Over-the-counter skincare products can alleviate small issues and protect your skin from damage. However, they may not be enough if you struggle with advanced hyperpigmentation and textured skin. This is why double board-certified surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa offers microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

So, what is microneedling, and when do you see results from microneedling with PRP? If you want better options to rejuvenate your skin, call DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA. We can answer your questions and explain the process in full. Learn about the many benefits of microneedling treatment with PRP below.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a noninvasive procedure that uses small needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The punctures from the needles stimulate our natural wound healing process and encourage collagen and elastin production. This is what renews the skin and addresses signs of aging. Microneedling can also be used to treat problems like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

So, what is microneedling with PRP? Microneedling procedures are enhanced by applying platelet-rich plasma into the treated tissue. This technology is used by patients who want to speed up the rejuvenation process. To accomplish microneedling with PRP, our professionals take a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. This is what separates the plasma from the platelets.

The many advantages of microneedling with PRP

It is important to meet with an expert, like Dr. DeRosa, to discuss if microneedling with PRP is an effective option for you. During a consultation at DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, you will speak privately with our providers in a comfortable setting. You can point out any problem areas while we address any questions you may have. If microneedling with platelet-rich plasma is not the best option, we may recommend alternative solutions.

So, what are the benefits of PRP treatment at our clinic in Boston, MA?

  • Minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime

  • Usually painless, thanks to topical numbing creams

  • Little to no downtime required

In terms of skin rejuvenation and results, you can expect to address:

  • Enlarged pores

  • Acne scars

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun spots

When do you see results from microneedling with PRP?

So, when do you see results from microneedling with PRP? Many people are surprised to learn that the benefits begin almost immediately. As soon as the micro-injuries are created, your natural healing response kicks in. It may take several weeks after microneedling with PRP for patients to see visible improvements. This depends largely on your skin condition and desired outcome.

As with many other procedures at our facility, consistency is key. It is recommended that women and men undergo several treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the desired results. Patients suffering from severe problems, such as deep acne scars or extensive hyperpigmentation, may require additional sessions.

I had an excellent experience at Dr. DeRosa's clinic! Dr. DeRosa and her staff were incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. I came in to have a keloid removed from behind my ear, and the entire process was seamless. During the procedure, they took the time to explain each step, which made me feel at ease and well cared for.

From the moment you walk in - one feels at ease - Coleen is the best. My previous IPL treatments have rejuvenated my skin and my self esteem. I'm very happy with the results so far with my most recent dermo abrasion consult and the process was so painless thanks to the amazing, Maggie. I highly recommend DeRosa to everyone! Rest assured you are in good hands at DeRosa Med Spa!

The entire staff was amazing and made the experience so easy and stress free. I had researched the procedure for the last three years visiting many plastic surgeons in and out of state but never felt comfortable enough to move forward. This is a big decision and I had to feel confident in my surgeon. The moment I met Dr DeRosa I knew she was the right surgeon for my procedure. Dr DeRosa is kind, patient, professional, board certified, knowledgeable, compassionate, you can tell she loves what she does. I’m so happy with my results! I received a partial facelift and a chin implant. With plans of one more procedure in the coming months. Thank you DeRosa Center!
