Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – McKinney, Plano, and Dallas, TX

Microneedling is a process that punctures little holes in the skin on your neck, face, or torso to stimulate skin restoration. Our team is proud to perform this procedure with the MicroPen by Eclipse, the leading manufacturer of automated microneedling. As an extra bonus, your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be applied to the same region during or after your microneedling session to help skin tissues to heal and enable the skin to begin growing new cells. When combined, the procedures can lessen the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, large pores, and scars, along with other skin problems. The feel of your skin could be significantly enhanced to look smoother and more even in tone without damaging the epidermis. If you'd like to find out more about microneedling with or without PRP, contact Setty Plastics & Aesthetics in Dallas, TX to schedule a private consult with Dr. Naveen Setty.

An ideal candidate for microneedling is anybody seeking to modify the look or feel of the top layer of their skin. Uneven skin tone, dry skin, harsh texture, loose skin, age spots, acne, wrinkles, and scarring are skin conditions that may benefit from a microneedling with PRP therapy. This therapy may also be employed to fight the effects of sun damage that might have caused the skin to have a rough texture or hyperpigmentation.

A microneedling treatment is completed in a private treatment room in around 30 – 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if preferred; however, patients generally report little or no pain and discomfort. The areas of skin being addressed will be cleaned before the handpiece is evenly passed over it. If you are combining your microneedling procedure with PRP therapy, a member of our healthcare team will take a sample of your blood for the treatment. The blood will then be transferred to our laboratory so it may begin the separation process during which the platelets, growth factors, and stem cells can be made into PRP. When the microneedling is finished, the PRP serum will be applied to your skin where it will be naturally absorbed. Once the PRP is allowed to soak into your skin, we'll clear away the remaining PRP and conclude your session.

After your therapy, you might encounter some ordinary effects, such as swelling, redness, and bruising. It can take around 1 – 2 months as the elastin and collagen supply increases until you notice significant changes in the appearance and health of your complexion. You should schedule around 4 – 6 follow-up sessions performed every 4 – 6 weeks for ideal outcomes and long-lasting skin benefits.

This innovative procedure can be quite helpful for people seeking to reestablish a youthful look and texture to the skin. Microneedling can help make skin appear smoother, fresher, luminous, and firm. We urge patients to find out more about this therapy by speaking to a member of our skilled team or by setting up an appointment at our McKinney or Dallas, TX practice today.
