After years of sticking to your “tried-and-true” skincare regimen, the prospect of trying a new treatment might feel daunting.
But if your skin isn’t responding to your care like it used to—or if time is creating more dramatic changes to your skin quality and structure—we can empower your routine with microneedling with PRP.
At Medical Spa NP, our expert practitioners regularly use platelet-rich plasma to enhance the rejuvenating microneedling process, stimulating deep skin repair and remodeling.
Keep reading to learn what pre- and post-care steps you can expect from microneedling with PRP in Lancaster, or contact the team to start your journey to stronger, healthier skin.
Preparing for Treatment
Your treatment at Medical Spa NP begins with a consultation. During this meeting with a licensed provider, you can discuss your skin concerns, treatment goals, and medical history. At this time, your provider also evaluates your facial anatomy and skin condition to better understand how microneedling with PRP can help you achieve your desired look.
As they craft your unique treatment plan, your skin specialist also reviews any necessary steps you can take to prepare your skin—and your body—for your next appointment. Because the success of microneedling with PRP also depends on the quality of your blood, we advise healthy habits leading up to treatment.
For clients undergoing microneedling with PRP in Lancaster, these pre-care steps typically include:
- Hydrating well prior to treatment
- Limiting your exposure to harmful UV rays the week of
- Avoiding the use of steroids, NSAIDs, and other blood-thinning medications 5 to 7 days before treatment
- Skipping any harsh skincare products in your routine 3 to 5 days prior
- Reducing alcohol consumption within 48 hours of your appointment
Additionally, you should arrive at each treatment session with your skin free of skincare or makeup products.
Caring for Your Refreshed Results
Following your microneedling session with PRP, a licensed nurse practitioner outlines how you can care for your healing skin and maintain your revitalized results. They will provide you with a post-care kit you can follow along with at home, complete with personalized instructions.
After treatment, you might notice mild swelling or redness. As your dermis repairs and strengthens itself, your provider will probably recommend that you:
- Use a cold compress on the treated area to reduce inflammation
- Apply gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and SPF as directed
- Do not massage the treated skin until it fully heals
- Limit makeup application within the first 24 hours
One microneedling treatment can reverse a year’s worth of collagen degeneration. Often, our providers recommend starting with a series of 3 monthly microneedling sessions to kick-start your skin’s collagen production. Your Medical Spa NP practitioner can help you schedule subsequent appointments according to your treatment plan, continuing to strengthen your skin barrier and tighten the dermis from the inside-out.
