Facial rejuvenation can address a spectrum of skin issues, from acne scars to aging signs. At AM Facial Plastics in Beverly Hills, CA, we specialize in this type of solution, prioritizing advanced, patient-centered approaches.
Microneedling with PRP is one of our options. This method leverages the body’s natural healing abilities to refresh and restore the skin. Our expertise ensures that each session effectively addresses the specific skin concerns of our patients, including dull skin, acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component of the blood that is packed with growth factors and proteins that foster healing and tissue regeneration. PRP can help in the repair of damaged tissues and the promotion of cell growth.
PRP is derived through a process that involves concentrating platelets from a person’s blood. Once the PRP is separated, we can use it in many different ways, including with our microneedling treatments.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a dermatological treatment that involves making little holes in the skin’s surface using sterile needles. This causes the skin to start healing, which can encourage collagen and elastin production. Once the skin has healed from the treatment, it can have improved skin texture and firmness, reduced pore size, and a decrease in the appearance of scars and wrinkles.
Combining PRP With Microneedling
When microneedling with PRP is performed, the effect of these two techniques together can amplify the skin’s rejuvenation process. PRP enhances the healing response initiated by microneedling, leading to more pronounced and quicker results. This combination not only accelerates the skin’s natural regeneration cycle but also maximizes the benefits of each treatment.
The Benefits of PRP Microneedling
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
PRP microneedling addresses fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production. Collagen supports the skin and is in plentiful supply when the skin is young. However, as skin ages, collagen production decreases, leading to deeper lines and folds in the skin. As the skin undergoes natural rejuvenation during PRP microneedling, the appearance of wrinkles diminishes, giving way to smoother, more youthful skin.
Improvement of Dry Skin
Dry skin can benefit from microneedling with PRP since the process can help exfoliate, hydrate, and nourish even the deeper layers of the skin. PRP’s growth factors enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to a lasting, natural glow and improved skin health. Microneedling helps the skin to be able to absorb more of the nourishing skin products you use as part of your skincare routine.
Reduced Hyperpigmentation
This treatment can effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, including age spots and sun damage. By stimulating the skin’s repair mechanism and breaking down excess melanin, it promotes a more uniform skin tone, addressing uneven pigmentation at its source.
Decreased Pore Size
Microneedling with PRP benefits can extend to the diminishing of large pores. Additional collagen in the area can help tighten and firm up the skin around the pores. While the pores themselves can’t become smaller, their appearance can decrease as your skin heals from the treatment.
Improved Acne Scars
PRP microneedling can also be effective in improving the appearance of acne scars. During this treatment, the microneedles can help to break down scar tissue. The collagen stimulated through the treatment can also help to fill in dips and depressions caused when the body imperfectly healed the acne lesion. Overall, this treatment can help to smooth out the skin’s texture and reduce the visibility of scarring for a clearer complexion.

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for PRP Microneedling?
PRP microneedling is most effective for those looking to enhance skin texture, tone, and appearance, such as patients wanting to treat fine lines, scars, and uneven pigmentation. It suits a variety of skin types and is ideal for people who prefer non-invasive, natural-looking treatments. It may not be recommended for those with certain skin conditions or active infections.
