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

Question

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?

Dana Goldberg, MD · Answer

The treatment is likely the same, although there can be differences in the quality of processing of the PRP. The quality of the PRP depends on the type of process used after the blood is drawn, not the credentials of the person doing the treatment.

Dear TexasNole15,
PRP and microneedling treatment can be performed by plastic surgeon, dermatologist, registered nurse or esthetician with a proper training. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to visit plastic surgery office.

Yes, it is 100% worth it!  It depends on the state laws in Florida as to who can perform microneedling.  Our entire staff is certified and trained extensively under myself for all treatments.  Our expert staff draws your blood and places it in the centrifuge.  The microneedling with PRP is then performed. This treatment increases collagen and improves the overall quality and health of the skin.  It should be safe and effective for most patients. Prior to your treatment, we will review your skin type, skin concerns, and general health and determine if this is the right aesthetic treatment for you!
