SkinPen Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling, or “collagen induction therapy,” is a popular and effective regenerative treatment. With the addition of PRP (platelet-rich plasma), the results of microneedling are significantly enhanced. At Fenner Plastic Surgery in Chicago, our patients are thrilled with the results of this skin-renewing treatment.

Skin regeneration, the natural way: Microneedling with PRP.

Your body has the capacity to regenerate, and microneedling with PRP sends a signal to your system to rebuild and restore the skin. The micro-injuries created by the SkinPen microneedling device triggers healing, and when combined with the growth factors in PRP, flowing through the tiny channels to the skin structure, the regenerative effect is truly dramatic.

What can microneedling with PRP do for my skin?

The benefits of this skin-renewing treatment include:

Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production for firmer, healthier skin
Softens lines and wrinkles
Improves the look of acne scars and facial scars
Increases natural skin volume
Remodels your skin tissues
Diminishes the look of larger pores

What is the treatment like to experience?

SkinPen microneedling with PRP involves a two-step process. Initially, to create the PRP, we will draw some blood, just like a standard blood test. Your facial skin will be numbed with a topical cream for your comfort. The blood will be processed to create the PRP serum. The SkinPen microneedling device will be passed over your skin, focusing on your areas of concern, such as wrinkles and lines. The PRP is then massaged into your skin so it can enter the deeper skin layers to stimulate healing and natural skin regeneration. The entire treatment will require about one hour to complete.

How long is the recovery?

After your SkinPen microneedling with PRP, a soothing serum will be applied to your skin. The recovery time is about one day, with skin redness and minor peeling possible. You can apply makeup 24 hours after your treatment, and do not need to plan for days off work or other activities. Our skincare experts will advise you about the best cleansers and moisturizers to apply after your treatment, which should be gentle and enhance your results, without harsh ingredients that could inflame your skin. Avoid sun exposure for two weeks, and always use sunscreen if you need to venture out.

How does PRP work?

The platelets in the blood contain “growth factors.” PRP has been used in the medical field to stimulate wound healing for decades. As it is derived from your own blood, it is exceptionally safe. The growth factors in the PRP have the amazing capacity to trigger natural skin regeneration and enhance the results of microneedling. If you want healthy, glowing skin, you should consider undergoing this treatment – your skin responds by producing more collagen and elastin, with healthy, fresh skin cells rising to the surface, and your skin becoming more supple and firm.
