Microneedling Vs. Profractional Laser, best for anti-aging?

Question

I'm wondering what the difference is between Profractional laser and Microneedling. I know one is a laser and one isn't but which is better for antiaging? i'm in my mid 40's light caucasian with good skin. I've had a medium profractional before and it was good. Also can you do PRP with Profractioal? How do these treatment results compare? thanks!

Microneedling is more of a cosmetic procedure where a eclipse micropen is used to help with small resurfacing issue.  You can expect good removal of small superficial scars and discolorations with little amount of downtime, mostly a sunburn like experience.Profractional is a deeper erybium laser to treat deeper scars, wrinkles, melasma, etc.  It is a more aggressive of a laser and can vary on depth you set the laser with your setting as far as down time.  It would resurface your skin much more aggressive than microneedling.  You could use PRP with profractional.  However,  PRP is used more with microneedling.
