Collagen Induction Therapy: 6 Skin-Renewing Benefits of Combining Microneedling With PRP
Tiny needles. Powerful results. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, transforms skin by awakening the body's natural healing processes. Combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), this revolutionary treatment delivers even more dramatic improvements.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Brooks and his team at Brooks Plastic Surgery in Hollywood, Florida, have witnessed remarkable transformations through microneedling with PRP. Here's what you need to know:
1. Stimulates natural collagen production
Microneedling is an innovative procedure that creates microscopic injuries in the skin, which triggers your body's repair response. As your skin heals, it produces fresh collagen and elastin – the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. PRP supercharges this process. Together, they create a powerful catalyst for skin renewal that leaves you with resilient, supple skin.
2. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles fade as new collagen emerges. Your skin plumps naturally from within, smoothing away signs of aging. Some patients see improvements after a single session. Regular treatments make the results even more profound, revealing a fresher, more youthful appearance that lasts.
3. Enhances skin tone and texture
Uneven skin tone, rough patches, and enlarged pores can make the skin appear dull and aged. Microneedling breaks down uneven pigmentation while PRP accelerates cell turnover, promoting a brighter, more even complexion. The treatment also helps refine the skin’s surface, making it feel smoother to the touch.
4. Improves the appearance of scars
Scars can leave lasting marks on the skin, whether caused by acne, injury, or surgery. Microneedling creates micro-channels that help break down scar tissue, while the PRP encourages new, healthy tissue to form. Over time, this dual-action approach can soften the appearance of scars and improve overall skin uniformity.
5. Minimizes hyperpigmentation
Sunspots and hormonal patches can mar your complexion. This treatment tackles them head-on. Your skin's natural cell turnover is sped up by the combination of microneedling and PRP. Dark spots fade. Fresh cells emerge. Your complexion becomes more radiant and even-toned.
6. Boosts skin hydration and glow
If one of your concerns, as you age, is dry, lackluster skin, you aren’t alone; it’s a common concern. PRP enhances your skin’s ability to retain moisture because it supports the regeneration of the skin barrier. Combined with microneedling, which allows for better absorption of topical treatments, the result is deeply hydrated, glowing skin that radiates health.
What to expect during treatment
We begin the process with a numbing cream to ensure comfort during the microneedling procedure. A device with fine needles is then used to create micro-injuries in the skin, followed by applying PRP derived from your own blood. The treatment is minimally invasive, and though some redness may occur immediately afterward, most people experience little downtime.
Achieve radiant, youthful skin
Combining microneedling with PRP is more than a trend — it’s a proven method for skin renewal. By stimulating collagen, improving texture, and addressing common skin concerns like scars and hyperpigmentation, collagen induction therapy offers lasting benefits.
Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles or restore a healthy glow, this treatment could be the solution you’ve been seeking.
