Understanding the Power of PRP and Microneedling Synergy
The combination of microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) represents one of the most significant advances in regenerative skincare. At Púr MedSpa and Wellness, we’re utilizing this powerful duo to achieve unprecedented results in skin rejuvenation. This comprehensive guide explains this advanced treatment approach’s scientific mechanisms and benefits.
The Science of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma is derived from your own blood through a sophisticated process:
Blood Collection
- Small amount drawn (approximately 10-15ml)
- Collected in specialized tubes
- Handled with sterile technique
Centrifugation Process
- Blood components separated by density
- Platelets concentrated up to 5-10 times
- Growth factors isolated
- Plasma extraction performed
Platelet Activation
- Natural activation process
- Release of growth factors
- Preparation for application
- Maximum potency achieved
