Please Note: PRP is ONLY available in our Birmingham office and consultations are recommended before the treatment.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is an excellent all in one solution to help decrease the signs of antiaging. PRP is a revolutionary way to harness the body’s own rejuvenating healing power to generate new healthy tissue in conjunction with SkinPen.
After a simple blood draw, PRP uses the patient’s own plasma that is taken from your arm, spun in a centrifuge and then microneedled into your skin. PRP is a safe, FDA-approved solution to bring back elasticity and volume to your skin. The skin will repair quicker than with Skinpen alone and it will progressively improve in tone and texture in the following weeks post procedure.

FAQs | Who is a candidate for SkinPen Micro Therapy?SkinPen Micro Therapy can be used on all skin types and skin colors, and can address a wide range of problems, including acne scarring, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and any area where cell regeneration is desired. What happens during the SkinPen Micro Therapy procedure?A sterile and disposable cartridge containing 9 to 11 microneedles is attached to the tip of the SkinPen. A thin layer of topical serum is applied to the skin and the appropriate micro-channeling depth is selected for your skin, anywhere from .5mm for a light treatment up to 2.5mm for a more agressive treatment. In a gentle motion, the pen is glided across the target repair areas. At shorter needle depths, you will feel a tickling sensation. More aggressive treatments may require topical numbing cream. How does SkinPen Micro Therapy work?As the SkinPen is moved over the skin, it vertically penetrates the surface layers of your skin. Your skin reacts by initiating the healing process, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin. What can I expect after the treatment?Most patients begin to see results in one day to a week after treatment, though each patient's healing time differs. Immediately after treatment, you may notice a pink appearance in the treatment area. In some cases minor pin-point bleeding depending on the depth of the needle penetration. |

A series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimum results. However, improvement in skin texture and brightening may be noticeable after just one treatment. Three to four treatments may be required for treating mild wrinkles and fine lines, while the treatment of acne scars may require six to eight treatments.
