The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, fine lines, wrinkles and reduces the appearance of pore size while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
SkinPen with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), uses your skin's natural properties and ability to repair damaged tissues. Using a small sample of your blood, the blood is spun, resulting in enriched plasma that can be applied where it is needed with the SkinPen®. The SkinPen® uses a microneedling process that creates mini injuries. As the skin heals with proper aftercare, the result is better-looking, youthful and smoother skin.
