PRP Micro Needling – Your Ultimate Collagen Inducing Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation

Our skin is often the first to show signs of ageing. Naturally, we all desire to look fresh, young and radiant for as long as possible. The good news is, that many in search of effective treatments have found PRP (platelet-rich plasma) skin Microneedling to show successful outcomes.

Here’s everything you need to know about a PRP skin Microneedling procedure at Cosmetic and Laser Dentistry Centre/Melbourne Aesthetic Dental Centre in Melbourne.

PRP Microneedling – What is it?

For a lot of people dealing with dullness of skin and other signs of ageing, PRP microneedling has become one of the very reliable solutions. This treatment is a non-surgical procedure that stimulates cell growth using your own blood platelets. And here’s how it works – Your blood, with its 4 components of white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, is placed in a centrifuge. The spinning separates the platelets and plasma from your blood cells. We then use a micro-needling procedure where multiple needles make minuscule holes in your skin through which the PRP is deposited back into your skin.

What does PRP micro needling at our Melbourne clinic involve?

The procedure for a PRP microneedling treatment may sound complicated but is simple, quick, and effective. Here is what you can expect during your treatment:

Step 1: During your appointment, we will draw a little blood from your arm (or any accessible area) to process it so that the platelets within can be separated.

Step 2: The drawn blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate PRP from the blood cells.

Step 3: We will thoroughly cleanse your face, to prepare the skin to receive the PRP

Step 4: We will apply a topical anaesthetic to eliminate discomfort during your treatment.

Step 5: We then use a microneedling device to create microchannels in the skin. This step stimulates the skin-repairing process through collagen and elastin stimulation.

Step 6: The concentrated PRP is then applied to the treated area to work its magic and ensure skin rejuvenation. Since the platelets are brimming with bioactive substances and growth factors, your skin’s rejuvenation is further enhanced.

Once the procedure is completed, we will share a list of after-care instructions to help you heal and ensure optimal results.

While a PRP microneedling procedure is safe, we do not recommend it for individuals who suffer from autoimmune conditions, or who have had certain implants or cancer in the past. People on blood thinners and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are also not considered suitable candidates for PRP microneedling.

  • You are on medication
  • You are required to take blood thinners or have any conditions affecting your blood
  • You are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy for cancer
  • You suffer from a skin condition like psoriasis or eczema
  • You have scar bumps or keloid scars

A consultation with a qualified aesthetician will help you better understand if the treatment is right for you.

Your PRP micro needling session can take anywhere between 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The extent of treatment needed will also determine the number of sessions you may require.

The cost of your PRP micro needling treatment will depend on a number of factors like the area being treated and will be discussed with you at your consultation appointment

What should I expect after my PRP micro-needling treatment?

The procedure will work as a collagen induction treatment in Melbourne, that gives your skin a rejuvenated appearance over time.

Like most other cosmetic skin treatments, your PRP skin needling procedure may cause redness or swelling around the site of treatment. This subsides over time with proper after-care. In case the redness and swelling persist beyond a couple of days, following up with your practitioner is recommended.

How soon can I see the visible results of the treatment?

The results of a PRP micro needling treatment become more prominent with each session. We recommend at least 3 sessions spread 4-6 weeks apart. You will be quick to notice improved skin elasticity. However, your skin will continue to improve with each session and show significant results after each treatment. You will see the complete results about 3 months after your last treatment.

A yearly maintenance treatment is recommended to maintain the optimal result.
