Discover Microneedling with PRF: Tighten Skin & Revitalize Your Beauty
For information on PRF for under eyes, go here.
Microneedling with PRF is one of the greatest beauty treatments to hit the market. But does it tighten facial skin? The answer is yes! This cutting-edge procedure at Wild & Beautiful Med Spa can do wonders for deep wrinkles and loose skin that become more noticeable with age.
Like traditional PRP treatments, PRF is performed by extracting platelet-rich plasma from your own natural blood cells. The PRF process then takes additional steps to further filter out unnecessary red blood cell and white blood cell contamination for the ideal solution. Converting the PRP to PRF helps to better preserve the extracted platelets and sustain their release of growth factors for a longer period of time. This means a superior quality treatment and enhanced outcomes.
Microneedling treatment involves tiny needles that create controlled skin injuries, triggering the body to produce new collagen and elastin. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which comes from your own blood, is also rich in growth factors, accelerating healing and improving overall results. Want to discover the many benefits of this innovative new procedure? Contact our office and see how we tighten skin and address other common issues.
Our lead Advanced Nurse Practitioner begins by drawing your blood to place in the centrifuge to separate the fibrin rich plasma from the blood.
What's involved with microneedling with PRF?
Loose skin often forms around the eyes, cheeks, mouth, and jawline as we age. Other problems, like rough skin texture, age spots, and enlarged pores, can make you feel self-conscious and prevent you from looking your best. When products like drugstore creams and serums can't produce results, microneedling with PRF may be your next big step.
Microneedling treatment doesn't require any incisions or invasive surgery. Instead, a licensed medical aesthetician uses a device that carefully creates micro-injuries on your skin. These tiny holes activate your body's natural processes for creating new collagen and elastin.
Platelet-rich fibrin contains special growth factors that promote wound healing. When applied as a serum, PRF can speed up healing for even more dramatic and long-lasting results. While the process is nonsurgical, PRF does require a short blood draw at the beginning of your appointment.
Microneedling with PRF can treat the following skin problems:
Sun spots
Acne scars
Visible pores
Wrinkles and fine lines
Hyperpigmentation
Rosacea
Hair loss
First, we microneedle the affected areas, then apply the PRF topically as well as injected.
What are the recovery process and risks?
Microneedling with PRF is an outpatient procedure, so there's no need to worry about missing work or other activities after it's over. Some mild swelling and redness may occur, but these typically resolve within a few days. You will need to avoid sun exposure and swimming pools after treatment.
There are no major risks associated with microneedling or platelet-rich fibrin, but you may experience minor side effects, like skin irritation. It's important to follow our post-treatment instructions to ensure the best possible results. Remember that outcomes can vary depending on your needs and how well you care for your skin. Here's how you can prolong your results after microneedling treatment:
Use sunscreen to prevent sun damage
Moisturize daily to keep your skin hydrated
Eat a healthy diet and drink water to support overall skin health
Avoid smoking (which can prematurely age your skin)
Schedule regular appointments at our clinic for follow-up care
