Microneedling with PRP

We use the Eclipse MicroPen for microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, at our Beverly Hills office.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and is a substance found naturally in your blood that can promote healing. Platelets and plasma play a critical role in the body’s ability to heal itself from injury. PRP creates, stimulates, and accelerates the body’s natural healing process. Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the side effects are virtually eliminated. We draw a couple of teaspoons of your own blood and spin it down using a centrifuge that separates the blood so that we have access to the platelets and plasma (the good stuff) that can be used to treat a variety of issues.

When PRP is combined with microneedling, it penetrates your skin through the microchannels created from the microneedles. The PRP supercharges the microneedling benefits, enhancing collagen production and skin healing.

No. We apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment so you don’t feel any pain during the treatment.

About one hour. If numbing cream is required then that takes about 30 minutes to apply. After that, the actual microneedling takes about 30 minutes.

Microneedling downtime is only one to three days. After the treatment, there will be some mild redness. You will notice some results immediately and you will see your skin begin to improve more significantly over the course of two to three weeks. The full results can be seen up to six months after treatment as collagen production continues.

Each patient is different and will require a consultation before determining how many treatments you should have. While some patients notice an improvement after just one session, most patients require at least 3 sessions.
