How Is This Treatment Performed?

Microneedling with PRP is a combined procedure that stimulates the production of collagen in your skin. This collagen helps your body to heal itself naturally. And the best part is that this treatment usually takes less than one hour to complete.

Microneedling

While the concept of microneedling may seem unconventional, this minimally invasive treatment offers patients dynamic results. For this treatment, a topical ointment is used to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. Once the ointment is applied, your skin professional will use the SkinPen® to create micro-injuries to the target areas. These micro-injuries are created by tiny needles that penetrate the upper layer of your skin.

PRP

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, which acts as a natural healing agent for the micro-injuries created. Before your microneedling session, your skin care professional will extract blood from your body (usually from the arm). This blood is then processed to separate the PRP. After the SkinPen® has made the necessary micro-injuries, the PRP is applied. The platelet-rich plasma is then absorbed into the skin through the micro-channels created from the microneedling process. Once the PRP has been applied, your treatment session is complete.

What Results Can Men Expect From Their SkinPen® Treatment?

Whether on a date or simply looking at your reflection in the mirror, it is important that men feel a sense of pride in their facial appearance. So many men, however, struggle with uneven skin tones and other imperfections, which can cause them to doubt their aesthetic qualities. After your SkinPen® treatment, not only can you regain clearer skin on your face, but you can also feel a strong sense of pride and comfort in your own skin.

While microneedling with PRP has many positive qualities, one of the most notable is that there is little to no downtime associated with this procedure. So, you will begin to look younger than you have in years before you know it.
