Microneedling with PRP FAQs at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center

• What is Microneedling with PRP?

  Microneedling with PRP is a great way to stimulate collagen production by rolling fine needles over the skin and applying platelets, one of our body’s most essential components- blood! The addition of this treatment makes it even more effective. What you may not know, though, are all these other excellent benefits that come alongside such enhancement in healing abilities and fewer wrinkles caused by an increase in elastin & proteins, among others.

• How Does Microneedling With PRP Work?

  Microneedling with PRP effectively stimulates collagen production by rolling fine needles over the skin and applying platelets, which are one of its components. The addition of blood may make this more potent for some people who want a surgical-grade treatment without having surgery!

• How Much Does Microneedling with PRP Cost?

  Microneedling is a treatment that uses PRP to stimulate the production of new skin cells. It’s safe, effective, and 90 minutes long-lasting with an average cost of around $700-$1k depending on your specific case needs (after detailed consultation).

  Microneedling with PRP is a great way to make your results last longer. You may only need 12 months of treatments, but this will vary depending on how many times we run into each other again!

• Do You Need PRP with Microneedling?

  PRP and microneedling enhance the natural wound healing cascade because of their high concentration in patients’ growth factors. The treatment acts synergistically with those created by skin needling, accelerating recovery time and simultaneously enhancing outcomes for both procedures!

  Depending on the aesthetic goal you’re trying to achieve, between three and six sessions of microneedling with PRP will be necessary. We strongly advise our clients to schedule these treatments four weeks apart so that they can see optimal results from their procedures!

  PRP is a much safer, all-natural alternative to dermal fillers, and the results are typically better than you can get with just cosmetic procedures like injections or implants alone!

• What Should I Tell My Doctor Before Getting Microneedling with PRP?

  If you’re considering microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), you should discuss a few things with your doctor beforehand. First, it’s essential to let your doctor know if you have any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, which could increase the risk of complications. It would help if you also mention any allergies or sensitivities you have and any medications you’re taking, as these could interact with the PRP. Finally, be sure to ask about the expected results and the kind of recovery time you can expect. Preparing and informing help ensure your microneedling with PRP experience is safe and successful.

• What Should I Do Before My Microneedling with PRP Treatment?

  Your doctor will give you specific instructions on preparing for your treatment. This may include:

  • avoiding unprotected and excessive sun exposure or tanning several weeks before your appointment
  • drinking lots of water in the days before your appointment
  • arranging a ride home from your appointment (which may not be entirely necessary depending on the office’s protocol)
  • arriving with a bare face (you may cleanse that morning, but you should avoid wearing makeup or moisturizer)

• What Should I Do After My Microneedling with PRP Treatment?

  Your doctor will work with you to create a treatment plan for you and your skin concerns. Microneedling with PRP is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in the office with little to no downtime. The process is relatively quick, taking about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Once the procedure is finished, your doctor may apply a serum or balm to help soothe any redness and irritation. You may also have the option to put on makeup to camouflage any temporary side effects. You can go home at this point unless an adverse reaction occurs.
