Is microneedling without PRP still effective? What product can be applied if my skin does not react well with a vit C serum?

Question

I am moving to Brazil due to my work, and I have done a research in order to continue my sessions for heal a hypertrophic scar ..I've found good clinics but none of them works with PRP...also, in my first session (in USA) I used a vita c + hyaluronic acid serum and my skin did not react well because in every application my scar turned more red and thick, so I stopped with the product and the result was good.. hope there are more options of products that can be applied after the sessions!

Yes, microneedling can still be effective. I recommend following up with your Doctor about after care and skin care recommendations. PDT therapy can improve inflammation. We suggest all patients follow up with facials like Silk Peel Dermalinfusuion to hydrate, exfoliate and provide the skin with antioxidants. Sun protection is also essential. I always combine microneedling with lasers to get the best outcomes. We do treatments every 3-6 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, I have seen good results with regards to surgical and acne scarring using microneedling with and without PRP. I do believe now that PRP does help reduce downtime after the treatment as well stimulate additional collagen production, the latter helping to optimize microneedling results.

Hi luke glanton,We usually apply medical grade moisturizing and repair serum (Sente Dermal Repair Cream) during treatment. Afterward, we apply a calming treatment. Some patients reported good results wit TNS serum. Microneedling works with or without PRP - just faster when you use the latter.One reason that some skincare don't work is that these were applied too soon after microneedling. Your skin may be extremely sensitive and it may take about  week to resume your regimen. Don't forget to use sunscreen.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
