I did my first microneedling with PRP about 2 months ago. I had intended to continue with another round a months later, but then did not end up having the money to do so. I want to schedule another session, but am I essentially starting all over? Also, my face was so extremely red for about 2 weeks after and I was embarrassed to even go out In public. It couldn’t pass for a sunburn...it was too red for anyone to believe that. I’m scared of a repeat. What can I do?

Answer: Lower Downtime Options Thanks for your question and posting pictures. The increased timing between microneedling with PRP treatments will not effect the results of each treatment. Most of our patients want to avoid the associated downtime with microneedling. In my opinion, the potential results from microneedling and dermarolling are oversold by providers that don't have better options. Microneedling usually causes unnecessary trauma to the surface of the skin. It really depends what you are trying to solve. It could be as simple as a series of gentle chemical peels or IPL PhotoFacials. If you were going after acne scars, microneedling with PRP alone usually won't yield the best results. I would encourage you to look for a medical office with lots of options, excellent reviews and experience in whatever you are trying to solve. Make sure there is a physician present that is available to consult and ask questions. I hope this helps.

Answer: Vampire Facial Hi,the goal of any microneedling is to increase collage, elastin, decrease hyperpigmentation, and treat small wrinkles. You still benefited from the first time, and you will accumulate the effects once you do more sessions. I prefer to start with 3 months in a row, to get collagen production increased. It takes 4 weeks or so to increase that collagen levels, it will start breaking down, hopefully not as fast.As far as the redness, that is unusual. I mostly do vampire Facials which are PRP micro-needling, and with that redness goes away in 15 hours or so.
