Microneedling with PRP in our Boston, MA Med Spa

DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Boston, MA is proud to offer AquaGold Fine Touch microneedling, a treatment that punctures small holes into the skin on your neck, face, or chest to stimulate skin repair. As an additional bonus, your platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be administered to the same region to help cells heal and enable the skin to begin growing new cells. These two procedures together can lessen the appearance of lines, wrinkles, scars, and spots, along with other skin problems. The feel of your skin may be significantly enhanced to appear smoother and more even without damaging the epidermis. If you would like to learn more about the AquaGold Fine Touch microneedling with PRP procedure, schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our excellent team members.

An ideal candidate for AquaGold Fine Touch microneedling with PRP is anybody looking to alter 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 all skin conditions that could benefit from microneedling with PRP treatment. Patients can also use this treatment to fight the effects of sun damage that might have caused the skin to feel rough or hyperpigmentation.

Before we perform microneedling, a member of our team will take a sample of your blood for the PRP collection. The drawn blood is taken to our lab for the separation process where we condense the concentrated cells, platelets, and growth factors into PRP. For the microneedling treatment, DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa employs innovative technology to make minuscule holes in your skin. The little needles used won't damage your skin, but instead, they will help stimulate the creation of collagen. When the microneedling is done, the PRP is applied to the skin to let it sink in. Once the PRP is completely absorbed, we will remove it and cleanse the skin.

Address your aging concerns with CIT & PRP.

CIT creates tiny microchannels in the skin, thus stimulating the body‘s production of new collagen and elastin. And when you add your own platelet rich plasma (PRP) to the treatment, it will boost the treatment to the next level. PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite the body’s own repair process and stimulate new collagen and elastin production. PRP also reduces inflammation and helps to plump the skin. Your skin will appear younger looking and rejuvenated. Fine lines and wrinkles will be diminished, skin texture is improved, acne scars are minimized, and skin becomes firmer with more-even skin tone.

Following your therapy, you could experience some normal effects, such as swelling, bruising, and redness. We recommend avoiding the use of makeup and exfoliating face washes and abstaining from swimming in chlorinated pools for approximately three days post-treatment. Activities like these may expose your skin to harsh chemicals and bacteria, which could cause negative side effects. You also should limit your exposure to the sun or use protective measures when you plan to be outdoors. Typically, patients notice final results within several weeks as the skin works to repair and heal itself.

How much does microneedling with PRP cost?
Microneedling with PRP treatments will be priced according to the number and size of areas receiving treatment. After your consult with your technician to build your personalized treatment to fit your needs and goals, pricing can be estimated. DeRosa Center Facial Plastic Surgery & Med Spa frequently offers discounted packages of several microneedling with PRP as well as monthly treatment specials. Ask about these and which payment methods we accept when you schedule your consultation and first treatment.

How effective are microneedling with PRP treatments?
Microneedling with PRP treatment results may not be visible immediately, but the healing factors from the platelet-rich plasma serum will help to stimulate the growth of healthier, stronger skin. To see your ideal results, you should get an initial series of treatments and then maintenance sessions. Your technician will discuss what to expect during your initial consult so you know what will happen after your treatment.

How many microneedling with PRP treatments should I get?
Initially, you might prefer to schedule a few treatments scheduled every 2 – 3 weeks. Depending on the initial condition of your skin and your specific concerns, your aesthetician will create a treatment plan to restore the health and appearance of your complexion. Between treatments, you can get a facial or other skin treatment to remove dead skin layers and nourish the new growth.

This innovative procedure can help people looking to restore the look and texture of the skin. AquaGold Fine Touch microneedling with PRP can help make your skin look smoother, younger, firmer, and luminous.
