Platelet Rich Plasma Microneedling 101
Welcome to Skin School! Today we’re talking about a cool treatment that helps your skin look smooth and healthy — it’s called Platelet Rich Plasma Microneedling (we call it PRP Microneedling for short!). At The Longevity Lab in Rochester, MN, Nurse Lindsey and Esthetician Heather are experts at this special treatment. They help your skin feel happy and bright!
What is PRP Microneedling?
PRP Microneedling is a way to help your skin grow new, healthy cells. It uses tiny pokes in your skin and your own blood to wake up your body’s natural powers! First, a little bit of your blood is taken. Then, Nurse Lindsey or Heather spins it in a special machine to pull out the part of your blood that helps heal. That part is called Platelet Rich Plasma — or PRP.
Next, they use a tiny tool with teeny-tiny needles to make small pokes in your skin. Don’t worry — they put on numbing cream so it doesn’t hurt! After the pokes, they gently rub the PRP on your face. This helps your skin heal, glow, and grow new, happy skin cells.
Why Do People Like It?
Lots of people in Rochester, MN, love PRP Microneedling at The Longevity Lab! Here’s why:
It helps with acne scars.
It smooths out wrinkles.
It makes skin soft and shiny.
It helps your skin make more collagen (that’s the stuff that keeps skin firm!).
Even better? Since it uses your own blood, it’s super safe!
Who Can Try PRP Microneedling?
Adults who want their skin to feel fresh and look younger love this treatment. If you have little scars, dry skin, or lines from smiling, PRP Microneedling can help.
