PRP/PRF Microneedling for Healthier-Looking, More Refined Skin in Buffalo
PRP/PRF Microneedling combines controlled microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) derived from your own blood.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, while PRP or PRF can be incorporated into the treatment approach according to your practitioner’s protocol.
Microneedling + PRP/PRF for Next-Level Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling is a popular collagen-induction treatment used to improve the appearance of skin texture and other common concerns. Adding PRP or PRF creates an additional treatment component using concentrated blood-derived platelets and growth factors.
Your own blood is collected and processed before being used as part of the treatment. This combination may be considered for people looking to improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Dull-looking skin
- Uneven-looking skin
- Early signs of skin aging
- Overall skin quality
What Is PRP Microneedling?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.
During PRP treatment, a small amount of your blood is collected and processed to concentrate platelets within the plasma.
The PRP can then be incorporated into a microneedling treatment according to the practitioner’s technique. Microneedling itself uses a device containing very fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin.
These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and can encourage collagen and elastin remodeling over time.
