Who is qualified to perform/administer a PRP microneedling treatment?

Live in Florida. Wondering if microneedling with PRP performed by an esthetician is worth it or should I see a nurse/pa/doctor for the treatment? I should mention it's a med spa and blood drawn and centrifuge by a nurse. Is the treatment the same?

Hi @Bostongirl2019! This was an excellent question. Unfortunately, PRP does not add volume to the face. However, it work well for hyperpigmentation, dark circles, bags, and collagen formation. To add volume, you would need to use dermal fillers.
