What are platelet-rich plasma and microneedling?

PRP and microneedling at LA Medical Clinic Inc are anti-aging treatments that take years off your appearance without pain, invasive procedures, or downtime.

PRP

PRP uses platelet-rich plasma from your blood to stimulate new cell growth naturally. Your provider may inject PRP into your face or scalp or apply it to treated skin with microneedling to enhance cell regeneration.

Microneedling

LA Medical Clinic Inc offers SkinPen® microneedling and Morpheus8 technology, which combines microneedling with painless radiofrequency energy. Microneedling uses very fine needles to enhance collagen and elastin production or hair regrowth. The treatment increases your body’s natural ability to heal. 

What are the benefits of PRP and microneedling?

The benefits you can expect after undergoing PRP and microneedling include the following:

• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• Faster hair growth
• Smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin
• More collagen and elastin production
• Healthy glow
• Younger-looking appearance
• No pain, surgery, or downtime

You might be a candidate for PRP, microneedling, or both of these highly effective aesthetic procedures.

Are PRP and microneedling right for me?

To determine if PRP and microneedling are the right cosmetic treatments for you, a LA Medical Clinic specialist discusses your medical history, examines your skin and hair, and reviews your aesthetic goals. They then customize a plan and tell you what to expect during treatment sessions. 

What happens during PRP and microneedling treatments?

During PRP and microneedling, you rest comfortably while a LA Medical Clinic specialist cleans and numbs the treatment area, if needed, to optimize comfort. They use a handheld device to apply microneedles or take a blood sample and inject or apply PRP to targeted tissues while you relax. 

The length of time each treatment lasts depends on the area, but it could take 30-60 minutes. Afterward, you can resume your typical daily activities.

What should I expect after PRP and microneedling?

After PRP and microneedling, the treatment area may be temporarily sensitive, tender, red, and swollen. Protect treated skin from the sun and keep it clean during healing. You might need multiple treatment sessions with periodic maintenance appointments to achieve superior anti-aging results. Your specialist lets you know when to schedule your next visit.
