As people seek ways to maintain youthful skin, many are now opting for minimally invasive methods that offer similar results and potential health benefits. With the introduction of new anti-aging techniques in the aesthetic market, the trend of combining multiple treatments is emerging. One such combination is known as Microneedling with PRP.
At Dubai Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, we keep on reinventing our techniques by combining treatments, and the outcomes have not only been incredible, but cutting-edge as well.

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment aimed at anti-aging and skin rejuvenation, involving controlled micro-injuries to the skin. Immediately, the skin instigates a repair process to heal these micro-injuries and regenerates more collagen for this process. This collagen regeneration can make the skin more elastic and may significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, saggy skin, acne scars, and stretch marks.
Microneedling with PRP
When combined with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), Microneedling speeds up the healing process as compared to microneedling alone. Also, the treated area becomes more rejuvenated as if years have been shaved off from it. PRP is not a new or recent treatment in aesthetic medicine. This therapy uses one’s own blood to promote tissue repair, cell growth, and new collagen production. When combined with microneedling, it generates effective results for skin rejuvenation.
Procedure
After collecting blood from the patient, it undergoes centrifugation, a process to separate platelets from the blood. These platelets, when used during collagen induction therapy, release growth factors into the skin, which speed up repair and stimulate new elastin and collagen. As a result, the skin looks younger and healthier.
- Microneedling with PRP is a fairly easy procedure with minimal downtime. The procedure takes approximately one hour to complete, depending on the size of the targeted area. A numbing cream is used, which is left on the area for 30 minutes.
- While the cream numbs the target area, a tube of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a centrifuge. It is spun for about 10 minutes to separate the PRP from the red blood cells. The obtained PRP, rich in growth factors, is believed to aid in repairing injured tissues.
- The PRP is then applied to the skin, section by section, and the microneedling device is run over that area. This allows the PRP to sip into the micro-punctures created by the microneedles. It is done until the entire targeted area is completely covered.
- After the treatment, the targeted area will have redness and swelling, which lasts for about an hour.
Benefits
By using microneedling with PRP, the following benefits can be gained:
- PRP has a history of use in promoting faster healing of wounds. By using it during microneedling, PRP enhances the repairing process of micro-injuries created.
- The growth factors in the plasma stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.
- By potentially encouraging the growth of new tissues, PRP may improve the color and texture of the skin.
- With PRP, the risk of an allergic reaction is reduced as the blood is drawn from the patient.
- Wrinkles and fine lines may be reduced.
- Acne Scars can be reduced.
- Skin tone inconsistencies may be reduced.
- Skin thinning and discoloration disappears.
- The appearance of burns or surgical scars may be improved.
- The appearance of large pores may be minimized.
Outcomes
Microneedling with PRP therapy can lead to rejuvenated and improved skin appearance. Many aspire to have smooth and younger-looking skin, and this aesthetic procedure may help achieve such goals. Furthermore, it may contribute to a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem.
