Is Microneedling With PRP Permanent?

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care

Microneedling is a well known esthetic procedure that helps stimulate collagen production. A way to supercharge it is with platelet rich plasma—also known as PRP. Since PRP is integral to the natural healing process in the body, this causes your body to react faster and better improves the results of microneedling. Let’s look at the question, “Is microneedling with PRP permanent?”

While undergoing regular PRP microneedling sessions may make a permanent improvement in the quality of your skin, the procedure is generally not considered permanent. This is because if you do not undergo it regularly, the skin will eventually become damaged again. It also does not take as long when compared to surgical procedures.

However, microneedling with PRP can make a long lasting difference. For example, the treatment is often used to reduce the appearance of acne and surgical scars. These results may be effectively permanent in some cases.

Is Microneedling With PRP Better?

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care

Microneedling is known as an effective treatment for many skin concerns. However, new technologies and advancements have led to finding ways to improve the efficacy of microneedling even more. When considering their microneedling options, patients often ask us, “Is microneedling with PRP better?”

The answer is usually yes. Platelet rich plasma supercharges your body’s healing response which can improve the results of standard microneedling and help you heal faster. Microneedling creates micro-injuries that instigate your body’s healing response which produces more collagen, elastin, and other proteins which fill in acne scars, address sun damage, and more. 

When you choose to add PRP to microneedling, PRP is a substance that naturally occurs during the healing process. Therefore, it speeds up the response and supplements the healing for all around better results. There are times where traditional microneedling may be recommended over PRP, such as for those who cannot have their blood drawn, or those who only want to treat superficial or minor concerns.

However, microneedling with PRP is known to provide great results and treat a variety of skin conditions. Unlike other esthetic treatments, it is also safe and effective on all skin types and tones.

One Of Best Acne Scar Treatments: Microneedling With PRP

By | PRP Skin Care

Getting rid of acne scars is known to be a long and difficult process. Often, the complete elimination of acne scars is impossible, but certain treatment methods can reduce their appearance. Arguably, one of the best acne scar treatments is microneedling with PRP. 

Microneedling can be performed with or without platelet rich plasma. However, combining this collagen induction treatment with PRP supercharges the process. This can lead to increased cell turnover and higher collagen production. This, in turn, can lead to collagen filling in, or smoothing acne scars. Platelet rich plasma is known to aid and induce the healing process which allows for your body to treat your scars like a new wound.

The tiny punctures made through microneedling, push the PRP deep into the skin. While these holes in the skin are usually not visible to the naked eye, they trick your body into triggering your healing response. This can create new skin and provides nourishment to the treated areas.

These two powerful treatments combine to create one of the most effective and best acne scar treatments: microneedling with PRP. Your master esthetician can determine if your acne scars may benefit from microneedling with PRP.

Benefits Of PRP Facials

By | PRP Skin Care

Platelet rich plasma facials come in many forms. Microneedling with PRP as well as more traditional facials all feature many benefits. At PRP In Seattle, we offer microneedling with PRP and our proprietary zombie laser facial to help rejuvenate your skin. 

In general, PRP facials can supply benefits like: skin texture improvements, acne scar treatment, reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a more even skin tone. Arguably the best benefit, however, is that the PRP technology in our facials stimulates collagen production. 

Collagen is a protein that supports your skin and makes it supple and bouncy. PRP facials increase cell turnover and collagen production, a similar process to wound healing. This leads to your skin looking rejuvenated and can help smooth out acne scars and other similar skin concerns. PRP facials also have anti-aging benefits.

Overall, our master estheticians work to cater your PRP facial to your skin type and tone. To schedule a consultation with one of our master estheticians at PRP In Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.

The Zombie Laser Peel: How Our PRP Laser Peel Works

By | Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP Skin Care

Laser resurfacing and chemical peels are two of the most popular professional skincare procedures. Combined with platelet rich plasma, these procedures are supercharged. At PRP In Seattle, our proprietary zombie laser peel combines all the benefits of these treatments into one. 

When you come in for a zombie laser peel, your Seattle master esthetician will prepare the PRP and prep your skin for the peel. They will create the peel and apply it to the skin. Once fully applied, they will use a laser to slowly remove the skin peel. This leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and holds many benefits. 

Using targeted laser beams, the laser latches onto the pigment in the peel and powerfully resurfaces the skin as it removes the peel. The facial peel itself, like with a traditional chemical peel, works to reveal a fresh layer of skin and provide nourishment to your face. When the laser hits this new skin, it creates skin that looks healthier and more youthful. 

The combined efforts of PRP, chemical peels, and laser technology come together to offer a unique skincare treatment in Seattle. To schedule a consultation with a master esthetician at PRP in Seattle, call us at 206-279-2112 or contact us online.
