedling with PRP The efficacy of PRP is dependent upon each patient's age, health, and quality of platelets. However, in a healthy, relatively young individual, microneedling with PRP has shown to be superior to microneedling without PRP due to the decreased inflammation, improved healing time, and the high number of growth factors in PRP. The PRP can also be injected into fine lines and wrinkles after the microneedling to promote reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and stimulat collagen. Microneedling alone (without PRP) has also been shown to be clinically beneficial for reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scarring, so if your physician is not able to access your veins, be assured that microneedling alone will be beneficial to your skin.
