SKIN REJUVENATION NYC

MICRONEEDLING & PRP FACIAL

Skin rejuvenation in NYC can help nourish the skin to a healthier, more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin loses the elasticity it once had. Skin tone and texture experience change from normal aging, genetics, sun exposure, hormones, and more. Our NYC dermatologists can help you find the proper skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatment. They will ask you skincare questions, learn about your medical history, and examine your skin to help find the proper treatment for you. Having a proper skincare routine can help the skin look more radiant, boost collagen, increase circulation, nourish dry skin, and more. Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill offers a variety of skin rejuvenation treatments, including PRP skin rejuvenation treatments and microneedling.

WHAT IS PRP SKIN REJUVENATION?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has many medical uses because of plasma’s rich growth factors. PRP has been used to treat damaged tendons, tendonitis, arthritis, and muscle and joint pain. Besides platelets, plasma is also rich in white blood cells. Both platelets and white blood cells have nourishing properties that can boost collagen production and make skin complexion look glowing and radiant. At Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill, we offer PRP skin rejuvenation to improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, repair skin damage, and more. Platelet-rich plasma is especially useful for facial skincare and offers many anti-aging properties. During PRP skin rejuvenation your blood is drawn exactly as if you were having a routine blood test. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge where the blood cells and platelets are separated for use.

WHAT CAN PRP SKIN REJUVENATION DO FOR ME?

PRP therapy, otherwise known as a PRP facial, can improve your skin tone, texture, and your overall complexion. PRP therapy is also useful for treating more specific skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and facial scarring. PRP facial skin rejuvenation has also been called Dracula therapy and a vampire facial since it uses growth properties found in the blood as an anti-aging treatment. PRP therapy is administered via tiny injections into the treatment area(s). A topical numbing cream will be used so that patients feel comfortable during their procedure. Most of the injection marks should disappear within a day or two.

PRP therapy combines a natural treatment option with modern technology. The improvements from PRP therapy are transformative, giving your skin a renewed appearance. Most patients will notice improvements to their skin within the first month of treatment, but many see the most improvement after 3 months.

WHAT IS NYC MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling is a cosmetic skin rejuvenation treatment that can address various skin conditions, such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, age spots, acne scarring, and active acne. Microneedling has also been called collagen induction therapy. Cell turnover and collagen production are stimulated with the help of fine micro-grade needles. During your microneedling treatment, one of our NYC dermatologists will use a specialized roller device that pricks the skin with microneedles. Microneedling jumpstarts the skin’s natural inflammatory healing process. Once the body is signaled to heal the skin, new collagen starts to form. Microneedling can also be combined with PRP and radiofrequency technology for the most comprehensive results. Platelet-rich plasma therapy used alongside microneedling can promote a quicker recovery. Radiofrequency and microneedling combine two of the most effective treatments for collagen production to improve skin elasticity. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that can improve skin quality with little-to-no downtime.

WHAT IS A MICROPEN™?

MicroPen™ microneedling is an advanced device that can treat fine lines and acne scars, and deliver improvements to skin texture, tone, and color. The MicroPen™ creates a seamless experience that delivers tremendous results for those that wish to improve their skin. The needles contained within the device use quicker movements than other microneedling devices of the past. This creates a more comfortable experience for the patient. MicroPen™ microneedling will boost collagen and elastin production for healthier, more beautiful skin.

CAN MICRONEEDLING AND PRP THERAPY BE COMBINED?

Yes! Combining microneedling and PRP therapy can deliver the most collagen and elastin production. The team at Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill can help you decide what skin rejuvenation treatment is right for you.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING MY NYC SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT?

Skin rejuvenation in NYC is an in-office, outpatient procedure. During microneedling, the skin will be cleaned and a topical lubricating gel is applied. This allows the MicroPen™ to move across your skin more easily. During PRP therapy, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treated area(s) to make sure you are comfortable during your procedure. Platelet-rich plasma is extracted from your blood, and platelets are separated in a spinning centrifuge and injected into the target area(s) using a fine needle.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY NYC SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT?

Both microneedling and PRP facials require little-to-no downtime. Patients can resume their normal day-to-day activities following treatment. You should begin to see your skin rejuvenation results within the first month. Your skin texture and complexion should continue to improve within the following months.

HOW MANY SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, and overall patient goals. Most patients can expect to need at least 1 to 2 treatments to see the best results. Our NYC dermatologists can help you determine the proper number of treatments during your in-office consultation.
