Micro-Needling With PRP Massage or Injections
Micro-needling with PRP involves using a microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and promotes collagen production. PRP, extracted from the patient’s own blood and enriched with growth factors, is applied to the skin either through a massage or injected into specific areas to enhance the effects of the procedure. The PRP helps to accelerate skin repair, improve elasticity, and deeply nourish the skin. The procedure typically begins with blood collection, preparation of the PRP, and cleansing of the skin, followed by the application of a numbing cream. The microneedling device creates tiny channels, and the PRP is massaged or injected into these channels for optimal absorption. The treatment generally takes 60–90 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Some redness or swelling may be present for up to 24–48 hours. Results are visible within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over the next few months.
