Redness after this is normal we have our patients do PDT after therapy with topically applied growth factors and the healing speeds up exponentially! Best, Dr. Emer.
Redness and swelling are expected after a microneedling treatment. When treated with PRP this will improve your results and speed up your healing. The skin usually calms by day 4. Using a calming cream after microneedling is always recommended such as, ZO Revitatrol. Best to you, Dr Faraz
Thank you for your question. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) applied and injected during and immediately after the procedure will all help speed healing. I recommend Alastin Nectar to decrease redness, speed our patients' recovery, and to allow more impressive results. Other options include Skin Medica HA5 and PCA Skin Dual Action Redness Relief. Please check with your physician what he or she recommends. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas

In addition to Botox, fillers, lasers and microneedling/prp can all improve forehead wrinkles. For the tummy tuck scar, I recommend a combination of lasers and microneedling/prp. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
Thanks for your question. It is difficult to say because there are several different protocols and machines, but in general, your blood should have been collected in a tube and then spun for a certain amount of time. The upper layer which is typically straw colored is where the PRP is located. ...
Microneedling will not dry out the skin. Microneedling should always be done along with PRP for best results. Take a lookm at the products your using on your skin. You want to use a medical grade skin care line with retinol to stimulate new cellular production and scrubs to exfoliate...
