You use Accutane for acne (off for a year)
You have certain skin conditions, such as facial eczema or rosacea
You scar easily
You have a history of poor wound healing
You have undergone skin radiation in the last 12 months
Your skin has broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
You experience active acne flare up (inflamed and cystic)

WHY ADD PRP TO MY TREATMENT?
Traditional microneedling is used to treat everything from age spots and wrinkles to scarring and other forms of hyperpigmentation. PRP injections may boost these effects and help you achieve your desired results faster.You may have seen online photos of a celebrity or influencer’s face covered with blood after this procedure. This is where the nickname “vampire facial” comes from. However, these pictures show an older method of applying whole blood to the skin while micro-needling. With recent advances in treatment, only the PRP from the blood is applied to the face (a gold colored plasma). The result is a milder pinkness or redness on the face. You may be considered a good candidate for this procedure if you’re in sound health and looking to treat minor signs of aging.
