Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP is used to reach deep layers of the skin to promote collagen growth and the natural healing process from sun damage and more. Amplify the benefits of both treatments simultaneously; the micro-injuries created by microneedling allow the platelet-rich plasma to penetrate deeper into the skin. This synergy effectively enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines, and helps reverse damage from sun exposure.

PRP Austin Microneedling: What is it & who needs it?
Microneedling is a safe, office-based procedure that allows us to take anti-aging therapy to the next level. Simply, a series of tiny needles are used to painlessly pierce your skin.
The purpose of the microneedles is to reach the lower layer of your skin, the dermis. It is in the dermis where collagen is made, the building block of your skin. It is also in the dermis where the signs of aging and sun damage show up. So being able to get to the dermis is critical to producing results. Unfortunately many procedures that are offered do not reach the dermis and have limited effectiveness.
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)
The effect of the tiny microneedles entering the dermis is to cause small micro traumas. Just like any other wound, these micro-traumas stimulate the body’s repair mechanism. As a result, new collagen formation is initiated. When used for cosmetic purposes, microneedling stimulates collagen production for skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling Microchannels
A by-product of the microneedles piercing the skin is that they leave microchannels that lead to the dermis. We can utilize these microchannels to infuse substances into the dermis to further enhance skin rejuvenation.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Our blood has cells called platelets that are involved in wound repair after injury. They contain a host of growth factors that they release at injury sites to start repairs. We can collect these cells from your blood (normal blood draw) and activate them to release these growth factors. This part of your blood is called PRP.
We can use the growth factors in the PRP for cosmetic purposes to trigger your body’s repair mechanisms for skin rejuvenation. PRP can also be used to improve fat transfer results and speed healing after laser resurfacing.
Microneedling with PRP
The physical effects of microneedling have been proven to stimulate collagen formation. This effect can be increased by using Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP. PRP consists of growth factors that we remove from a small sample of your blood.
We then place these growth factors on your skin after microneedling. The PRP growth factors then travel down the small channels created by the needles to reach the deeper layers of the skin. In the dermis, the PRP growth factors stimulate collagen repair and rejuvenation.
So we have these microneedles forming small channels to the dermis and inducing new collagen formation. We also have PRP growth factors that can start tissue repair. Why not combine them for even greater results?
Microneedling with PRP does just that. After standard microneedling, your PRP is obtained and placed on those newly formed microchannels. The PRP is drawn down to the dermis where it can further increase collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This can all be done in-office using topical anesthesia. It can be repeated every 4-6 weeks for even better results. It can also be combined with Botox, Juvederm, laser resurfacing, and Ultherapy for comprehensive rejuvenation.
PRP Injections
PRP can also be injected directly into the body. PRP Injection for face can be used to treat wrinkles or mixed with dermal fillers like Juvederm. PRP injections to joints like the knee have also shown some promise.
PRP for Hair Loss
Hair loss is due to many factors but it commonly involves the loss of hair follicles in the scalp. The growth factors in PRP are thought to be able to stimulate remaining hair follicles into a growth phase. This will produce notable hair growth. The good thing is that PRP Hair Restoration is safe, relatively painless, and can be repeated as often as needed.
How Is The PRP Placed In The Scalp?
A topical anesthetic cream is placed on the scalp to provide numbness. There are two main ways to introduce the PRP into the scalp. Micropen microneedling uses very small needles to make small perforations in the skin. This allows tiny pores to be made that allow the PRP to be placed on the surface and travel down towards the hair follicles. The other method is to use small needles to perform a series of small injections in the scalp. These two methods can be combined for best results.
How Long Before I See Results From PRP Hair Loss Treatments?
Since we are using your own growth factors, it could take 1-2 months before you see any results. The procedure should be repeated at the 2 month mark and then every 3-4 months as needed.
