MICRONEEDLING AND PRP

Why Microneedling and PRP? | Cherry Medical Aesthetics | Denver

Why Microneedling and PRP?

Stimulate new collagen and elastin through SkinPen® microneedling or PRP.

SkinPen®

SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. It’s highly effective in stimulating new collagen and elastin, remodeling of scar tissue while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact and is great for all skin types.

There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

SkinPen® microneedling is a 60 min procedure. This is one of Cherry’s favorites!

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) | Cherry Medical Aesthetics | Denver

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP stimulates a more youthful look and can be used to enhance dermal fillers. Platelets are key factors in hard and soft tissue repair mechanisms. They provide essential growth factors which are involved in stem cell migration, using the patient’s own blood. Plasma contains many factors essential for cell survival including nutrients, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, growth factors and proteins. A simple blood draw is performed and PRP is injected under the eyes (tear troughs) to reduce dark circles and under-eye sagging or in the cheeks for a cheek lift. Procedure takes 30-45 minutes.

PRP Facials

PRP Facials is a combination treatment of SkinPen® Microneedling and Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP). This is the best of both worlds. Your plasma will be microneedled into the skin and applied topically following the microneedling. This will improve skin tone, texture, smooth fine lines, accelerate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to provide overall skin rejuvenation. A simple blood draw is performed, topical numbing agent is applied to the face for 30 minutes, cleansed and then you will receive the microneedling treatment with PRP. Procedure takes 60-115 minutes.
