Collagen is a protein in the body and is necessary for keeping the skin elastic, supple and smooth, along with other health benefits.
To combat the effects of aging such as sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, collagen plays a major role in helping to halt these aging issues. The problem with many products that contain collagen is that collagen molecules are too large to actually penetrate the skin’s dermal layers.
As we age, collagen diminishes and wrinkles, sagging skin and other issues like cellulite will progress, and since topical creams or serums are unable to penetrate the deep layers of the dermis on their own. The treatment that so many individuals are drawn to is microneedling with PRP.
To further enhance the body’s ability to utilize collagen and decrease the signs of aging. Microneedling with PRP or collagen infused products is extremely beneficial, offering remarkable outcomes.
How it Works
Microneedling uses a handheld device covered with very small needles to trigger your body’s natural healing response and increase collagen in the skin. The device is gently rolled over your skin, making tiny punctures. A topical anesthetic is applied first and there is little to no pain or downtime. Stimulating collagen can improve the skin’s texture, lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne, scars, stretch marks, and other signs of aging.
PRP
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are cells in your blood that are responsible for regeneration and healing. A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to help concentrate the platelets, which are then applied to the skin before microneedling. This allows the PRP to absorb rapidly and deeply into the dermal layers. Microneedling coupled with PRP can help improve skin tone, texture, pore size and age-related skin conditions.
