Can I Do PRP and Microneedling Together?

Till today, we have heard that PRP and microneedling are two of the different treatments, but now doctors combine these two to maximize the effectiveness of PRP treatment. Microneedling is a technique in which micro-injuries are made on the skin surface, and PRP is basically known as platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that help with treating skin and hair issues. Doctors nowadays perform microneedling before PRP so that the palms can get into the skin layer properly and give out the maximum results.

“Can I Do PRP and Microneedling Together?” is a very common question people ask. Read this blog below to know the answer.

What Is PRP Treatment?

This is a process in which patient blood is taken and centrifuged at high speed, after which a substance known as plasma separates from the blood. This plan is rich in growth factors. Doctors use this extracted natural serum on either hair or skin to treat various conditions like hair loss, acne marks, scars, etc.

What Is Microneedling Treatment?

It is a minimally invasive procedure whereby a pen-like instrument with fine needles is applied to micro-harm the skin surface. These traumas activate the body’s healing mechanism and increase the production of collagen that stimulates the skin surface to regenerate.

How Do They Work Together:

They work by creating tiny injuries on the skin surface using fine needles that help trigger the collagen production and natural healing process of the body, and at the same time, the natural plasma is applied on the surface, which goes deep into the skin layers, providing growth factors. This helps in speeding up the process of healing.

Advantages of Combining PRP with Microneedling:

• It speeds up the healing and growth process, resulting in more satisfactory results.
• When PRP is combined with microneedling, the results are more effective and noticeable, especially in treating scars.
• As plasma is derived from patients’ blood, the risk of infection is very, very low.
• Microneedling before PRP helps in better absorption of the product deep into the skin layers.

Can I Do PRP and Microneedling Together?

Yes, as long as your doctors approve, this combined treatment, known as a vampire facial, is very effective when taken together as compared to taken alone. It maximizes the effectiveness of both processes and heals faster together.

Who Should Avoid This Combination Treatment? 

The combination treatment should not be used in pregnant women or individuals whose acne is active. Always meet a skin specialist first and share your history and goals in order to make doctors realize whether you are good to be under this treatment or not.

PRP with Microneedling Procedure: Step-by-Step:

• At first, the treatment area is numbed using topical anesthesia after cleaning the surface properly.
• Then patients blood is taken only as much as is taken in standard tests
• Then the blood is centrifuged for 10 to 15 minutes to separate plasma
• After this, doctors create micro injuries using pen devices on the skin surface.
• The pad is then applied while the needling process is ongoing or right after it.
• At last, the final coat of plasm is applied with soothing cream, and then you are good to go.
