What is Micro-Needling?
Micro-needling; which is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that is used to reduce aging signs and acne scars.

Results of micro-needling are visible within 15 days after the treatment.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
A blood sample is taken from the patient’s body. Then the blood is spun in the centrifuge for roughly 15 minutes. Centrifugation separates the blood components according to the density. Dermatologists extract the PRP to harness its powerful skin-healing effects.
How Does Micro-Needling Work with PRP?
This therapy is also known as Vampire Facelift.
A topical anesthetic is applied to the face. Derma-roller is passed over the skin which pricks small holes in the skin which increases collagen production. This also makes a way for PRP to move into the deep layers of the skin. The micro-needling process takes 30 minutes and that is the enough time to centrifuge the blood.
After micro-needling, PRP is massaged on the skin so that the platelets and beneficial growth factors get deep into the skin through holes to show its rejuvenating magic.
