Understanding microneedling with PRF
Microneedling with PRF is a fantastic way to improve the health and appearance of your skin.
This skin rejuvenation treatment is a two-part process that works wonders. First, we use a special device with tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in your skin. Sounds scary, but it’s really not.
These tiny pokes—we’re talking super small—kickstart your body’s natural healing processes. They trick your skin into thinking it needs to repair itself, which starts to stimulate collagen production.
Then, we apply something called platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF. This is a special part of your blood that we get from you right here in our office.
This combination of treatments helps your body create a lot of new collagen. It’s truly a powerful way to get youthful skin.
PRF vs. PRP: What’s the difference?
You’ve probably heard of platelet-rich plasma or PRP, another popular skin rejuvenation treatment.
You might even be wondering if they are the same thing.
The main difference lies in how we prepare your blood.
With platelet-rich plasma (PRP), we add an anticoagulant to your blood after we draw it. This keeps the blood from clotting right away.
For PRF, we don’t use any anticoagulants. This allows the blood to clot and form a fibrin matrix naturally. This matrix acts like a scaffold for your growth factors and healing proteins. It releases these powerful growth factors more slowly over time, giving you longer-lasting benefits.
So, in a nutshell, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) works overtime to keep helping your skin.
The process behind PRF microneedling
The process for microneedling with platelet-rich fibrin treatment is pretty straightforward.
First, Dr. Stephen MarkhamClick to open in this tab will draw a small vial of your own blood, just like you would for a regular blood test. We then place this blood into a special centrifuge, which spins it at just the right speed to separate the PRF platelet-rich fibrin from the rest of your blood.
Once we have the PRF, Dr. Stephen MarkhamClick to open in this tab and his team apply it to your skin after the microneedling treatment. The tiny channels from the microneedling help your skin absorb the PRF so it can get to the deeper layers.
Those powerful healing proteins and growth factors in the PRF then get to work, helping your skin heal and rebuild itself from the inside out.
It’s a truly amazing process.
What can a PRF treatment address?
Microneedling with PRF can help with so many common skin concerns.
If you have wrinkles, sagging skin, or fine lines, this treatment can help you achieve younger-looking skin. It’s also incredibly effective for minimizing the look of acne scars and other scarring.
People who struggle with sun damage and dark spots often see great improvement, too. This treatment is a wonderful option if you’re looking to improve your overall skin texture and tone.
In fact, most patients notice fewer dark spots and a smoother complexion. Because this treatment uses your body’s natural healing processes, there is a very minimal risk of other complications.
It’s a great way to meet your aesthetic goals without a lot of hassle or minimal downtime.
The amazing benefits of PRF microneedling
The benefits of a PRF treatment are hard to beat. Because the platelet-rich fibrin acts as a slow-release system for healing proteins, you get continued healing properties long after your appointment.
This leads to longer-lasting, noticeable results.
It’s a great way to boost collagen and elastin production. This is different from traditional microneedling, which doesn’t include these extra growth factors.
