Let’s talk about PRP! No, not the kind of PRP you might see in your office meetings, but the kind that could work wonders for your skin. PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma,” which is a fancy way of saying “the good stuff from your blood.” Basically, it’s the plasma (the liquid part of your blood) that has a higher concentration of platelets than usual. And those platelets are packed with growth factors, which help your skin heal and regenerate faster. Sounds pretty cool, right?

Here’s how it works: First, a small amount of your blood is drawn (don’t worry, it’s just a little pinch). That blood is then spun in a special machine called a centrifuge, which separates the good stuff (the platelet-rich plasma) from the rest of the blood components. This leaves us with a concentrated serum full of growth factors—nature’s little miracle for your skin!

Now, we get to the fun part: microneedling with PRP. This treatment involves using tiny needles to create micro-injuries on your skin, and then we apply the PRP directly onto those areas. This combination helps stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and accelerating tissue regeneration. It’s like giving your skin a VIP treatment to help it heal faster and look younger.

If you’re imagining pain or discomfort, fear not! In our Wilmington office, we offer a topical anesthetic to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. We want your experience to be relaxing and personalized to meet your specific needs, so you’ll feel like you’re getting a treatment tailored just for you.

So whether you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin or speed up healing, microneedling with PRP could be the answer. It may sound like science fiction, but trust us, it’s science at work—and it works like magic!
