PRP, PRF, & PRFM: Microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The treatment aims to generate new collagen to smooth, firm, and tone the appearance of the skin.

The technique of microneedling creates micro-channels, which can facilitate the absorption of the platelets and their growth factors into deeper layers of the skin. Adding platelet-rich plasma to your microneedling treatment synergizes the regenerative potential of PRFM with the advantages of microneedling.

The combination of controlled injury and the introduction of growth factors play a pivotal role in the body's natural healing response. This dynamic duo targets a range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture, making it an attractive option for those seeking a holistic approach to skin improvement.

Post-procedure care is pivotal in maximizing the outcomes of PRFM therapy. Proper aftercare not only ensures the optimal integration of the platelet-derived growth factors but also reduces the risk of adverse effects such as infections or excessive inflammation.
