Microneedling with PRP in Houston, TX

MyBodyMD offers microneedling, a treatment that punctures tiny holes in the skin on your neck, face, or chest to stimulate skin restoration. As an added bonus, your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be administered to the same region to help cells heal and permit the skin to grow new cells. These two procedures together are usually referred to as the vampire facial and can decrease the appearance of scars, wrinkles, fine lines, spots, large pores, along with other skin issues. The feel of your skin could be greatly improved to appear smoother and more even in tone without damaging the skin. If you would like to learn more on microneedling with PRP treatment, schedule a one-on-one consultation with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rafi Bidros at His office in Houston, TX.

Microneedling is a popular solution since it can help refresh the complexion in as little as one appointment. Through the incorporation of PRP, your improvements can be even further magnified. A lot of individuals at MyBodyMD get a variety of advantages from microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, including:

• Reduced recovery time than with microneedling only
• Appropriate for most skin types
• PRP improves collagen and elastin production down within the skin for optimal outcomes
• Outcomes can be sustained for a minimum of one year
• Treats numerous problems at a time, including fine lines and wrinkles, skin feel problems, dark spots, uneven skin color, acne scars, large pores, and more

A good candidate for microneedling with PRP is anyone looking to modify the appearance or texture of the surface of their skin. Uneven skin tone, dry skin, harsh texture, age spots, loose skin, acne, wrinkles, and scarring are skin conditions that may benefit from microneedling with PRP therapy. This procedure can also be used to combat the effects of sun damage that might have caused the skin to have a rough feel or hyperpigmentation.

Prior to the microneedling section of your treatment, someone from our medical staff will draw your blood for your PRP collection. The drawn blood will then be transferred to our lab for the separation process during which the stem cells, platelets, and growth factors will be turned into PRP. For the microneedling treatment, MyBodyMD uses innovative technology to make tiny holes into your skin. The tiny needles won't harm your skin but will instead help stimulate collagen production. Once the microneedling is done, the PRP serum will be applied to the skin to sink in. Once the PRP is fully absorbed, we will clear away the serum and cleanse your skin.

How much does microneedling with PRP cost?
Treatments of microneedling and PRP will be priced based on the number and size of areas receiving treatment. In your initial consultation with your technician to create your custom treatment plan to address your needs and goals, pricing can be discussed. MyBodyMD frequently offers discounted packages for several treatments, like microneedling with PRP, in addition to monthly specials. You can ask about these and the payment methods we accept when you schedule an appointment.

How effective are microneedling with PRP treatments?
The results from microneedling with PRP treatments may not be visible immediately. Still, the growth factors from the platelet-rich plasma serum are meant to stimulate growth for healthier, stronger skin. To see your optimal results, you should get several treatments initially and then maintenance sessions. Your aesthetician will review realistic expectations in your consultation so you know what will happen after your treatment.

How many microneedling with PRP treatments should I get?
Initially, you might want to have multiple microneedling with PRP treatments performed every 2 – 3 weeks. Depending on the condition of your complexion and your specific concerns, your technician will develop a microneedling with PRP treatment plan to restore the health of your complexion. Between treatments, you can schedule another skin treatment to remove dead skin layers and nourish the new growth.

How often should I get microneedling with PRP treatments?
Following the initial series, you should schedule maintenance microneedling with PRP sessions 2 – 4 times per year. This will vary based on the age and health of your complexion and goals, so our team will help decide on your long-term microneedling with a PRP plan. Your technician will be able to recommend how frequently you should schedule microneedling with PRP maintenance treatments so your skin remains fresh.

Should I get microneedling with PRP or injectable wrinkle treatments?
Although microneedling with PRP delivers long-term results like stronger, healthier skin, different treatments provide faster improvements. Depending on your concerns, you may prefer microneedling with PRP alone, or you could combine it with an injectable treatment, such as BOTOX or a dermal filler. At your initial consultation, your technician will create your custom treatment plan to match all your concerns and goals.
