Microneedling with PRP in Maui, Wailuku, HI

Microneedling just on its own is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a roller with small needles to gently prick the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Microneedling can be easily combined with a variety of other cosmetic treatments, particularly those that include topical serums or products since they will be more easily absorbed and thus more effective when applied during a microneedling session. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a great option to combine with microneedling, allowing for the results provided by microneedling to be much more effective. The treatment itself will start with microneedling, immediately following with the blood being drawn that will be placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood to be then applied to the freshly treated skin.

Both microneedling and PRP provide very effective improvements to the skin by stimulating increased production of collagen and elastin deep within the layers of skin, resulting in several benefits, the most popular of which is anti-aging. This combination of treatments allows for a very effective reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as decreased pigmentation including age spots and sun damage. The new increase of collagen and elastin is great for reducing the appearance of scars including acne scars and stretch marks, and provides overall improvements of the tone and texture of the skin. Studies have also shown that microneedling with PRP can provide beautiful results even faster due to the addition of PRP which speeds up the natural healing process.

By having the two cosmetic treatments combined, not only will all of the provided results be amplified, but patients will be able to enjoy the benefits of both treatments while only having to schedule one appointment.

Microneedling works by causing a bunch of micro-wounds in the skin, which forces the cells to regenerate as new layers of skin as the healing process goes underway. The natural healing process of the skin involves significantly increased production of collagen and elastin, both of which are essential in preserving the youthful appearance and feel of the skin as their production gradually decreases as we continue to age. The loss of collagen and elastin causes the skin to lose volume and structure, leading to sagging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. PRP also increases the production of elastin and collagen in the skin, and supports the natural healing process of our cells, so the addition of PRP to a microneedling treatment further boosts the anti-aging properties of both treatments, making the benefits more significant and even faster to achieve following the treatments. Having the microneedling completed immediately before the PRP is applied to the skin allows for deeper channels into which the PRP can get into multiple layers of the skin to provide even more significant results.

Treatments of microneedling with PRP can be used to treat several skin conditions, as they provide benefits that improve both the texture and the tone of the skin, with the most common skin conditions that are being treated including reversing the effects of aging in the skin. The effects that the treatments have on treating aging skin also work to reduce the appearance of scars, burns, and stretch marks, making it a suitable and effective treatment option for use in many different parts of the body. Having microneedling with PRP performed on the facial skin also results in visible smaller pores and works to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation such as age spots and sun spots, dramatically improving the appearance and feel of the skin in just a few treatments.
