Introducing Micro-Needling and PRP at South Coast Plastic Surgery
At South Coast Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California, both Dr. Kyle Song and Dr. David Dorfman are committed to offering the most exceptional and innovative skincare treatments. With the addition of licensed Medical Aesthetician Stephanie Sisco, South Coast Plastic Surgery is pleased to announce two new treatments available for clients:
Micro-needling and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
Kiss Stubborn Wrinkles Good-Bye
If you count wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scarring among your biggest skincare concerns, then it’s time to introduce yourself to micro-needling and PRP therapy. Both treatments use unique techniques to kick-start your skin’s cellular turnover, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and even acne scars.
Let’s take a look at how each treatment works:
Micro-needling: The Eclipse MicroPen is a treatment designed to help stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes, resulting in smoother and younger looking skin. The treatment uses a tiny needle-tip that quickly punctures the skin’s surface, which kick-starts the body’s collagen and elastin production.
The end result is increased cellular turnover, which helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes acne scars, and even fades the appearance of stretch marks.
The micro-needling procedure minimizes your discomfort; in fact, many patients compare it to feeling sandpaper rubbed gently across the surface of the skin. A topical numbing cream can be used to ensure a client’s comfort.
PRP Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses platelets from the blood that stimulate intensive wound healing. When injected into the treatment area, the platelets can expedite the body’s repair processes, which stimulate the procedure of elastin and collagen.
During the PRP therapy process, a small blood sample will be taken from the client’s body and processed within a special platelet separation machine. The platelets are then applied to the skin’s surface after a micro-needling procedure. Clients will need 3 to 6 treatments to see ideal results, which include minimized wrinkles, reduced stretch marks, and faded acne scars.
