Microneedling & Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Elevate your skincare routine with microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in Mystic and Guilford, CT. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, targeting wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, scars, and more. Add PRP to harness your body’s natural healing abilities to tighten skin, reduce lines, replenish volume, and more.  

What Is Microneedling? 

Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, involves pricking the skin with tiny, sterilized needles. These small “micro-wounds” trigger your body’s production of collagen and elastin—the substances in your skin that keep it pliable. Keeping your collagen and elastin healthy will help your skin resist the formation of fine lines and wrinkles that lead to an aging appearance.   

What Conditions Can Microneedling Treat?  

Microneedling may help with issues like: 

• Acne  
• Hair loss  
• Dark spots (hyperpigmentation) 
• Large pores 
• Skin laxity 
• Scars
• Stretch marks
• Sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling? 

Microneedling is less expensive than laser treatments, and it may work better for people with darker skin tones because it doesn’t involve the heat of a laser treatment, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation or color. 

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?  

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge procedure that harnesses the healing power of platelets and growth factors to stimulate an anti-aging response.  

PRP is an extract of your blood that contains 4 to 5 times the concentration of platelets and growth factors. A localized healing response is initiated when PRP is placed back into the skin by injection or applied topically following microneedling or laser. This response stimulates collagen production, which provides tightening and toning of your skin—reducing fine lines, improving volume loss, minimizing acne scarring, and healing rosacea. PRP has also been found in early clinical studies to help reverse androgenic hair loss in both women and men.

What Results Can I Expect From PRP?  

An overall improvement in skin hydration, texture, and tone can be seen within a few weeks. New collagen and blood vessels begin to grow after 3 to 6 weeks, and volume correction and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles occur over the next 3 to 6 months. The results are cumulative as you continue your maintenance program. 

For best results, 3 treatments are recommended 1 month apart, with a maintenance touch-up treatment every 6 months.
