MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP

Microneedling with PRP Santa Barbara – Vampire Facial® Santa Barbara

Microneedling with PRP is a non-surgical procedure that is customized for every patient. It utilizes skin tightening treatments along with platelet-rich plasma injections to stimulate the skin to facilitate skin rejuvenation designed to restore a youthful appearance to the face.

Microneedling uses very small needles to create microchannels within the localized area of the skin. The purpose of the treatment is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. PRP is injected into the skin to allow a more complete penetration into the layers of skin with a more even dispersion. Microneedling with PRP refers to the use of these facial rejuvenation treatments on the facial region, but the combination of treatments can also be applied to the rest of the body.
