Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT®

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure for your skin. It uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. These proteins keep your skin firm and smooth. Microneedling has very little downtime but very visible results.

PRP is a solution of plasma and platelets where the platelet concentration is higher than whole blood (2-3x more). The solution is collected from the patient via a blood draw and placed into a small vacuum collection tube and spun until the plasma and platelets have separated from the red and white blood cells. It is injected back into your skin to stimulate the regrowth of damaged cells in targeted areas. 

PRFM is the exact same process as PRP except that the blood collected is placed into tubes containing calcium chloride. During the suspension, this solution causes the PRP to undergo fibrin polymerization, leaving the platelet rich plasma in a fibrin matrix, which is a more viscous solution. PRFM may be desirable for better and longer lasting results than PRP.
